  1. Abstract A test of lepton flavor universality in B ± K ± μ + μ and B ± K ± e + e decays, as well as a measurement of differential and integrated branching fractions of a nonresonant B ± K ± μ + μ decay are presented. The analysis is made possible by a dedicated data set of proton-proton collisions at s = 13 TeV recorded in 2018, by the CMS experiment at the LHC, using a special high-rate data stream designed for collecting about 10 billion unbiased b hadron decays. The ratio of the branching fractions B ( B ± K ± μ + μ ) to B ( B ± K ± e + e ) is determined from the measured double ratio R ( K ) of these decays to the respective branching fractions of the B ± J / ψ K ± with J / ψ μ + μ and e + e decays, which allow for significant cancellation of systematic uncertainties. The ratio R ( K ) is measured in the range 1.1 < q 2 < 6.0 GeV 2 , whereqis the invariant mass of the lepton pair, and is found to be R ( K ) = 0.78 0.23 + 0.47 , in agreement with the standard model expectation R ( K ) 1 . This measurement is limited by the statistical precision of the electron channel. The integrated branching fraction in the sameq2range, B ( B ± K ± μ + μ ) = ( 12.42 ± 0.68 ) × 10 8 , is consistent with the present world-average value and has a comparable precision.

  2. A search for the rare decay D 0 μ + μ is reported using proton-proton collision events at s = 13.6 TeV collected by the CMS detector in 2022–2023, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 64.5 fb 1 . This is the first analysis to use a newly developed inclusive dimuon trigger, expanding the scope of the CMS flavor physics program. The search uses D 0 mesons obtained from D * + D 0 π + decays. No significant excess is observed. A limit on the branching fraction of B ( D 0 μ + μ ) < 2.4 × 10 9 at 95% confidence level is set. This is the most stringent upper limit set on any flavor changing neutral current decay in the charm sector.
