Abstract

An angular analysis of B0→J/ψK*0 and Bs0→J/ψφ has been used to determine the decay amplitudes with parity-even longitudinal ( A0) and transverse ( A∥) polarization and parity-odd transverse ( A⊥) polarization. The measurements are based on 190 B0 and 40 Bs0 candidates obtained from 89pb-1 of p̅ p collisions at the Fermilab Tevatron. The longitudinal decay amplitude dominates with |A0|2 = 0.59±0.06±0.01 for B0 and |A0|2 = 0.61±0.14±0.02 for Bs0 decays. The parity-odd amplitude is found to be small with |A⊥|2 = 0.13-0.09+0.12±0.06 for B0 and |A⊥|2 = 0.23±0.19±0.04 for Bs0 decays.
