| Abstract: Measurements are presented of the $ \mathrm{B}_{s}^{0} \to\mu^{+}\mu^{-} $ branching fraction and the $ \mathrm{B}_{s}^{0} $ effective lifetime, as well as results of a search for the $ {\mathrm{B}^0} \to \mu^{+}\mu^{-} $ decay in proton-proton collisions at $ \sqrt{s}= $ 13 TeV at the LHC. 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 $ \mathrm{B}_{s}^{0} \to\mu^{+}\mu^{-} $ decay and the effective $ \mathrm{B}_{s}^{0} $ meson lifetime are the most precise single measurements to date. No evidence for the $ {\mathrm{B}^0} \to \mu^{+}\mu^{-} $ decay has been found. All results are found to be consistent with the standard model predictions and previous measurements. | ||
