Assessment of the decay's observation potential with the ATLAS detector.
Potential for discovering new physics through enhanced decay detection.
Abstract
The observation potential of the decay B+ -> K+K+pi- with the ATLAS detector at LHC is described in this paper. In the Standard Model this decay mode is highly suppressed, while in models beyond the Standard Model it could be significantly enhanced. To improve the selection of the K+K+pi- final state, a charged hadron identification using Time-over-Threshold measurements in the ATLAS Transition Radiation Tracker was developed and used.
