Evidence for the decay B0s→ϕη'
Abstract
Using a dataset corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9 fb−1 collected in proton-proton collisions between 2011 and 2018 by the LHCb experiment, evidence is found for the decay B0s→ϕη' with $3.5 σ$ significance. The branching ratio relative to the B0s→ϕϕ decay is determined to be R=(3.56 ± 0.79± 0.18± 0.06)×10−2. This corresponds to a branching fraction, B(B0s→ϕη')=(0.66 ± 0.15 ± 0.03 ± 0.02) × 10−6 where, in both cases, the first uncertainty is statistical, the second systematic, and the third due to external branching fractions.
