Abstract

The flavour changing neutral current decays can be interesting probes for searching for New Physics. Angular distributions of the decay B0K0μ+μ\mathrm{B}^0 \to \mathrm{K}^{*0} \mu^ +\mu^- are studied using a sample of proton-proton collisions at s=8 TeV\sqrt{s} = 8~\mathrm{TeV} collected with the CMS detector at the LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 20.5 fb120.5~\mathrm{fb}^{-1}. An angular analysis is performed to determine P1P_1 and P5P_5', where P5P_5' is of particular interest due to recent measurements that indicate a potential discrepancy with the standard model. Based on a sample of 1397 signal events, P1P_1 and P5P_5' angular parameters are determined as a function of the dimuon invariant mass squared. The measurements are in agreement with standard model predictions.
