Abstract

In this chapter we present and discuss the results of the maximum likelihood fit to the time-dependent angular distributions of flavor tagged \(B_s^0 \rightarrow J/\psi \phi \)decays. We first report results from the fit in which the \(C\!P\)-violating phase \(\beta _s^{J\!/\!\psi \phi }\)is fixed to its SM value and then the results from the measurement of \(C\!P\)violation. Projections of the results of the likelihood fits in relevant distributions are also shown to ensure that the assumed models for the data distributions are accurate. The final results are compared with recent results from other experiments and theory predictions.
