Abstract: (Springer)
A measurement of the differential branching fraction of the decay B → K(892) μ μ is presented together with a determination of the S-wave fraction of the K π system in the decay B → Kπ μ μ. The analysis is based on pp-collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3 fb collected with the LHCb experiment. The measurements are made in bins of the invariant mass squared of the dimuon system, q. Precise theoretical predictions for the differential branching fraction of B → K(892) μ μ decays are available for the q region 1.1 < q < 6.0 GeV /c. In this q region, for the Kπ invariant mass range 796 < m < 996 MeV/c, the S-wave fraction of the Kπ system in B → Kπ μ μ decays is found to be and the differential branching fraction of B → K(892) μ μ decays is determined to be Note:
