Exclusive measurements ofbsγtransition rate and photon energy spectrum

Abstract: We use 429 fb −1 of e + e − collision data collected at the Υ (4S) resonance with the BABAR detector to measure the radiative transition rate of b → sγ with a sum of 38 exclusive final states. The inclusive branching fraction with a minimum photon energy of 1.9 GeV is found to be B(B → Xsγ) = (3.29 ± 0.19 ± 0.48) × 10 −4 where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic. We also measure the first and second moments of the photon energy spectrum and extract the best fit values for the heav… Show more

“…Since heavy unobserved particles might enter in the loop, such decays are sensitive to new physics (NP). Precision measurements of the branching fraction for B → X s γ by CLEO [1], BABAR [2][3][4] and Belle [5,6] are consistent with SM predictions [7,8] and give a strong constraint to NP models [9]. Another important observable that is sensitive to NP signatures in the b → sγ process is the photon polarization.…”
