Abstract

We present a study of B0s decays to the CP-odd final state J/ψf0(980) with J/ψ→μ+μ− and f0(980)→π+π−. Using pp collision data with an integrated luminosity of 3.8  fb−1 collected by the CDF II detector at the Tevatron we measure a B0s lifetime of τ(B0s→J/ψf0(980))=1.70+0.12−0.11(stat)±0.03(syst)ps. This is the first measurement of the B0s lifetime in a decay to a CP eigenstate and corresponds in the standard model to the lifetime of the heavy B0s eigenstate. We also measure the product of branching fractions of B0s→J/ψf0(980) and f0(980)→π+π− relative to the product of branching fractions of B0s→J/ψϕ and ϕ→K+K− to be Rf0/ϕ=0.257±0.020(stat)±0.014(syst), which is the most precise determination of this quantity to date.

I. INTRODUCTION

In the standard model, the mass and flavor eigenstates of theB0smeson are not identical. This gives rise to particle—

antiparticle oscillations [1], which proceed in the standard model through second-order weak interaction processes, and whose phenomenology depends on the Cabibbo- Kobayashi-Maskawa quark mixing matrix. The time ðtÞ evolution ofB0s mesons is approximately governed by the Schro¨dinger equation

An important feature of theB0s system is the nonzero matrix element s12 representing the partial width ofB0s andB0s decays to common final states which translates into a nonzero decay width differencesof the two mass eigenstates through the relation

s¼Ls Hs ¼2js12jcoss; (4) wheres¼argðMs12=s12Þ. The phases describes CP violation inB0s mixing. In the standard models is pre- dicted to be 0:220:06 [2,3]. The small value of the phasescauses the mass andCPeigenstates to coincide to a good approximation. Thus the measurement of the life- time in aCPeigenstate provides directly the lifetime of the corresponding mass eigenstate. If new physics is present, it could enhances to large values, a scenario which is not excluded by current experimental constraints. In such a

case the correspondence between mass andCPeigenstates does not hold anymore and the measured lifetime will correspond to the weighted average of the lifetimes of the two mass eigenstates with weights dependent on the size of theCP-violating phases[4]. Thus a measurement of theB0s lifetime in a final state which is aCPeigenstate provides, in combination with other measurements, valu- able information on the decay width difference s and theCPviolation inB0s mixing.

One of the most powerful measurements to constrain a new physics contribution to the phase s is the measure- ment of CP violation in the decay B0s!J=c with !KþK. The decay B0s !J=c has a mixture of the CP-even and -odd components in the final state and an angular analysis is needed to separate them [5]. In the standard model,CPviolation in the decayB0s !J=cis given by s¼arg½ðVtsVtbÞ=ðVcsVcb Þ. New physics ef- fects in B0s mixing would shift s and 2s from the standard model value by the same amount. A sufficiently copious B0s !J=cf0 signal withf0 !þ, wheref0 stands for f0ð980Þ, and B0s flavor identified at production can be used to measureswithout the need of an angular analysis [6] as J=cf0 is a pureCP-odd final state. Since theB0sis a spin-0 particle and the decay productsJ=c and f0 have quantum numbers JPC¼1 and 0þþ, respec- tively, the final state has an orbital angular momentum of L¼1leading to aCPeigenvalue ofð1ÞL¼ 1. Further interest in the decayB0s!J=cf0 arises from its possible contribution to an S-wave component in the B0s! J=cKþK decay if thef0 decays toKþK. This contri- bution could help to resolve an ambiguity in the sand s values determined in the B0s !J=c analyses.

Because it was neglected in the first tagged B0s !J=c results [7,8], each of which showed an approximately1:5 deviation from the standard model, it was argued that the omission may significantly bias the results [9,10].

However, using the formalism in Ref. [11], the latest preliminary CDF measurement [12] has shown that the

S-wave interference effect is negligible at the current level of precision.

