| Abstract: The full set of optimised CP-averaged observables is measured in the angular analysis of the decay $ {\mathrm{B}^0} \to \mathrm{K^{* 0}(892)} \mu^+\mu^- $ using a sample of proton-proton collisions at $ \sqrt{s}= $ 13 TeV collected with the CMS detector at the LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 140 fb$^{-1}$. The analysis is performed in bins of the invariant mass squared of the dimuon system. These results are among the most precise experimental measurements of the angular observables of the $ \mathrm{B}^0 \to \mathrm{K^{* 0}(892)} \mu^+\mu^- $ decay. | ||

| Summary |
| In summary, the study of the full angular distribution of the $ {\mathrm{B}^0}\to \mathrm{K^{* 0}}\mu^{+}\mu^{-} $ decay has been performed on 140 fb$ ^{-1} $ of proton-proton collision data recorded by the CMS detector at the LHC at center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. The complete set of CP-averaged observables has been measured via unbinned maximum-likelihood fits to the signal mass and angular distributions, in bins of $ q^{2} $ ranging from 1.1 to 16 GeV$^{2}$. These results are among the most precise experimental measurements of the angular observables of the $ {\mathrm{B}^0}\to \mathrm{K^{* 0}}\mu^{+}\mu^{-} $ decay. |
