Dispersive analysis ofKLμ3andKLe3scalar and vector form factors using KTeV data
Using the published KTeV samples of K{sub L} {yields} {pi}{sup {+-}}e{sup {-+}}{nu} and K{sub L} {yields} {pi}{sup {+-}}{mu}{sup {-+}}{nu} decays, we perform a reanalysis of the scalar and vector form factors based on the dispersive parameterization. We obtain phase space integrals I{sub K}{sup e} = 0.15446 {+-} 0.00025 and I{sub K}{sup {mu}} = 0.10219 {+-} 0.00025. For the scalar form factor parameterization, the only free parameter is the normalized form factor value at the Callan-Treiman point (C); our best fit results in ln C = 0.1915 {+-} 0.0122. We also study the sensitivity of C to different parametrizations of the vector form factor. The results for the phase space integrals and C a…
Search forBs0→μ+μ−andB0→μ+μ−Decays with CDF II
A search has been performed for B{sub s}{sup 0} {yields} {mu}{sup +}{mu}{sup -} and B{sup 0} {yields} {mu}{sup +}{mu}{sup -} decays using 7 fb{sup -1} of integrated luminosity collected by the CDF II detector at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. The observed number of B{sup 0} candidates is consistent with background-only expectations and yields an upper limit on the branching fraction of {Beta}(B{sup 0} {yields} {mu}{sup +}{mu}{sup -}) < 6.0 x 10{sup -9} at 95% confidence level. We observe an excess of B{sub s}{sup 0} candidates. The probability that the background processes alone could produce such an excess or larger is 0.27%. The probability that the combination of background and the expe…
