Abstract

The ratio of branching fractions between B⁰ → J/ψπ⁰ and B⁺ → J/ψK^*+ decays is measured with proton-proton collision data collected by the LHCb experiment, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9 fb^-1. The measured value is \fracB_{B⁰ → J/ψπ⁰}B_{B⁺ → J/ψK^*+} = (1.153 ± 0.053 ± 0.048 ) × 10^-2, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic. The branching fraction for B⁰ → J/ψπ⁰ decays is determined using the branching fraction of the normalisation channel, resulting in B_{B⁰ → J/ψπ⁰} = (1.670 ± 0.077 ± 0.069 ± 0.095) × 10^-5, where the last uncertainty corresponds to that of the external input. This result is consistent with the current world average value and competitive with the most precise single measurement to date.
