Abstract

Tests of lepton universality in B0 → K0S ℓ+ ℓ− and B+ → K*+ ℓ+ ℓ− decays where ℓ is either an electron or a muon are presented. The differential branching fractions of B0 → K0S e+ e− and B+ → K*+ e+ e− decays are measured in intervals of the dilepton invariant mass squared. The measurements are performed using proton-proton collision data recorded by the LHCb experiment, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9 fb^−1. The results are consistent with the standard model and previous tests of lepton universality in related decay modes. The first observation of B0 → K0S e+ e− and B+ → K*+ e+ e− decays is reported.
