The polarization of photons produced in radiative ${B}_{s}^{0}$ decays is studied for the first time. The data are recorded by the LHCb experiment in $pp$ collisions corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $3\text{ }\text{ }{\mathrm{fb}}^{\ensuremath{-}1}$ at center-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV. A time-dependent analysis of the ${B}_{s}^{0}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\ensuremath{\phi}\ensuremath{\gamma}$ decay …
