CMS reach in Bs to mu+mu- and B0 to mu+mu- branching fractions for the new LHC runs
Abstract
We estimate the possible reach on the

and

branching fractions for the runs of the LHC at

= 14
TeV
and for the integrated luminosities of 100, 300, and 3000 fb
-1. With the increased data sample sizes it will be possible to reduce both systematic and statistical errors leading to high precision measurements of
branching fractions of

and

decays,
which will allow stringent tests of the Standard Model. At 3000 fb
-1 it will be possible to measure the

with more than 5

significance.
Projected sensitivity
Number of expected events for

and

, the range of significance of

(the range indicates the

of the distribution of significance), and the relative uncertainty on the

to

branching fractions.
