Abstract: (Springer)
A measurement of the differential branching fraction of the decay B0^{0} → K^{∗}(892)0^{0} μ+^{+} μ^{−} is presented together with a determination of the S-wave fraction of the K+^{+} π^{−} system in the decay B0^{0} → K+^{+}π^{−} μ+^{+} μ^{−}. The analysis is based on pp-collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3 fb1^{−1} collected with the LHCb experiment. The measurements are made in bins of the invariant mass squared of the dimuon system, q2^{2}. Precise theoretical predictions for the differential branching fraction of B0^{0} → K^{∗}(892)0^{0} μ+^{+} μ^{−} decays are available for the q2^{2} region 1.1 < q2^{2} < 6.0 GeV2^{2} /c4^{4}. In this q2^{2} region, for the K+^{+}π^{−} invariant mass range 796 < mKπ_{Kπ} < 996 MeV/c2^{2}, the S-wave fraction of the K+^{+}π^{−} system in B0^{0} → K+^{+}π^{−} μ+^{+} μ^{−} decays is found to be FS=0.101±0.017(stat)±0.009(syst), {F}_{\mathrm{S}}=0.101\pm 0.017\left(\mathrm{stat}\right)\pm 0.009\left(\mathrm{syst}\right), and the differential branching fraction of B0^{0} → K^{∗}(892)0^{0} μ+^{+} μ^{−} decays is determined to be dB/dq2=(0.3920.019+0.020(stat)±0.010(syst)±0.027(norm))×107c4/GeV2. \mathrm{d}\mathrm{\mathcal{B}}/\mathrm{d}{q}^2=\left(0.{392}_{-0.019}^{+0.020}\left(\mathrm{stat}\right)\pm 0.010\left(\mathrm{syst}\right)\pm 0.027\left(\mathrm{norm}\right)\right)\times 1{0}^{-7}{c}^4/{\mathrm{GeV}}^2.
