A momentum sum-and-difference analysis separates detector bias sources in two-body decays, enabling a projected Lambda mass measurement at LHCb with 0.7 keV/c² tracking systematics and 2.2 keV/c² total uncertainty.

abstract
A search for the decay KS -> mu+ mu- is performed, based on a data sample of 1.0 fb^-1 of pp collisions at \sqrt{s}=7 TeV collected by the LHCb experiment at the Large Hadron Collider. The observed number of candidates is consistent with the background-only hypothesis, yielding an upper limit of BR(KS -> mu+ mu-) < 11 (9) x 10^-9 at 95 (90)% confidence level. This limit is a factor of thirty below the previous measurement.