In Refs. [2,3] the decay width difference in the standard model is predicted to be SMs ¼ ð0:0870:021Þps1 and the ratio of the average B0s lifetime, s¼2=

where s¼1=s, together with the world average B0 lifetime, d¼ ð1:5250:009Þ ps[13], we find the theo- retically derived values Hs ¼ ð1:6300:030Þps and Ls ¼ ð1:4270:023Þ ps.

While no direct measurements ofB0slifetimes in decays to pureCPeigenstates are available, various experimental results allow for the determination of the lifetimes of the two mass eigenstates. Measurements sensitive to these lifetimes are the angular analysis ofB0s !J=c decays and the branching fraction ofB0s !DðÞþs DðÞs , which can be complemented by measurements of the B0s lifetime in flavor specific final states. The combination of available measurements yields Hs ¼ ð1:5440:041Þps and Ls ¼ ð1:407þ0:0280:026Þps [14]. From CDF measurements we can infer the two lifetimes from the result of the angular analysis of B0s!J=c decays. The latest preliminary result [12], that is not yet included in the above average, yields Hs ¼ ð1:6220:068Þ ps and Ls ¼ ð1:446 0:035Þ psassuming standard modelCPviolation.

Compared to measurements usingB0s !J=cdecays, lifetime and future CP violation measurements in the B0s !J=cf0decay suffer from a lower branching fraction.

Based on a comparison to Dþs meson decays Ref. [9]

makes a prediction for the branching fraction of B0s !J=cf0 decay relative to theB0s!J=cdecay,

Rf0=¼BðB0s!J=cf0Þ BðB0s!J=cÞ

Bðf0!þÞ Bð!KþKÞ; (7) to be approximately 0.2. The CLEO experiment estimates Rf0=¼0:420:11from a measurement of semileptonic Dþs decays [15]. A theoretical prediction based on QCD factorization yields a range ofRf0=between 0.27 and 0.58 [16]. With the world average branching fraction for the B0s !J=cdecay ofð1:30:4Þ 103 and the branch- ing fraction off0 !þin the region between 0.5–0.8, predictions of BðB0s!J=cf0Þ [17,18] translate into a wide range ofRf0=values of approximately 0.1–0.5.

The first experimental search was performed by the Belle experiment [19]. Their preliminary result did not yield a signal and they extract an upper limit on the branching fraction ofBðB0s!J=cf0ÞBðf0!þÞ<

experiment reported the first observation of the decay B0s!J=cf0 [20] with a relative branching fraction of Rf0=¼0:252þ0:0460:032ðstatÞþ0:0270:033ðsystÞ. Shortly after the LHCb result was presented, the Belle collaboration an- nounced their result of an updated analysis using 121:4 fb1 ofð5SÞdata [21]. They observe a significant B0s!J=cf0 signal and measure BðB0s !J=cf0Þ Bðf0!þÞ ¼ ð1:16þ0:31þ0:15þ0:26

Using their preliminary measure- ment of the B0s !J=c branching fraction [22], and assuming that the uncertainty on the number of produced BðÞ0s BðÞ0s pairs is fully correlated for the two measure- ments, this translates into Rf0=¼0:206þ0:0550:034ðstatÞ 0:052ðsystÞ. A preliminary measurement of the D0 experi- ment yieldsRf0=¼0:2100:032ðstatÞ0:036ðsystÞ[23].

In this paper we present a measurement of the ratio Rf0=of the branching fraction of theB0s!J=cf0decay relative to the B0s!J=c decay and the first measure- ment of theB0slifetime in a decay to a pureCPeigenstate.

We use data collected by the CDF II detector from February 2002 until October 2008. The data correspond to an integrated luminosity of3:8 fb1.

This paper is organized as follows: In Sec.IIwe describe the CDF II detector together with the online data selection, followed by the candidate selection in Sec.III. SectionIV describes details of the measurement of the ratioRf0=of branching fractions of the B0s!J=cf0 decay relative to theB0s!J=cdecay while Sec.Vdiscusses the lifetime measurement. We finish with a short discussion of the results and conclusions in Sec.VI.

