Search for the decay B0 → ϕμ+μ−
Abstract A search for the decay B0 → ϕμ+μ− is performed using proton-proton collisions at centre-of-mass energies of 7, 8, and 13 TeV collected by the LHCb experiment and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9 fb−1. No evidence for the B0 → ϕμ+μ− decay i...

A search for the decay B0 → ϕμ+μ− is performed using proton-proton collisions at centre-of-mass energies of 7, 8, and 13 TeV collected by the LHCb experiment and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9 fb−1. No evidence for the B0 → ϕμ+μ− decay is found and an upper limit on the branching fraction, excluding the ϕ and charmonium regions in the dimuon spectrum, of 4.4 × 10−3 at a 90% credibility level, relative to that of the
