Abstract
The J/ψ→μ+μ-μ+μ- decay has been observed with a statistical significance in excess of five standard deviations. The analysis is based on an event sample of proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, collected by the CMS experiment in 2018 and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 33.6 fb-1. Normalizing to the J/ψ→μ+μ- decay mode leads to a branching fraction of [10.1-2.7+3.3(stat)±0.4(syst)]×10-7, a value that is consistent with the standard model prediction.File in questo prodotto:
