Study of the rare B-meson decays with the ATLAS experiment
Biroš, Marek ; Řezníček, Pavel (advisor) ; Scheirich, Daniel (referee)
Rare B0 d → K∗ µ− µ+ decay is one of physics channels testing Stan- dard Model predictions at the ATLAS experiment. This work provides input to the future analysis of this rare decay in the data-taking period of Run 2. Speci- fically, in the work we were searching for the descriptions of the distributions of reconstructed invariant masses of the B and K∗ mesons and of the distribution of the decay angles for the signal decay and expected background processes. For the procedure of finding optimal description, a maximal likelihood method of fit was used. Search for the probability density functions was performed on simulated data containing signal decay and main the background channels (decays, which are misinterpreted by the detector like our signal decay). The background decays included Bs → φ(K+ K− )µ+ µ− , Λb → Λ(1520)(pK− )µ+ µ− and Λb → pK− µ+ µ− . The signal data were contamined with events, when detector misidentified the kaon and pion from the K∗ meson decay, which lead to modifications of the fit- ted parameters. These cases were separated and treated as special background process. In addition to the simulations, we analyzed the combinatorial background from the real data of Run 1, though only the angular distribution. Invariant mas- ses were not analyzed for their simplicity. We also show...
