The measurements of the branching fraction and effective lifetime of the Bs0 \u2192 \u03bc+\u03bc\u2212 decay by the ATLAS, CMS, and LHCb collaborations, as well as the search for B0 \u2192 \u03bc+\u03bc\u2212 decays, are summarized with a focus on the experimental challenges. Furthermore, prospects are given for these measurements and new observables that become accessible with the foreseen amounts of data by the end of the LHC.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/sym16020251","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,19]],"date-time":"2024-02-19T10:40:15Z","timestamp":1708339215000},"page":"251","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Analysis of B(s)0 \u2192 \u03bc+\u03bc\u2212 Decays at the Large Hadron Collider"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1304-3782","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kai-Feng","family":"Chen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physics, National Taiwan University, Taipei City 106319, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5612-979X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Titus","family":"Momb\u00e4cher","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CERN, 1211 Geneva, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4704-525X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Umberto","family":"De Sanctis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physics, University of Roma Tor Vergata, 00133 Rome, Italy"},{"name":"INFN Sezione di Roma Tor Vergata, 00133 Rome, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"101801","DOI":"10.1103\/PhysRevLett.112.101801","article-title":"Bs,d \u2192 \u2113+\u2113\u2212 in the Standard Model with Reduced Theoretical Uncertainty","volume":"112","author":"Bobeth","year":"2014","journal-title":"Phys.
