On the decays B → K(⁎)+ leptonium

We determine the rates of the B meson decays into a K(⁎) and an ℓ+ℓ− bound state, the leptonium, where ℓ=e,μ,τ. The two spin states of the leptonium, the spin singlet and the spin triplet, couple to the axial current and to the vector current, respectively, thus probing different helicity structures...