II. CDF II DETECTOR AND TRIGGER Among the components of the CDF II detector [24] the tracking and muon detection systems are most relevant for this analysis. The tracking system lies within a uniform, axial magnetic field of 1.4 T strength. The inner tracking volume hosts seven layers of double-sided silicon micro- strip detectors up to a radius of 28 cm [25]. An additional layer of single-sided silicon is mounted directly on the beam pipe at a radius of 1.5 cm, providing an excellent resolution of the impact parameter d0, defined as the distance of closest approach of the track to the interaction point in the transverse plane. The silicon tracker provides a pseudorapidity coverage up tojj 2:0. The remainder of the tracking volume up to a radius of 137 cm is occupied by an open-cell drift chamber [26]. The drift chamber pro- vides up to 96 measurements along the track with half of them being axial and other half stereo. Tracks with jj 1:0pass the full radial extent of the drift chamber.

The integrated tracking system achieves a transverse mo- mentum resolution ofðpTÞ=p2T 0:07%ðGeV=cÞ1and an impact parameter resolution of ðd0Þ 35m for MEASUREMENT OF BRANCHING RATIO ANDBs . . . PHYSICAL REVIEW D84,052012 (2011)

tracks with a transverse momentum greater than2 GeV=c.

The tracking system is surrounded by electromagnetic and hadronic calorimeters, which cover the full pseudorapidity range of the tracking system [27–30]. We detect muons in three sets of multiwire drift chambers. The central muon detector has a pseudorapidity coverage of jj<0:6[31]

and the calorimeters in front of it provide about 5.5 inter- action lengths of material. The minimum transverse mo- mentum to reach this set of muon chambers is about 1:4 GeV=c. The second set of chambers covers the same range in, but is located behind an additional 60 cm of steel absorber, which corresponds to about three inter- action lengths. It has a higher transverse momentum threshold of2 GeV=c, but provides a cleaner muon iden- tification. The third set of muon detectors extends the coverage to a region of 0:6<jj<1:0 and is shielded by about six interaction lengths of material.

A three-level trigger system is used for the online event selection. The trigger component most important for this analysis is the extremely fast tracker [32], which at the first level groups hits from the drift chamber into tracks in the plane transverse to the beamline. Candidate events con- taining J=c !þ decays are selected by a dimuon trigger [24] which requires two tracks of opposite charge found by the extremely fast tracker that match to track segments in the muon chambers and have a dimuon invari- ant mass in the range 2.7 to4:0 GeV=c2.

III. RECONSTRUCTION AND CANDIDATE SELECTION

A. Reconstruction

In the offline reconstruction we first combine two muon candidates of opposite charge to form aJ=ccandidate. We consider all tracks that can be matched to a track segment in the muon detectors as muon candidates. TheJ=c can- didate is subject to a kinematic fit with a vertex constraint.

We then combine theJ=c candidate with two other oppo- sitely charged tracks that are assumed to be pions and have an invariant mass between 0.85 and1:2 GeV=c2to form a B0s !J=cf0 candidate. In the final step a kinematic fit of the B0s!J=cf0 candidate is performed. In this fit we constrain all four tracks to originate from a common vertex, and the two muons forming the J=c are con- strained to have an invariant mass equal to the world averageJ=c mass [13]. In a similar way we also recon- struct B0s !J=c candidates using pairs of tracks of opposite charge assumed to be kaons and having an invari- ant mass between 1.009 and 1:029 GeV=c2. During the reconstruction we place minimal requirements on the track quality, the quality of the kinematic fit, and the transverse momentum of the B0s candidate to ensure high-quality measurements of properties for each candidate. For the branching fraction measurement we add a requirement which aims at removing a large fraction of short-lived background. We require the decay time of theB0scandidate

in its own rest frame, the proper decay time, to be larger than 3 times its uncertainty. This criterion is not imposed in the lifetime analysis since it would bias the lifetime distribution. The proper decay time is determined by the expression

t¼Lxy mðB0sÞ

c pT (8)

where Lxy is the flight distance projected onto the B0s momentum in the plane transverse to the beamline,pT is the transverse momentum of the given candidate, and mðB0sÞ is the reconstructed mass of theB0s candidate. The uncertainty on the proper decay timetis estimated for each candidate by propagating track parameter and primary vertex uncertainties into an uncertainty onLxy. The proper decay time resolution is typically of the order of 0.1 ps.

