dc.description.abstractThe B0 → K∗0K∗0 and Bs0 → K∗0K∗0 decays are studied using proton-proton collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3fb−1. An untagged and time- integrated amplitude analysis of B0 → (K+π−)(K−π+) decays in two-body invariant (s) mass regions of 150MeV/c2 around the K∗0 mass is performed. A stronger longitudinal polarisation fraction in the B0 → K∗0K∗0 decay, fL = 0.724 ± 0.051 (stat) ± 0.016 (syst), is observed as compared to fL = 0.240 ± 0.031 (stat) ± 0.025 (syst) in the Bs0 → K∗0K∗0 decay. The ratio of branching fractions of the two decays is measured and used to determine B(B0 → K∗0K∗0) = (8.0 ± 0.9 (stat) ± 0.4 (syst)) × 10−7
