How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Our article is devoted to the study of the B->K*(->K Pi )l+l- decay. Rare decay B->K*(->K Pi )l+l- is one of the best modes to search for new physics beyond the Standard Model (SM). A large number of observables allow for unique tests of the SM contributions. We calculate the relevant form factors in the framework of the covariant quark model with infrared confinement in the full kinematical momentum transfer region. The calculated form factors are used to evaluate branching fractions and polarization observables in the cascade decay B->K*(->K Pi )l+l-. We compare the obtained results with available experimental data and the results from other theoretical approaches. We show the relation of our helicity formalism with an approach based on the transversality amplitudes which is widely used by both experimentalists and theorists.
