2 B K (*) l + l in the SM and Beyond Flavor changing neutral current (b to s): proceeds via penguin or box diagrams in the SM. New physics at the EW scale (SUSY, technicolor, 4th generation quarks, etc.) can compete with small SM rate. Complementary to studying b to s γ due to presence of W and Z diagrams.

Model dependence ~ 7 11 % total per mode Systematic errors on the # of signal events in the fit Signal shape variation Background shape variation o includes peaking background uncertainty ~ events per mode K (*) ll Results from BaBar, J. Berryhill, DPF
21 Signal Statistical Significance What is the probability that background alone would fluctuate to produce the observed signal? Consider change in ln L when fixing the signal component to zero in fit. For Kl + l, equivalent to 5.0σ fluctuation; if systematic uncertainties in signal yield included still > 4σ For K*l + l, equivalent to 3.5σ fluctuation The Kl + l signal yield constitutes a significant observation of this decay. The K*l + l signal yield is not conclusively significant, and we place an upper limit for this channel: ( l l ) < * + 6 B B K 90% C.L. Preliminary K (*) ll Results from BaBar, J. Berryhill, DPF
22 Comparison with Run 1 Result Run 1: BB Kll + 6 ( ) < % C.L. BB Kll * + 6 ( ) < % C.L. Run 1+2: B ( B B ( B + Kl l * + K l l ) = (0.84 ) < ) % C.L. Preliminary All data fully reprocessed for Run 1+2 results: improvements in tracking, vertex detector alignment, etc. resulted in migration of events in/out of signal region. Sensitivity of this analysis is mostly unchanged by the reprocessing (some improvement in Ks modes). Migration of events into/out of signal region checked with control samples results are compatible The probability for a Kll branching fraction at our new value to give our Run 1 result is at the 23% level. K (*) ll Results from BaBar, J. Berryhill, DPF
23 Conclusions We have studied the channels B Kl + l and B K*l + l using 56.4 fb 1 of data at the BaBar experiment at PEPII. We obtain the following results: Preliminary B ( B B ( B + Kl l * + K l l ) = (0.84 ) < ) The statistical significance for B Kl + l is computed to be > 4σ including systematic uncertainties.

24 Peaking Backgrounds Usually due to particle misidenficiation, e.g.: Β Dπ Kπ Misid d as muons Kµµ background Since misid probability is higher for muons than for electrons, explicit vetoes are applied for the muon modes.
