Measurements of the angular distributions in the decays BK(*)(+)(-) at CDF. Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • We report an indirect search for nonstandard model physics using the flavor-changing neutral current decays BK(*)(+)(-). We reconstruct the decays and measure their angular distributions, as a function of q(2)=M()(2)c(2), where M() is the dimuon mass, in pp collisions at s=1.96 TeV using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 6.8 fb(-1). The transverse polarization asymmetry A(T)(2) and the time-reversal-odd charge-and-parity asymmetry A(im) are measured for the first time, together with the K* longitudinal polarization fraction F(L) and the muon forward-backward asymmetry A(FB) for the decays B(0)K(*0)(+)(-) and B(+)K(*+)(+)(-). The BK*(+)(-) forward-backward asymmetry in the most sensitive kinematic regime, 1q(2)<6 GeV(2)/c(2), is measured to be A(FB)=0.29(-0.23)(+0.20)(stat)0.07(syst), the most precise result to date. No deviations from the standard model predictions are observed.
