The B → Kμ + μ − isospin asymmetry integrated over q 2 is negative, deviating from zero with over 4 σ significance. The B → K ∗ μ + μ − decay measurements are consistent with the Standard Model prediction of negligible isospin asymmetry. The observation of the decay B 0 → K S μ + μ − is reported with 5.7 σ significance. Assuming that the branching fraction of B 0 → K 0 μ + μ − is twice that of B 0 → K S μ + μ −, the branching fractions of B 0 → K 0 μ + μ − and B → K ∗+ μ + μ − are found to be (0.31−0.06) × 10−6 and (1.16 ± 0.19) × 10−6, respectively.20 p.application/pdfengcc by (c) LHCb Collaboration, 2012http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/HadronsGran Col·lisionador d'HadronsTeoria quànticaTeoria quàntica de campsRelativitat (Física)GravitacióHadronsLarge Hadron Collider (France and Switzerland)Quantum theoryQuantum field theoryRelativity (Physics)Gravitationinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article6196212014-10-17info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
