Angular analysis of the decay B⁰ → K*⁰ μ⁺ μ⁻ from pp collisions at √s = 8 TeV

The angular distributions and the differential branching fraction of the decay B⁰ → K*(892)⁰ μ⁺ μ⁻ are studied using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 20.5 fb⁻¹ collected with the CMS detector at the LHC in pp collisions at s=8 TeV. From 1430 signal decays, the forward-backward asymm...

520 |a The angular distributions and the differential branching fraction of the decay B⁰ → K*(892)⁰ μ⁺ μ⁻ are studied using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 20.5 fb⁻¹ collected with the CMS detector at the LHC in pp collisions at s=8 TeV. From 1430 signal decays, the forward-backward asymmetry of the muons, the K*(892)⁰ longitudinal polarization fraction, and the differential branching fraction are determined as a function of the dimuon invariant mass squared. The measurements are among the most precise to date and are in good agreement with standard model predictions.
