Analysis Strategy LHCb-PAPER-2017-001

In a Nutshell

I Same strategy as for the Run 1 CMS+LHCb analysisI Selection based on: BDT + particle identification (PID)

→ BDT output is flat for signal, calibrated on B0 → K+π−

→ BDT output peaks towards zero for background, calibrated on mass sidebands

I Fit the mµ+µ− mass in bins of BDT output

Improvements

I Larger data sample: 3 fb−1 Run 1 + 1.4 fb−1 of Run 2

I New and improved signal isolation

I New and improved BDT: 50% better background rejection

I Improved PID requirements: 50% less B → h+h− background

Normalisation

I Two control channels: B+ → J/ψK+ and B0 → K+π−

I Dependence of hadronisation fraction fs/fd on√s evaluated comparing

B+ → J/ψK+ and B0s → J/ψφ
