Abstract

A measurement of the ratio of the branching fractions of the B+ → K+ μ+ μ− and B+ → K+ e+ e− decays is presented using proton-proton collision data, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.0 fb^−1, recorded with the LHCb experiment at center-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV. The value of the ratio of branching fractions for the dilepton invariant mass squared range 1 < q^2 < 6 GeV^2/c^4 is measured to be 0.745{−0.074}{+0.090}(stat) ± 0.036(syst). This value is the most precise measurement of the ratio of branching fractions to date and is compatible with the standard model prediction within 2.6 standard deviations.
