The measured branching fraction is B ( B 0 → ¯¯¯¯ K * 0 K 0 ) + B ( B 0 → K * 0 ¯¯¯¯ K 0 ) = ( 0.2 + 0.9 + 0.1 − 0.8 − 0.3 ) × 10 − 6 . We obtain the following upper limit for the branching fraction at 90% confidence level: B ( B 0 → ¯¯¯¯ K * 0 K 0 ) + B ( B 0 → K * 0 ¯¯¯¯ K 0 ) < 1.9 × 10 − 6 . We use our result to constrain the standard model prediction for the deviation of the C P asymmetry in B 0 → ϕ K 0 from sin  2 β .12 p.application/pdfeng(c) American Physical Society, 2006Física de partículesExperimentsMesons (Física nuclear)Particle physicsExperimentsMesons (Nuclear physics)info:eu-repo/semantics/article5500722019-04-04info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
