Rare $B$ decays at CMS including $B$ di-muonic decays
The rare decays $B_s(B^0) \rightarrow \mu^+\mu^-$ are an excellent test of the flavor sector of the Standard Model and provide sensitivity to models with extended Higgs boson sectors. We report on searches for these decays with the CMS experiment using $pp$ collisions at a centre-of-mass energy...

Sumario: | The rare decays $B_s(B^0) \rightarrow \mu^+\mu^-$ are an excellent
test of the flavor sector of the Standard Model and provide sensitivity to
models with extended Higgs boson sectors. We report on searches for these
decays with the CMS experiment using $pp$ collisions at a centre-of-mass
energy $\sqrt{s}=7~\mathrm{TeV}$ collected in 2011. In both decays, the
number of events observed after all selection requirements is consistent
with the expectation from background plus standard model signal predictions.
The resulting upper limits on the branching fractions are
${\mathfrak B}(B^0_s \rightarrow \mu^+ \mu^-) < 7.7 \times 10^{-9}$ and
${\mathfrak B}(B^0_d \rightarrow \mu^+ \mu^-) < 1.8 \times 10^{-9}$
at 95\% confidence level. |
