Search for the B s 0 → μ+μ−γ decay

Abstract A search for the fully reconstructed B s 0 → μ+μ−γ decay is performed at the LHCb experiment using proton-proton collisions at s = 13 TeV corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.4 fb−1. No significant signal is found and upper limits on the branching fraction in intervals of the dimu...

Description
Summary:Abstract A search for the fully reconstructed B s 0 → μ+μ−γ decay is performed at the LHCb experiment using proton-proton collisions at s = 13 TeV corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.4 fb−1. No significant signal is found and upper limits on the branching fraction in intervals of the dimuon mass are set B B s 0 → μ + μ − γ < 4.2 × 10 − 8 , m μ + μ − ∈ 2 m μ 1.70 GeV / c 2 , B B s 0 → μ + μ − γ < 7.7 × 10 − 8 , m μ + μ − ∈ 1.70, 2.88 GeV / c 2 , B B s 0 → μ + μ − γ < 4.2 × 10 − 8 , m μ + μ − ∈ 3.92 m B s 0 GeV / c 2 , at 95% confidence level. Additionally, upper limits are set on the branching fraction in the [2mμ, 1.70] GeV/c2 dimuon mass region excluding the contribution from the intermediate ϕ(1020) meson, and in the region combining all dimuon-mass intervals.
