Test of lepton flavor universality with 𝐵+ → 𝐾+ 𝜋+ 𝜋− ℓ+ ℓ− decays
The first test of lepton flavor universality between muons and electrons using 𝐵+→𝐾+𝜋+𝜋−ℓ+ℓ− (ℓ =𝑒, 𝜇) decays is presented. The measurement is performed with data from proton-proton collisions collected by the LHCb experiment at center-of-mass energies of 7, 8, and 13 TeV, corresponding to an in...

| Zusammenfassung: | The first test of lepton flavor universality between muons and electrons using 𝐵+→𝐾+𝜋+𝜋−ℓ+ℓ− (ℓ =𝑒, 𝜇) decays is presented. The measurement is performed with data from proton-proton collisions collected by the LHCb experiment at center-of-mass energies of 7, 8, and 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9 fb−1. The ratio of branching fractions between 𝐵+→𝐾+𝜋+𝜋−𝑒+𝑒− and 𝐵+→𝐾+𝜋+𝜋−𝜇+𝜇− decays is measured in the dilepton invariant-mass-squared range 1.1<𝑞2<7.0 GeV2/𝑐4 and is found to be 𝑅−1𝐾𝜋𝜋=1.31+0.18−0.17(stat) +0.12−0.09(syst), in agreement with the standard model prediction. The first observation of the 𝐵+ →𝐾+𝜋+𝜋−𝑒+𝑒− decay is also reported. |
