Since the detector resolution in + invariant mass is comparable to the B0 s -B0 mass di ff erence, a single fi t determines the signal yields for both decay modes. This results in a measurement of the branching fraction B (B0 s ! +) = 3 : 2 +1:1 10 and an upper limit B (B0 ! +) < 4 : 3 10 at 95{\%} con fi dence level. The result is combined with the Run 1 ATLAS result, yielding B (B0 s ! +) = 2 : 8 +0:8 10 and B (B0 ! +) < 2 : 1 10 at 95{\%} con fi dence level. The combined result is consistent with the Standard Model prediction within 2.4 standard deviations in the B (B0 ! +)B (B0 s ! +) plane.", optnote="WOS:000465030500002", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=3991), last updated on Fri, 03 May 2019 09:26:48 +0000", issn="1029-8479", doi="10.1007/JHEP04(2019)098", opturl="https://arxiv.org/abs/1812.03017", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1007/JHEP04(2019)098", language="English" }
