Measurement of the shape of the $B_s^0\to D_s^{\ast -}{\mu }^{+}{\nu }_{\mu }$ differential decay rate

Abstract

The shape of the $B_s^0\to D_s^{\ast -}{\mu }^{+}{\nu }_{\mu }$ differential decay rate is obtained as a function of the hadron recoil using proton-proton collision data at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.7 fb${}^{-1}$ collected by the LHCb detector. The $B_s^0\to D_s^{\ast -}{\mu }^{+}{\nu }_{\mu }$ decay is reconstructed through the decays $D_s^{\ast -}\to D_s^{-}\gamma$ and $D_s^{-}\to K^{-}{K}^{+}{\pi }^{-}$. The differential decay rate is fitted with the Caprini-Lellouch-Neubert (CLN) and Boyd-Grinstein-Lebed (BGL) parametrisations of the form factors, and the relevant quantities for both are extracted.
