Abstract

The flavour changing neutral current decay b → sγ has been detected in hadronic Z decays collected by ALEPH at LEP. The signal is isolated in lifetime-tagged bb̄ events by the presence of a hard photon associated with a system of high momentum and high rapidity hadrons. The background processes are normalised from the data themselves. The inclusive branching ratio is measured to be (3.11±0.80_stat±0.72_syst)× 10^-4, consistent with the Standard Model expectation via penguin processes.

N2 - The flavour changing neutral current decay b → sγ has been detected in hadronic Z decays collected by ALEPH at LEP. The signal is isolated in lifetime-tagged bb̄ events by the presence of a hard photon associated with a system of high momentum and high rapidity hadrons. The background processes are normalised from the data themselves. The inclusive branching ratio is measured to be (3.11±0.80stat±0.72syst)× 10-4, consistent with the Standard Model expectation via penguin processes.
