First observation of Bs ->
phi phi
We have looked for decay of Bs meson in
the final state phi phi with the phi decayng to two charged
Kaons. This analysis uses a dataset of approximately 180 pb-1
of data taken with the displaced track trigger of CDFII up to August
2003. Additionally we study the decays Bs-> J/psi phi in the same
dataset to be used as a normalization signal for the extraction of the
Branching Ratio of Bs->phi phi.
We have found a significant excess of events in the signal region and
measure the Branching Ratio:
BR(Bs->phiphi)= (1.4 ±
0.6(stat.) ± 0.2(syst.) ± 0.5(BR's) ) * 10-5
where the last error is due to the uncertainty in the Bs-> J/psi
phi Branching Ratio.
This result has been
produced for the winter conferences 2004 and have been blessed in the B
Physcis Meeting on Thursday Apr 8th, 2004.
