Abstract

The B→ K^{∗ 0}K¯ ^{∗ 0} and Bs0→K∗0K¯∗0 decays are studied using proton-proton collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3 fb⁻¹. An untagged and timeintegrated amplitude analysis of B_(s) ⁰ → (K⁺π⁻)(K⁻π⁺) decays in two-body invariant mass regions of 150 MeV/c² around the K^∗0 mass is performed. A stronger longitudinal polarisation fraction in the B→ K^{∗ 0}K¯ ^{∗ 0} decay, f_L = 0.724 ± 0.051 (stat) ± 0.016 (syst), is observed as compared to f_L = 0.240 ± 0.031 (stat) ± 0.025 (syst) in the Bs0→K∗0K¯∗0 decay. The ratio of branching fractions of the two decays is measured and used to determine ℬ(B0→K∗0K¯∗0)=(8.0±0.9(stat)±0.4(syst))×10−7.

N2 - The B→ K∗ 0K¯ ∗ 0 and Bs0→K∗0K¯∗0 decays are studied using proton-proton collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3 fb−1. An untagged and timeintegrated amplitude analysis of B(s) 0 → (K+π−)(K−π+) decays in two-body invariant mass regions of 150 MeV/c2 around the K∗0 mass is performed. A stronger longitudinal polarisation fraction in the B→ K∗ 0K¯ ∗ 0 decay, fL = 0.724 ± 0.051 (stat) ± 0.016 (syst), is observed as compared to fL = 0.240 ± 0.031 (stat) ± 0.025 (syst) in the Bs0→K∗0K¯∗0 decay. The ratio of branching fractions of the two decays is measured and used to determine ℬ(B0→K∗0K¯∗0)=(8.0±0.9(stat)±0.4(syst))×10−7.
