Tree and loop (penguin) diagrams for the $ B ^+ \rightarrow { J \mskip -3mu/\mskip -2mu\psi \mskip 2mu} K ^+ $ decay.

Mass distributions of selected (top) $ B ^\pm \rightarrow [ K ^\pm \pi ^\mp ]_{D}\pi^{\pm}$ and (bottom) $ B ^\pm \rightarrow [ K ^\pm \pi ^\pm \pi ^\mp \pi ^\mp ]_{D}\pi^{\pm}$ candidates in the bin with $4.5 < p_{\mathrm{ T}} < 9.5$ $ {\mathrm{ Ge V /}c}$ and $2.10 < y < 2.85$. These distributions sum over the two centre-of-mass energies. $B^{-}$ candidates are displayed on the left, and $B^{+}$ candidates on the right. The red dotted lines indicate the contribution from $ B ^\pm \rightarrow D\pi^{\pm}$ decays. The purple dash-dotted lines indicate the contribution from misidentified $ B ^\pm \rightarrow DK^{\pm}$ decays. The grey shaded regions at low values of reconstructed mass indicate the contribution from various partially reconstructed $B$ decays, and the green dashed lines indicate the combinatorial background. The total fit function is shown by the blue solid lines. The fit in other kinematic bins is similar, aside from the specific signal and background component yields.

These distributions sum over the two centre-of-mass energies. $B^{-}$ candidates are displayed on the left, and $B^{+}$ candidates on the right. The signal components are displayed as red dotted lines while the background from combinatorial events is shown by the green dashed lines.

The measured $\mathcal{A}_{\rm prod}( B ^+ )$ as a function of rapidity of the $B$ meson in three bins of $ p_{\mathrm{ T}} $. The ranges of $p_{\mathrm{ T}}$ are indicated in the legends. The left- and right-hand figures correspond to 7 and 8 TeV centre-of-mass energies, respectively.

The $p_{\mathrm{ T}}$ and $y$ intervals for each kinematic bin, and the corresponding signal yields in each of the $B^+$ decay modes, summing over the two centre-of-mass energies.

A summary of the terms that enter the production asymmetry determination (Eq. 5) in the 7 TeV data set. The $p_{\mathrm{ T}}$ and $y$ intervals of each bin are provided in Tab. 1. The L0 trigger asymmetry $\mathcal{A}_{\rm det}^{\rm TIS}$ is omitted from this table since it is assumed to be independent of the $ B ^+ $ kinematics. All uncertainties are statistical.

Systematic uncertainties on the $\mathcal{A}_{\rm prod}( B ^+ )$ measurement. The $\mathcal{A}_{ C P }^{D\pi}$ uncertainty varies between the kinematic bins and the range is indicated. All systematic uncertainties are considered to be correlated between kinematic bins.

The measured $\mathcal{A}_{\rm prod}$ values for each kinematic bin and integrated over the full kinematic acceptance, $2 < p_{\mathrm{ T}} < 30$ $ {\mathrm{ Ge V /}c}$ and $2.1 < y < 4.5$. The integrated values sum over the asymmetries in each bin, weighted by the values, $w$, in the second and fourth columns for the two centre-of-mass energies. The first uncertainty is the statistical uncertainty on $\mathcal{A}_{\rm raw}^{D\pi}$ and is uncorrelated between the kinematic bins. The second uncertainty is the statistical uncertainty on the detection asymmetry corrections and is taken to be correlated between the kinematic bins. The third uncertainty is purely systematic and is assumed to be correlated between bins.

Residual differences $\delta \mathcal{A}_{\rm det}^{K\pi}$ , measured in each bin of $B$ kinematics. These are the effective values after summing over centre-of-mass energies and averaging over the two $\overline{ D }{} {}^0$ decay modes.
