Abstract
Additional spin-0 particles appear in many extensions of the standard model. We search for long-lived spin-0 particles S in B-meson decays mediated by a b→s quark transition in e+e- collisions at the ϒ(4S) resonance at the Belle II experiment. Based on a sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 189 fb-1, we observe no evidence for signal. We set model-independent upper limits on the product of branching fractions B(B0→K*(892)0(→K+π-)S)×B(S→x+x-) and B(B+→K+S)×B(S→x+x-), where x+x- indicates e+e-,μ+μ-,π+π-, or K+K-, as functions of S mass and lifetime at the level of 10^-7.File in questo prodotto:
