Angular and CP-violation analyses of B-→D+l-l decays at hadron collider experiments

The B-→D+l-l branching fractions ratio between muon and tau lepton decay modes R(D) has shown intriguing discrepancies between the Standard Model prediction and measurements performed at BaBar, Belle, and LHCb experiments, a possible sign of beyond the Standard Model physics. Theoretical studies show how observables related to the B-→D+l-l differential decay distribution can be used to further constrain New Physics contributions, but their experimental measurements are lacking to date. This article proposes the measurement of B-→D+l-l angular and CP-violating observables at hadron collider experiments, by exploiting approximate reconstruction algorithms using information from detectable final-state particles only. The resolution on the phase space variables is studied using B-→D+l-l decays simulated in a forward detector geometry like LHCb. A method to correct the observable values for the reconstruction inaccuracies based on detector simulation is successfully tested on simulated data and the decrease in precision with respect to a perfect reconstruction is evaluated. The D+ longitudinal polarization fraction and the AT(2)CP-violating observable can be measured losing a factor of 2 and 5 in precision, respectively. The extraction of angular distributions from the template fit selecting B-→D+l-l decays and associated systematic uncertainties are also discussed.
