  1. Suppressed Decays of Bs Mesons Olga Norniella UIUC On behalf of the CDF collaboration ICHEP, July 22-28, 2010

  2. d d K*0 Vcs s s s K*0 B0 Vcd d c Bs W+ J/ c b c W+ J/ c b Motivation • Most of the Bs suppressed decays have not been observed yet •  Bs J/K*(892) , Bs  J/KS, BsJ/f0, … • Only difference is the Vcd contribution vs the Vcs • All of these modes have the possibility of providing further information on lifetime difference and CP asymmetries in Bs decays. •  Bs  J/ KS is a CP eigenstate, measurement of the lifetime • in this  mode is a direct measurement of Bs (Heavy) •  Bs J/ KS can be used to extract the angle  of unitary triangle • (R. Fleischer, Eur.Phys. J.C10:299-306,1999) •  Bs  J/ K* contains an admixture of CP final states, an angular • analysis can be done to extract sin(2s ) (complementary to Bs J/)

  3. B production at Tevatron • Tevatron is a source of all B-hadron species: Bd, Bu, Bc, Bsand Λb •  At CDF the σb= 29.4 ±0.6 ±6.2 μb (|η| < 1) • Some of them are not produced at the B-factories •  Bs, Bc, B**, Bs**, b, b, b,.. • More decays are accessible thanks to the amount of luminosity collected •  CDF has more than 7.5 fb-1 on tape • CDF has excellent mass resolution, vertex resolution and trigger system for flavor physics

  4. Br(BsJ/ h) N(BsJ/ h) fd = * * Arel Br(B0 J/ h) N(B0J/ h) fs Measurements • Branching ratio measurement • Analysis strategy •  Reconstruct BJ/ K* and BJ/ KS from a large sample of di-muon • (J/  + - decays ) •  Apply specific optimization cuts to remove backgrounds •  Likelihood fit to the invariant mass distribution to get the ratio of yields where h  KS or K* Branching ratio of Bs relative to B0 Fragmentation fractions (from CDF result) Relative Acceptance (from MC) Yield of Bs and B0 events (from data)

  5. J/  J/     K KS c ~ 430 m c ~ 460 m c ~ 2.5 cm B  B K*  - - p p p p Reconstruction • Data from di-muon triggers •  J/ triggers , mainly looking for:  two low pT muons : pT>1.5 GeV/c2  two muons have opposite charge   (between 2 muons) <120 degrees • Reconstruction

  6. BJ/ KS Analysis • Advantage: KS has a long life (c~ 2.5 cm) and • is a narrow resonance • easy to get a pure KS sample • Disadvantage: expecting small Bs signal • important to suppress combinatorial • background contribution • A Neural Network is used to discriminate between signal and combinatorial background  22 different kinematic variables pT , d0, c, helicity angles, mass,..  Trained using Bs MC for Signal and data sideband for BKG Optimization procedure geared towards maximizing efficiency/(1.5 + B)

  7. Fit contributions for BJ/ KS • The invariant mass distribution is fitted with binned Likelihood Signal B0 and Bs decays Background  Partial reconstruction multibody decays where , K or  missing  Combinatorial background  bJ/ contribution Negligible after specific cut 3 Gaussian template extracted from B0 simulation Use m(Bs)-m(B0) for extrapolation Argus function convoluted with a Gaussian Exponential function

  9. BJ/ K* Analysis • Disadvantage: K*is not a long-lived particle and is a wider resonance •  more background contributions to deal with • Advantage: expecting bigger Bs signal •  not necessary sophisticated tools to remove combinatorial background • Rectangular cuts optimization to maximize efficiency/(1.5 + B) • pT (B) >6 GeV/c • Flight distance Lxy (B) >300 m • Impact parameter dxy (B) < 50 m • Fit vertex Probability (B) >0.01 • pT (K+, -) >1.5 GeV/c

  10. Fit contributions for BJ/ K* • Same contributions than in the BJ/ KS analysis plus additional backgrounds Signal B0 and Bs decays • Background •  Partial reconstruction • Combinatorial background • BsJ/ contribution • BsJ/f0 contribution last one is negligible BsJ/  modeled by 2 Gaussians template Extracted from simulation but contribution constrained using data
