Abstract
In this report, measurements of the ratios of branching fractions RK=B(B+âK+μ+μâ)/B(B+âK+e+eâ) and R(Dâ)=B(Bâ¾0âDâ+Ïâνâ¾Ï)/B(Bâ¾0âDâ+μâνâ¾Î¼), as well as preliminary upper limits on the B(s)0âÏ+Ïâ branching fractions are presented, using proton-proton collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.0 fbâ1 recorded by the LHCb experiment during 2011 and 2012. The value of RK is measured to be 0.745â0.074+0.090 (stat) ± 0.036 (syst), R(Dâ) equals 0.336 ± 0.027 (stat) ± 0.030 (syst), and at 95% confidence level B(Bs0âÏ+Ïâ)<3.0Ã10â3 and B(B0âÏ+Ïâ)<1.3Ã10â3. The results for RK and R(Dâ) are respectively â2.6 and +2.1 standard deviations away from the values expected from lepton universality of the Standard Model.
