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 ${\rm B_s^0}\to\mu^+\mu^-$ and ${\rm B}^0\to\mu^+\mu^-$ branching fractions for the runs of the LHC at $\sqrt{s}$ = 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 ${\rm B^0}\to\mu^+\mu^-$ and ${\rm B_s^0}\to\mu^+\mu^-$ decays, which will allow stringent tests of the Standard Model. At 3000 fb-1 it will be possible to measure the ${\rm B^0}\to\mu^+\mu^-$ with more than 5 $\sigma$ significance.

Projected sensitivity

Number of expected events for ${\rm B_s^0}\to\mu^+\mu^-$ and ${\rm B}^0\to\mu^+\mu^-$ at different integrated luminosity values. We also report the expected uncertainty in the branching fraction measurement for the ${\rm B_s^0}\to\mu^+\mu^-$ and ${\rm B}^0\to\mu^+\mu^-$, the range of significance of ${\rm B}^0\to\mu^+\mu^-$ (the range indicates the $\pm1\sigma$ of the distribution of significance), and the relative uncertainty on the ${\rm B}^0$ to ${\rm B_s^0}$ branching fractions.

Fit results of the invariant mass distribution for 300 fb-1 and 3000 fb-1. The improvement in the mass resolution for the 3000 fb-1 projection is expected from an improved inner tracker system and removing endcap candidates.
