Beschreibung:
  • Results are reported for the B0s μ+μ branching fraction and effective lifetime and from a search for the decay B0 μ+μ. The analysis uses a data sample of proton-proton collisions accumulated by the CMS experiment in 2011, 2012, and 2016, with center-of-mass energies (integrated luminosities) of 7 TeV (5 fb1), 8 TeV (20 fb1), and 13 TeV (36 fb1). The branching fractions are determined by measuring event yields relative to B+ J/ψK+ decays (with J/ψ μ+μ), which results in the reduction of many of the systematic uncertainties. The decay B0s μ+μ is observed with a significance of 5.6 standard deviations. The branching fraction is measured to be B(B0s→μ+μ−)=[2.9±0.7(exp)±0.2(frag)]×10−9, where the first uncertainty combines the experimental statistical and systematic contributions, and the second is due to the uncertainty in the ratio of the B0s and the B+ fragmentation functions. No significant excess is observed for the decay B0 μ+μ, and an upper limit of ℬ(B0 → μ+μ) < 3.6 × 10−10 is obtained at 95% confidence level. The B0s μ+μ effective lifetime is measured to be τμ+μ−=1.70+0.61−0.44 ps. These results are consistent with standard model predictions.
