Systematic errors

Tab. 3 and 4 summarize the sources of the systematic uncertainties on the branching ratio and the charge asymmetry.

Table 3: Contributions to the systematic uncertainty on the branching ratio.
SYSTEMATIC ERROR [%]
$ B^{\pm } \rightarrow \phi K^{\pm }$ yield 3.0
$ B^{\pm} \rightarrow J/\psi K^{\pm}$ yield 3.3
$ \varepsilon_{\mu\mu K}/\varepsilon_{KKK}$ 1.5
$ \langle\varepsilon_{\mu}\rangle$ 2.6
$ \varepsilon_{R_{iso}}$ 1.4
Particle dependent XFT efficiency 3.3
acceptance $ \varphi$ dependance due to COT ageing 0.3
$ \chi^{2}_{xy}$ cut efficiency 3.0
$ B\!R(J/\psi\to\mu\mu)$ 1.2
$ B\!R(\phi\to KK)$ 1.7
TOTAL 7.4



Table 4: Contributions to the systematic uncertainty on the asymmetry.
SYSTEMATIC ERROR
fit $ ^{+0.034}_{-0.020}$
detector charge asymmetry 0.005
TOTAL $ ^{+0.034}_{-0.021}$
