Description
The Bd->K*mu+mu- decay ocurrs via the FCNC process in the Standard Model(SM) with a branching ratio calculated to be 11.9+-3.9x10^-7. It has been already measured in previous experiments and the the obtained value is of the order of 12.2^{+5.8}_{-5.2} x10^-7. A set of important quantities such as dimuon mass spectra and the forward-backward asymmetry(FBA) can be measured with this decay in order to test the SM and search for new Physics. In this work we propose an unbinned method to evaluate these distributions using a non-parametric approach. This study has also been carried out to evaluate of the zero point of the FBA distrubution and its resolution. Such values were estimated to be 4.04+-0.4 GeV^2/c^4. Acceptance effects and background issues are also addressed.
