note = {We study the decay modes of B meson decay to final states including J/ψ and
Φ mesons based on a large amount of data sample at the ϒ(4S) state collected with
Belle detector in KEKB asymmetric energy e+e- collider.
The decay B0 → J /ψΦ is expected to involve W-exchange and final state interac-
tion (FSI) processes. The mechanisms contributing to this decay can be divided into
four categories: 1) The photo-production; 2) The tri-gluon fusion; 3) The rescattering
effect; 4) The ω - Φ mixing. The dominant contribution is from ω- Φ mixing and the
branching fraction for this decay is estimated to be (1.8 ± 0.3) × 10-7.
We perform a search for B0 → J /ψΦ decays using a data sample of 605 fb-1
containing 657 × 106 BBpairs.
We reconstruct B mesons from the decays J/ψ → l+l- (l = e,μ) and Φ →
K+ K-. Events are required to pass a basic hadronic event selection. We identify B
candidates using two widely used kinematic variable calculated in the center-of-mass
system:the beam-energy constrained mass (Mbc ≡ √E2beam ― P2B) and the energy
difference (△E ≡ EB - Ebeam), where Ebeam is the beam energy, PB and EB are the
reconstructed momentum and energy of the B0 candidate. We select B candidates
within the range -0.2 GeV < △E < 0.3 GeV and 5.27 GeV / c2 ＜ Mbc < 5.29 GeV / c2
for final analysis.
We study reconstruction efficiency and event selection criteria using a large signal
Monte Calor (MC) sample. To study the background, we use a MC sample corre-
sponding to 3.86 × 106generic BB decays (59 times that of real data) that includes
all known B → J/ψX processes as well as sideband region.
The dominant background comes from BB events with B decays to J/ψ. We
find that the dominant backgrounds come B0 → J/ψK*0(892)[→K-π+] and
B0- → J/ψK1(1270)[→ K-π+π0/-]. In both cases, a pion is misidentified as a kaon,
and in the latter case, the other pion is missed. The former has a peak at △E ～0.1～
GeV, while the latter has a broad peak in the negative △E region. The remaining
background is due to random combinations of J/ψand Φ candidates and does not
have structure in the △E distribution (referred to as combinatorial background).
The signal yield is extracted by performing an unbinned extended maximum-
likelihood fit to the △E distribution of candidate events. The signal PDF is mod-
eled by a sum of two Gaussians. The background PDFs are two Gaussians for the
J/ψK1 component, a bifurcated Gaussian for the J/ψK*0 component and a second-
order polynomial for combinatorial background, respectively. The parameters of these
PDFs are determined from MC simulations.
We obtain a signal yield of 4.6+3.1-2.5 events with a statistical significance of 2.3σ.
As no significant signal is found for the B0 → J /ψΦ decay mode, we an upper
limit on the yield at the 90% confidence level by a frequentist method using ensembles
of pseudo-experiments. Finally an upper limit at the 90% confidence level is obtained:
β(B0 → J /ψΦ)< 9.4 × 10-7. (1)
This result improves upon the previous result by about a factor of 10 and is
consistent with the theory prediction. The result shows that a large enhancement
from rescattering is not likely in this decay mode. To check the prediction more
precisely, a larger data sample is needed., 総研大甲第1196号},
