The analysis is based on data collected with the CMS detector in 2016-2018 corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 140 fb-1. The branching fraction of the B0s & RARR; & mu;+& mu;- decay and the effective B0s meson lifetime are the most precise single measurements to date. No evidence for the B0 & RARR; & mu;+& mu;- decay has been found. All results are found to be consistent with the standard model predictions and previous measurements. & COPY; 2023 The Author(s).
