Abstract

Evidence for the decays B0 → anti-D0 ϕ and B0 → anti-D*0 ϕ is reported with a significance of 3.6 σ and 4.3 σ, respectively. The analysis employs pp collision data at centre-of-mass energies √s = 7, 8 and 13 TeV collected by the LHCb detector and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9 fb^−1. The branching fractions are measured to be B(B0 → anti-D0 ϕ) = (7.7 ± 2.1 ± 0.7 ± 0.7) × 10^−7, B(B0 → anti-D*0 ϕ) = (2.2 ± 0.5 ± 0.2 ± 0.2) × 10^−6. In these results, the first uncertainty is statistical, the second systematic, and the third is related to the branching fraction of the B0 → anti-D0 K+ K− decay, used for normalisation. By combining the branching fractions of the decays B0 → anti-D(*)0 ϕ and B0 → anti-D(*)0 ω, the ω-ϕ mixing angle δ is constrained to be tan^2 δ = (3.6 ± 0.7 ± 0.4) × 10^−3, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic. An updated measurement of the branching fractions of the B0s → anti-D(*)0 ϕ decays, which can be used to determine the CKM angle γ, leads to B(B0s → anti-D0 ϕ) = (2.30 ± 0.10 ± 0.11 ± 0.20) × 10^−5, B(B0s → anti-D*0 ϕ) = (3.17 ± 0.16 ± 0.17 ± 0.27) × 10^−5.