B. Selection

The selection is performed using a neural network based on theNEUROBAYESpackage [33,34]. The neural network combines several input variables to form a single output variable on which the selection is performed. The trans- formation from the multidimensional space of input vari- ables to the single output variable is chosen during a training phase such that it maximizes the separation be- tween signal and background distributions. For each of the two measurements presented in this paper we use a speci- alized neural network. For the training we need two sets of events with a known classification of signal or background.

For the signal sample we use simulated events. We gen- erate the kinematic distributions ofB0smesons according to the measuredb-hadron momentum distribution. The decay of the generated B0s particles into theJ=cf0 final state is simulated using the EVTGEN package [35]. Each event is passed through the standard CDF II detector simulation, based on the GEANT3 package [36,37]. The simulated events are reconstructed with the same reconstruction soft- ware as real data events. The background sample is taken from data using candidates with theJ=cþ invariant mass above the B0s signal peak, where only combinatorial background events contribute. Because the requirement on the proper decay time significance efficiently suppresses background events in the branching ratio measurement, we use an enlarged sideband region of 5.45 to5:55 GeV=c2in this analysis, compared to an invariant mass range from 5.45 to5:475 GeV=c2 for the lifetime measurement.

For the branching fraction measurement, the inputs to the neural network, ordered by the importance of their contribution to the discrimination power, are the transverse momentum of thef0, the2of the kinematic fit of theB0s candidate using information in the plane transverse to the beam line, the proper decay time of theB0s candidate, the quality of the kinematic fit of theB0scandidate, the helicity angle of the positive pion, the transverse momentum of the

(8)

B0s candidate, the quality of the kinematic fit of the two pions with a common vertex constraint, the helicity angle of the positive muon, and the quality of the kinematic fit of the two muons with common vertex constraint. The helic- ity angle of the muon (pion) is defined as the angle between the three momenta of the muon (pion) and B0s candidate measured in the rest frame of theJ=c(f0). For the selec- tion of B0s !J=c decays we use the same neural net- work without retraining and simply replacef0variables by variables and pions by kaons.

For the lifetime measurement we modify the list of inputs by removing the proper decay time. We also do not use the helicity angles as they provide almost no addi- tional separation power on the selected sample. Since we are not concerned about a precise efficiency determination for the lifetime measurement, we add the following inputs:

the invariant mass of the two pions, the likelihood-based identification information for muons [38], and the invariant mass of the muon pair. The muon identification is based on the matching of tracks from the tracking system to track segments in the muon system, energy deposition in the electromagnetic and hadronic calorimeters, and isolation of the track. The isolation is defined as the transverse momentum carried by the muon candidate over the scalar sum of transverse momenta of all tracks in a cone offfiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffi R¼

For the lifetime measurement we use simulated experi- ments to determine the optimal neural network output requirement. We select a value that minimizes the statisti- cal uncertainty of the measured lifetime. We scan a wide range of neural network output values and for each require- ment we simulate an ensemble of experiments with a B0s lifetime of 1.63 ps, where the number of signal and back- ground events as well as the background distributions are simulated according to data. For a broad range of selection requirements we observe the same uncertainty within a few percent. Our final requirement on the network output is chosen from the central region of this broad range of equivalent options.

C. Physics backgrounds

We study possible physics backgrounds using simulated events with all b-hadrons produced and decayed inclu- sively to final states containing a J=c. For this study we use the selection from the branching fraction measurement.

While several physics backgrounds appear in the J=cþ mass spectrum, none contributes significantly under the B0s peak. The most prominent physics back- grounds are B0!J=cK0 with K0 !Kþ, where K0stands forKð892Þ0, andB0 !J=cþ. In the first case the kaon is misreconstructed as a pion and gives rise to a large fraction of the structure seen below5:22 GeV=c2, while the second one is correctly reconstructed and pro- duces the narrow peak at approximately 5:28 GeV=c2. Another possible physics type of background would con- sist of properly reconstructedBþcombined with a random track. This type of background would contribute only to higher masses with a threshold above theB0ssignal. As we

do not find evidence of such background in Ref. [40] which is more sensitive we conclude that this kind of background is also negligible here. The stacked histogram of physics backgrounds derived from simulation is shown in Fig. 3.

