| Abstract: The ratio $R_{\, \mathrm{f}_0 / \phi}$ of the branching fractions of the $\mathrm{B}^0_{s}$ meson to the CP-odd eigenstate $\mathrm{J}/\psi\, \mathrm{f}_0(980)$ and to $\mathrm{J}/\psi\, \phi(1020)$ is measured, where $\mathrm{J}/\psi \to \mu^+\mu^-$, $\mathrm{f}_0 \to \pi^+\pi^-$, and $\phi \to \mathrm{K}^+\mathrm{K}^-$. The analysis is based on a data sample of pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV, collected by the CMS experiment, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.3 fb$^{-1}$. The result is $R_{\, \mathrm{f}_0 / \phi} = 0.140 \pm 0.013 \pm 0.018$, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic. This result is consistent with theoretical predictions and previous measurements of $R_{\, \mathrm{f}_0 / \phi}$. It is the most precise measurement of the ratio to date. | ||
