Description

Using a data sample of s = 13 TeV proton-proton collisions collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC in 2017 and 2018 with an integrated luminosity of 103 fb1, the Bs0 → ψ(2S)KS0 and B0 → ψ(2S)KS0π+π decays are observed with significances exceeding 5 standard deviations. The resulting branching fraction ratios, measured for the first time, correspond to B(Bs0 → ψ(2S)KS0/B(B0 → ψ(2S)KS0) = (3.33 ± 0.69(stat) ± 0.11(syst) ± 0.34 (fs/fd)) × 102 and B(B0 → ψ(2S)KS0π+π/B(B0 → ψ(2S)KS0) = 0.480 ± 0.013(stat) ± 0.032(syst), where the last uncertainty in the first ratio is related to the uncertainty in the ratio of production cross sections of Bs0 and B0 mesons, fs/fd.
