Dear all,
We are proud to present you the highly anticipated unblinded value of asls. Please keep it within the group for now, as we are yet to present the official LHCb result. In the attached plot you can see the new world average for asls (y-axis) as a green band, as well as the combined result for asld (x-axis) and the D0 dimuon anomaly (yellow ellips).
We confirm the D0 result, and are in agreement with the SM prediction within 4.1 standard deviations. The deviation can most likely be attributed to an anomalous branching ratio of the Bs -> tau tau intermediate state, or processes involving the Z’ in the mixing.
Cheers, on behalf of the asls crew,
Jacco
