The admixture of charged and neutral B mesons produced at PEP-II2 are reconstructed by combining a dilepton pair with 10 different X-s final states. Extrapolating from a sum over these exclusive modes, we measure a lepton-flavor-averaged inclusive branching fraction B(B -> X(s)l(+)l(-)) = [6.73(-0.64)(+0.70)(stat)(-0.25)(+0.34)(exp syst) +/- 0.50(model syst)] x 10(-6) for m(l+l-)(2) > 0.1 GeV2/c(4). Restricting our analysis exclusively to final states from which a decaying B meson{\textquoteright}s flavor can be inferred, we additionally report measurements of the direct CP asymmetry A(CP) in bins of dilepton mass; over the full dilepton mass range, we find A(CP) = 0.04 +/- 0.11 +/- 0.01 for a leptonflavor-averaged sample.", optnote="WOS:000338034400002", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=1827), last updated on Thu, 24 Jul 2014 09:44:50 +0000", issn="0031-9007", doi="10.1103/PhysRevLett.112.211802", opturl="http://arxiv.org/abs/arXiv:1312.5364", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.112.211802", archivePrefix="arXiv", eprint="arXiv:1312.5364", language="English" }
