Measurement of the B 0 s  → ϕϕ branching fraction and search for the decay B 0 → ϕϕ

Using a dataset corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.0 fb−1 collected in pp collisions at centre-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV, the B 0 s  → ϕϕ branching fraction is measured to be B(B0s→ϕϕ)=(1.84±0.05(stat)±0.07(syst)±0.11(fs/fd)±0.12(norm))×10−5, where f s /f d represents the ratio of...
