LEPTON (HADRON) FORWARD-BACKWARD ASYMMETRY IN B K()+ ( B K / πh+h) DECAY

The forward-backward angular asymmetry of the lepton pair in B K()+ ( B K / πh+h) decay is defined as
AFB(s) = N(cosθ>0)N(cosθ<0)N(cosθ>0)+N(cosθ<0),
where s=q2/m2B, and θ is the angle of the (h) with respect to the flight direction of the B meson, measured in the dilepton (dihadron) rest frame. In addition, the fraction of longitudinal polarization FL of the K and FS, the relative contribution from scalar and pseudoscalar penguin amplitudes in B K+, can be measured from the angular distribution of its decay products.

AFB( B K+) (16.0 < q2< 19.0 GeV2/c4)
