A search for the charmless $B^{0}_{s} to eta^{prime}phi$ decay is performed using $pp$ collision data collected by the LHCb experiment at centre-of-mass energies of $7$ and $8$ TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3 fb$^{-1}$. No signal is observed and upper limits on the $B^{0}_{s} to eta^{prime}phi$ branching fraction are set to $0.82times 10^{-6}$ at $90%$ and $1.01times 10^{-6}$ at $95%$ confidence level.
We report the results of the first search for the decay $B_s^0 rightarrow eta^prime eta$ using $121.4~textrm{fb}^{-1}$ of data collected at the $Upsilon(5S)$ resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy $e^+e^-$ collider. We observe no significant signal and set a 90% confidence-level upper limit of %$7.1 times 10^{-5}$ $6.5 times 10^{-5}$ on the branching fraction of this decay.
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.
Using a dataset corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.0 fb$^{-1}$ collected in $pp$ collisions at centre-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV, the $B_s^0 to phi phi$ branching fraction is measured to be [ mathcal{B}(B_s^0 to phi phi) = ( 1.84 pm 0.05 (text{stat}) pm 0.07 (text{syst}) pm 0.11 (f_s/f_d) pm 0.12 (text{norm}) ) times 10^{-5}, ] where $f_s/f_d$ represents the ratio of the $B_s^0$ to $B^0$ production cross-sections, and the $B^0 to phi K^*(892)^0$ decay mode is used for normalization. This is the most precise measurement of this branching fraction to date, representing a factor five reduction in the statistical uncertainty compared with the previous best measurement. A search for the decay $B^0 to phi phi$ is also made. No signal is observed, and an upper limit on the branching fraction is set as [ mathcal{B}(B^0 to phi phi) < 2.8 times 10^{-8} ] at 90% confidence level. This is a factor of seven improvement compared to the previous best limit.
We report a search for $B^{0}to eta eta $ with a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $698 ,{rm fb}^{-1}$ containing $753 times 10^{6}$ $Bbar{B}$ pairs collected at the $Upsilon(4S)$ resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy $e^{+}e^{-}$ collider. The branching fraction is measured to be $mathcal{B}(B^{0} to eta eta ) = (7.6^{+2.7 +1.4}_{-2.3 -1.6}) times 10^{-7}$ at the level of 3.3 standard deviations above zero, which provides the first evidence for the decay $B^{0} to eta eta$.
A search for the rare decay $B^0 rightarrow J/psi phi$ is performed using $pp$ collision data collected with the LHCb detector at centre-of-mass energies of 7, 8 and 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9 ${rm fb}^{-1}$. No significan
t signal of the decay is observed and an upper limit of $1.1 times 10^{-7}$ at 90% confidence level is set on the branching fraction.
