A measurement of the CP asymmetry in B+ → K+ μ+ μ− decays is presented using pp collision data, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0 fb^−1, recorded by the LHCb experiment during 2011 at a center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV. The measurement is performed in seven bins of μ+ μ− invariant mass squared in the range 0.05 < q^2 < 22.00 GeV^2/c^4, excluding the J/ψ and ψ(2S) resonance regions. Production and detection asymmetries are corrected for using the B+ → J/ψ K+ decay as a control mode. Averaged over all the bins, the CP asymmetry is found to be A_{CP} = 0.000 ± 0.033(stat) ± 0.005(syst) ± 0.007 (J/ψ K), where the third uncertainty is due to the CP asymmetry of the control mode. This is consistent with the standard model prediction.

Abstract

A measurement of the CP asymmetry in B+ → K+ μ+ μ− decays is presented using pp collision data, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0 fb^−1, recorded by the LHCb experiment during 2011 at a center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV. The measurement is performed in seven bins of μ+ μ− invariant mass squared in the range 0.05 < q^2 < 22.00 GeV^2/c^4, excluding the J/ψ and ψ(2S) resonance regions. Production and detection asymmetries are corrected for using the B+ → J/ψ K+ decay as a control mode. Averaged over all the bins, the CP asymmetry is found to be A_{CP} = 0.000 ± 0.033(stat) ± 0.005(syst) ± 0.007 (J/ψ K), where the third uncertainty is due to the CP asymmetry of the control mode. This is consistent with the standard model prediction.
