Search for $B^0_s\rightarrow\mu^+\mu^-$ at D0

ORAL

Abstract

In this talk we present an update of the search for $B^0_s\rightarrow\mu^+\mu^-$ using the full D0 data set, $\sim~11~\textrm{fb}^{-1}$. In this analysis, the backgrounds have been significantly reduced by adding isolation variables and reconstructing additional vertices near the $B^0_s$ decay vertex. Other changes from the previous D0 result include the addition of $4~\textrm{fb}^{-1}$ of additional data and the use of a Boosted Decision Tree to discriminate between signal and background.
