寻找B --> K(*)nu nubar和不可见夸克偶素衰变
Search for B --> K(*) nu nubar and invisible quarkonium decays
摘要:
我们使用BaBar实验收集的471 × 10^6个BB对的数据样本,分别通过B->K(*)J/psi和B->K(*)psi(2S),搜索了改变味道的中性流衰变B-> K(*)nu nubar和不可见衰变J/psi->nu nubar和psi(2S)->nu nubar。我们完全重建了其中一个B介子在Uppermont(4S)->BB衰变中的强子衰变,并在其余事件中寻找B->K(*)nu nubar衰变。我们没有观察到显着超过背景信号衰减和报告的BR分支分数上限(B+->K+nu nubar)<3.7 x10^-5,BR(B0-> K0 nu nubar)< 8.1 x10^-5,BR(B+->K*+ nubar)<11.6 x10^-5,BR(B 0->K* 0 nu nubar)<9.3 x10^-5,BR(B->Knu nubar)和BR(B->K*nu nubar)的组合上限分别<3.2 x10^-5和<7.9 x10^-5,均为90%置信水平。对于不可见夸克偶素衰变,我们报告了在90%置信水平下的分支分数上限:BR(J/psi->nu nubar)<3.9 x10^-3,BR(psi(2S)->nu nubar)<15.5 x10^-3。利用强子重构得到的改进的运动学分辨率,我们还提供了B->K(*)nu nubar衰变在整个运动学谱上的部分分支分数极限。
英文摘要:
We search for the flavor-changing neutral-current decays B->K(*)nu nubar, and the invisible decays J/psi->nu nubar and psi(2S)->nu nubar via B->K(*)J/psi and B->K(*)psi(2S) respectively, using a data sample of 471 x10^6 BB pairs collected by the BaBar experiment. We fully reconstruct the hadronic decay of one of the B mesons in the Upsilon(4S)->BB decay, and search for the B->K(*)nu nubar decay in the rest of the event. We observe no significant excess of signal decays over background and report branching fraction upper limits of BR(B+->K+nu nubar)<3.7 x10^-5, BR(B0->K0nu nubar)< 8.1 x10^-5, BR(B+->K*+nu nubar)<11.6 x10^-5, BR(B0->K*0nu nubar)<9.3 x10^-5, and combined upper limits of BR(B->Knu nubar)<3.2 x10^-5 and BR(B->K*nu nubar)<7.9 x10^-5, all at the 90% confidence level. For the invisible quarkonium decays, we report branching fraction upper limits of BR(J/psi->nu nubar)<3.9 x10^-3 and BR(psi(2S)->nu nubar)<15.5 x10^-3 at the 90% confidence level. Using the improved kinematic resolution achieved from hadronic reconstruction, we also provide partial branching fraction limits for the B->K(*)nu nubar decays over the full kinematic spectrum.
