Description
"A search for the rare decays $B_{(s)}^0\to J/\psi\gamma$ is performed with proton-proton collision data collected by the LHCb experiment, corresponding to integrated luminosities of 3 $\mathrm{fb}^{−1}$ at centre-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV, and 6 $\mathrm{fb}^{−1}$ at 13 TeV. Assuming no
contribution from $B^0\to J/\psi\gamma$ decay, an upper limit is set on the branching fraction $\mathcal{B}(B_{s}^0\to J/\psi\gamma)<2.9\times 10^{-6}$ at the 90% confidence level. If instead no contribution from $B_{s}^0\to J/\psi\gamma$ decay is assumed, the limit is $\mathcal{B}(B^0\to J/\psi\gamma)<2.5\times 10^{-6}$ at the 90% confidence level. These results supersede the previous LHCb results, with the limit for $B_{s}^0\to J/\psi\gamma$ improved by a factor of 2.5."
