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...

| description | 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-candidate track isolation. A 'blind' analysis technique was also used for determination of optimal selection criteria for four variables. The results show that optimal set of selection criteria uses ∓80 MeV/c2 search window around B s0 mass, and I > 0.65. |
