Search for Bs0 → μ+μ - and Bd0 → μ+μ - decays in pp̄ collisions at √s = 1.96 TeV

The decay mechanisms of Bs0 → μ +μ- and Bd0 → μ +μ- in pp̄ collisions were investigated. For discrimination of the decays from background events, four variables were used such as invariant mass of muon pair, B-candidate proper decay length, opening angle between B-hadron flight direction and B-candi...
