Measurement of the forward-backward asymmetry in the B→K(*) μ+μ- decay and first observation of the Bs0→μ+μ- decay

We reconstruct the rare decays B+→K+μ +μ-, B0→K*(892)0μ +μ-, and Bs0→(1020)μ+μ - in a data sample corresponding to 4.4fb-1 collected in pp̄ collisions at √s=1.96TeV by the CDF II detector at the Tevatron Collider. Using 121±16 B+→K+μ +μ- and 101±12 B0→K*0μ +μ- decays we report the branching ratios....
