Abstract
Results are presented from a search for the rare decays B_s^0→μ^+μ^- and B^0→μ^+μ^- in pp collisions at √s=7 and 8 TeV, with data samples corresponding to integrated luminosities of 5 and 20 fb^(-1), respectively, collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC. An unbinned maximum-likelihood fit to the dimuon invariant mass distribution gives a branching fraction B(B_s^0→μ^+μ^-)=(3.0_(-0.9)^(+1.0))×10^(-9), where the uncertainty includes both statistical and systematic contributions. An excess of B_s^0→μ^+μ^- events with respect to background is observed with a significance of 4.3 standard deviations. For the decay B^0→μ^+μ^- an upper limit of B(B^0→μ^+μ^-)<1.1×10^(-9) at the 95% confidence level is determined. Both results are in agreement with the expectations from the standard model.
