Abstract:
The angular distributions of the decay B0K0μ+μ\mathrm{B}^0 \to \mathrm{K}^{*0} \mu^ +\mu^- are studied using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 20.5 fb120.5~\mathrm{fb}^{-1} collected with the CMS detector at the LHC in proton-proton collisions at s=8 TeV\sqrt{s} = 8~\mathrm{TeV}. An angular analysis gives access to many physical observables, including P5P_5', which is of particular interest due to measurements from the LHCb Collaboration, that exibit potential discrepancy with the standard model. Based on a sample of 1397 signal events, the P1P_1 and P5P_5' angular parameters are determined as a function of the dimuon invariant mass squared. The measurement are in agreement with standard model predictions.
