Abstract

A measurement of the differential branching fraction of the decay B0 → K∗(892)0 μ+ μ− is presented together with a determination of the S-wave fraction of the K+ π− system in the decay B0 → K+ π− μ+ μ−. The analysis is based on pp-collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3 fb^−1 collected with the LHCb experiment. The measurements are made in bins of the invariant mass squared of the dimuon system, q^2. Precise theoretical predictions for the differential branching fraction of B0 → K∗(892)0 μ+ μ− decays are available for the q^2 region 1.1 < q^2< 6.0 GeV^2/c^4. In this q^2 region, for the K+ π− invariant mass range 796 < m_Kπ < 996 MeV/c^2, the S-wave fraction of the K+ π− system in B0 → K+ π− μ+ μ− decays is found to be F_S = 0.101 ± 0.017(stat) ± 0.009(syst), and the differential branching fraction of B0 → K∗(892)0 μ+ μ− decays is determined to be dB/dq^2 = (0.392{−0.019}{+0.020}(stat) ± 0.010(syst) ± 0.027(norm)) × 10^−7 c^4/GeV^2. The differential branching fraction measurements presented are the most precise to date and are found to be in agreement with Standard Model predictions.
