Search for the decay B^+ --> K_S^0 K_S^0 pi^+
The BABAR Collaboration: B. Aubert, et al
TL;DR
This study searches for a rare charmless decay of B+ mesons into K_S^0 K_S^0 pi+ using BABAR data, but finds no significant signal and sets an upper limit on the decay's branching fraction.
Contribution
The paper provides the first upper limit on the branching fraction of B+ --> K_S^0 K_S^0 pi+ decay using a large BABAR dataset.
Findings
No significant signal observed.
90% CL upper limit on branching fraction is 5.1 x 10^-7.
Large dataset constrains rare decay probability.
Abstract
We search for charmless decays of charged B mesons to the three-body final state K_S^0 K_S^0 pi+. Using a data sample of 423.7 fb^-1 collected at the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the BABAR detector, corresponding to (465.1 +- 5.1)X10^6 BB-bar pairs, we find no significant signal and determine a 90% confidence level upper limit on the branching fraction of 5.1X10^-7.