From this study we conclude that the main physics back- ground that has to be included as a separate component in a fit to the mass spectrum above 5:26 GeV=c2 stems from decays of B0!J=cþ. It is properly reconstructed and therefore simple to parametrize. All other physics backgrounds are negligible.

IV. BRANCHING FRACTION MEASUREMENT In this section we describe details of the branching fraction measurement. These involve the maximum like- lihood fit to extract the number of signal events, the efficiency estimation, and the systematic uncertainties.

We conclude this section with the result for the ratio Rf0= of branching fractions between B0s !J=cf0 and B0s !J=cdecays.

A. Fit description

We use an unbinned extended maximum likelihood fit of the invariant mass to extract the number ofB0sdecays in our samples. In order to avoid the need for modeling most of the physics background, we restrict the fit to the mass range from5:26 GeV=c2 to5:5 GeV=c2. The likelihood is L¼YN

for combinatorial background,pbfor physics background, and B0 for B0!J=cþ background. The yields of the components are given by Ns, Ncb, Ns fpb, andNB0, and their probability density functions (PDFs) by Ps;cb;pb;B0ðmiÞ, respectively. The physics background yield is parametrized relative to the signal yield via the ratiofpb to allow constraining it by other measurements in the B0s!J=cfit.

The signal PDFPsðmiÞis parametrized by a sum of two Gaussian functions with a common mean. The relative size of the two Gaussians and their widths are determined from simulated events. Approximately 82% of theB0s!J=cf0

decays are contained in a narrower Gaussian with width of 9:4 MeV=c2. The broader Gaussian has width of 18:4 MeV=c2. In the case of B0s!J=c, the narrow Gaussian with a width of 7:2 MeV=c2 accounts for 79%

of the signal, with the rest of the events having a width of 13:3 MeV=c2. To take into account possible differences between simulation and data, we multiply all widths by a scaling parameter Sm. Because of kinematic differences between f0!þ and !KþK we use indepen- dent scale factors for both modes. In the fits all parameters of the PDF are fixed except for the scaling parameterSm. In addition the mean of the Gaussians is allowed to float in the J=cKþK fit. Doing so we obtain a value that is consis- tent with the world average B0s mass [13]. For the J=cþfit we fix the position of the signal to the value determined in the fit to theJ=cKþK candidates.

The combinatorial background PDFPcbðmiÞis parame- trized using a linear function. In both fits we leave its slope floating. In each of the two fits there is one physics back- ground. In the case of theJ=cþspectrum, the physics background describes properly reconstructed B0! J=cþdecays using a shape identical to theB0s signal and position fixed to the world averageB0mass [13]. The number of B0 events NB0 is left free in the fit. For the J=cKþKfit, we have a contribution fromB0!J=cK0 decays where the pion from the K0 decay is misrecon- structed as a kaon. This contribution peaks at a mass of approximately 5:36 GeV=c2 with an asymmetric tail to- wards larger masses. The shape itself is parametrized by a sum of a Gaussian function and an exponential function convolved with a Gaussian. The parameters are derived from simulated B0!J=cK0 events. The normalization of this component relative to the signal is fixed to fpb¼ ð3:040:99Þ 102, which is derived from the CDF Run I measurement of the ratio of cross section times branching fraction for B0s !J=candB0!J=cK0 decays [41], the world average branching fractions forandK0 [13], and the ratio of reconstruction efficiencies obtained from simulation.

The fit determines a yield of 50237 B0s!J=cf0

events and 230249B0s !J=cevents, where the un- certainties are statistical only. The number of B0 back- ground events in theJ=cþfit is16030.

The selection criteria for the hadronic and the inclusive semileptonic decay modes are kept as similar as possible, which reduces systematic uncertainties on the relative
