During 2024, the LHCb experiment collected more than 9 fb−1 of integrated luminosity for pp collisions, recording approximately as many collisions as between 2011 and 2018. The performance of the upgraded LHCb detector in Run 3 of the LHC must be fully understood to perform precise measurements with this new dataset.
Measurements of ratios between B meson decays to final states containing different lepton pairs can be used to study lepton flavour universality, e.g., RK,K* between B+(0) → K+(0*) µ+ µ− and B+(0) → K+(0*) e+ e− decays. The J/ψ → ℓ ℓ resonant modes are commonly used as control channels and their ratio rJ/ψK,K* is well-understood to be consistent with unity. As such rJ/ψK,K* can be used to validate detector performance and data-MC corrections.
This contribution presents the progress towards a measurement of rJ/ψK,K* using 2024 data.
