Direct Measurement of angles: (sin(2)) ≈ 0.03 from J/ Ks in B
factories Other angles not precisely known
Knowledge of the sides of unitary triangle:
(Dominated by theoretical uncertainties) (|Vcb|) ≈ few % error
(|Vub|) ≈ 5-10 % error
(|Vtd|/|Vts|) ≈ 5-10% error
(assuming ms < 40 ps-1)
In case new physics is present in mixing, independent measurement of can reveal it…

Simulation and ReconstructionSimulation and ReconstructionAll trigger, reconstruction and selection studies are based on fullPythia+GEANT simulations including LHC “pile-up” events andfull pattern recognition (tracking, RICH, etc…)
Sensitivity studies are based on fast simulations using efficiencies and resolutions and from the full simulation

Adir (B0 ) = f1(d, , ) Amix(B0 ) = f2(d, , , d)
Adir (BsKK ) = f3(d’, ’, ) Amix(BsKK ) = f4(d’, ’, , s)Assuming U-spin flavour symmetry
