Abstract
We present a measurement of Rk+ , the branching fraction ratio B(B → K+μ+μ−)=B(B → K*e+e−),, for both charged and neutral B mesons. The ratio for the charged case R K* + is the first measurement ever performed. In addition, we report absolute branching fractions for the individual modes in bins of the squared dilepton invariant mass q2. The analysis is based on a data sample of 711 fb−1, containing 772 × 106 BB̅ events, recorded at the ϒ(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetricenergy e+e− collider. The obtained results are consistent with standard model expectations.
