Time-dependent CP violationis measured in the (—B)0→ J/ψπ+
π
− channel for eachπ
+π
− resonant final state using data collected with an integrated luminosity of 3.0 fb−1in pp collisionsusing the LHCb
detector. The final state with the largest rate, J/ψρ0(770), is used to measure the CP-violatingangle
2βeffto be (41.7 ±9.6+−26..83)◦. This result can be used to limit the size of penguin amplitude contributionsto CP violation
measurements in, for example,
(—B)0s→J/ψφdecays. Assuming approximate SU(3) flavour symmetry and neglecting higher order diagrams, the shift in the CP-violatingphase
φs is limited to be within the interval [−1.05◦,+1.18◦] at 95% confidence level. Changes to the limit due to SU(3) symmetry breaking effects are also discussed.©2015 The Authors.
