Search for the Decay $B_s^0 rightarrow eta^prime eta$


Abstract in English

In the Standard Model (SM) charmless hadronic decays $B_s^0 rightarrow eta^prime eta$ proceed via tree-level $bto u$ and penguin $bto s$ transitions. Penguin transitions are sensitive to Beyond-the-Standard-Model (BSM) physics scenarios and could affect the branching fractions and {it CP} asymmetries in such decays. Once branching fractions for two-body decays $B_s to etaeta, etaeta^{prime}, eta^{prime}eta^{prime} $ are measured, and the theoretical uncertainties are reduced, it would be possible to extract {it CP} violating parameters from the data using the formalism based on SU(3)/U(3) symmetry. To achieve this goal, at least four of these six branching fractions need to be measured. Only the branching fraction for $B_s^0 to eta^{prime}eta^{prime}$ has been measured so far.
