Abstract

The ratio between the branching fractions of the B⁰ → ρ(770)⁰γ and B⁰ → K^*(892)⁰γ decays is measured with proton-proton collision data collected by the LHCb experiment at centre-of-mass energies of 7, 8, and 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9 fb⁻¹. The measured value is (Formula presented.) where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic. The branching fraction for B⁰→ ρ(770)⁰γ decays is hence obtained as (Formula presented.) where the last uncertainty is due to the branching fraction of the normalisation mode. This result assumes that both the ρ(770)⁰ and K^*(892)⁰ decays saturate the dihadron mass spectra considered in the analysis. It is consistent with the current world-average value and by far the most precise measurement to date.

The measured value is (Formula presented.) where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic. The branching fraction for B0→ ρ(770)0γ decays is hence obtained as (Formula presented.) where the last uncertainty is due to the branching fraction of the normalisation mode. This result assumes that both the ρ(770)0 and K*(892)0 decays saturate the dihadron mass spectra considered in the analysis. It is consistent with the current world-average value and by far the most precise measurement to date.
