Searches of processes beyond the Standard Model (SM) are among the main topics of interest at the ATLAS experiment. Indirect evidence of such processes may be obtained by observing rare leptonic and semi-leptonic decays of beauty hadrons. The branching ratio of the decay Bs → μ μ is sensitive to theoretical models extending the SM. Its measurement may confirm or contradict such models. The...

The result of a search for the rare decay B0_s to mu+ mu- using 6.1 fb-1 of
Run II data collected with the D0 detector at the Tevatron collider will be
presented. When setting limits on the branching ratio, selected events are
normalized to reconstructed B+ to J/Psi K+ events in order to decrease the
systematic uncertainty. Compared to the previous published D0 result, this
new result is...

B hadrons are an ideal tool for advancing our current understanding of the flavour sector of the Standard Model (SM), and searching for effects originating from physics beyond the SM, thanks to the large production rate and the fact that B hadrons are relatively easy to trigger on and identify due to their long lifetime and high mass. In this talk, first CMS results on dimuons at proton-proton...
