6 Summary<br />

Themainsteps ontheway toameasurement of φs at LHCbhave beenpresented. Usingthedata<br />

taken by the LHCb <strong>de</strong>tector in 2010 the polarization amplitu<strong>de</strong>s <strong>and</strong> strong phases for the P →<br />

VV <strong>de</strong>cay B0 d → J/ψK∗ havebeenextracted. Anuntagged analysis wasperformedto<strong>de</strong>termine<br />

the <strong>de</strong>cay width difference in the B0 s system giving ∆Γs = (0.077±0.119stat. ±0.021syst.)ps −1 .<br />

Additionally the mixing frequencies in both the B0 d <strong>and</strong> B0 s systems have been extracted. The<br />

measurement of ∆ms = (17.63±0.11stat.±0.04syst.)ps −1 is competitive with the world average.<br />
