A<sc>bstract</sc> An angular analysis ofB0→ K*0e+e−decays is presented using proton-proton collision data collected by the LHCb experiment at centre-of-mass energies of 7, 8 and 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9 fb−1. The analysis is performed in the region of the dilepton invariant mass squared of 1.1–6.0 GeV2/c4. In addition, a test of lepton flavour universality is performed by comparing the obtained angular observables with those measured inB0→ K*0μ+μ−decays. In general, the angular observables are found to be consistent with the Standard Model expectations as well as with global analyses of otherb → sℓ+ℓ−processes, whereℓis either a muon or an electron. No sign of lepton-flavour-violating effects is observed.more » « less

The branching fraction of the decay , relative to the topologically similar decay , is measured using proton-proton collision data collected by the LHCb experiment at center-of-mass energies of 7, 8, and 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of . The ratio is found to be , where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic. Using the world-average branching fraction for , the branching fraction for the decay is found to be , where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second systematic, and the third is due to the branching fraction of the normalization channel. © 2025 CERN, for the LHCb Collaboration2025CERNmore » « less

The first measurement of the asymmetry of the decay rate ( ) and the average ( ) and asymmetry ( ) of the forward-backward asymmetry in the muon system of decays is reported. The measurement is performed using a data sample of proton-proton collisions, recorded by the LHCb experiment from 2016 to 2018 at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, which corresponds to an integrated luminosity of . The asymmetries are measured in two regions of dimuon mass near the -meson mass peak. The dimuon-mass integrated results are , , , where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic. The results are consistent with the conservation of symmetry and the Standard Model expectations. © 2025 CERN, for the LHCb Collaboration2025CERNmore » « less
