B → X_sγ in BLMSSM

Applying the effective Lagrangian method,we study the flavor changing neutral current process b→ sγwithin the minimal supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model,where baryon and lepton numbers are local gauge symmetries.Constraints on the parameters are investigated numerically with the experimental data for the branching ratio of B→ X_sγ.Additionally,we present the corrections to direct CP-violation in B→ X_sγ and time-dependent CP-asymmetry in B→K~*γ.With appropriate assumptions on the parameters,we find the direct CP-violation Acp is very small,while one-loop contributions to S_(K~*_γ) can be significant.     

Inelastic final-state interactions in B → VV →π K processes

We study the final-state interactions in B →π K decays through B → VV →π K processes where the inelastic rescattering occurs via single pion exchange. The next-to-leading order low-energy effective Hamiltonian and Bauer-Stech-Wirbel (BSW) model are used to evaluate the weak transition matrix elements and final-state interactions. We found that the final-state interaction effects in B →ρ K^*→π K processes are significant. The Fleischer-Mannel relation for the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) angle γ can be significantly modified. Received: 13 August 1998

B→ηK and B→φKs Decays in the Two Higgs Doublet Model Ⅲ

Using the QCD factorization approach, we investigate the large branching ratios of B→ηK^＊ decays and the SCKs anomaly of B→φKs decay in the two Higgs doublet model Ⅲ. With the contributions of flavour-changing neutral current mediated by the neutral Higgs bosons H^0, h^0 and A^0 at the tree level, we provide a coherent resolution to these anomalies within the constrained parameter spaces, which are 120 〈｜λbs λss｜ 〈136. This will be really interesting in searching for the signs of new physics.     

CP violation and strong phases from penguins in B±→PP and B±→VP decays

We calculate direct CP-violating rate asymmetries in chargedB→PP andB→VP decays arising from the interference of amplitudes with different strong and CKM phases. The perturbative strong phases develop at order α _s from absorptive parts of one-loop matrix elements of the next-to-leading logarithm corrected effective Hamiltonian. CPT constraints are maintained. Based on this model, we find that partial rate asymmetries between charge conjugateB ^± decays can be as high as 20% for certain channels with branching ratios in the 10^?6 range. Because the $c\bar c$ threshold lies so close to the physical momentum scale, the asymmetries depend sensitively on the model assumptions used to evaluate the imaginary parts of the matrix elements, in particular, on the internal momentum transfer. The charge asymmetries of partial rates would provide unambiguous evidence for direct CP violation.     

Nonfactorizable B→xcoK Decay and QCD Factorization

We study the unexpectedly large rate for the factorization-forbidden decay B→χ_c0K within the QCD factorization approach. We use a non-zero gluon mass to regularize the infrared divergences in vertex corrections. The end-point singularities arising from spectator corrections are regularized and carefully estimated by the off-shellness of quarks. We find that the contributions arising from the vertex and leading-twist spectator corrections are numerically small, and the twist-3 spectator contribution with chiral enhancement and linear end-point singularity becomes dominant. With reasonable choices for the parameters, the branching ratio for B→χ_c0K decay is estimated to be in the range (2～4)×10^-4, which is compatible with the Belle and BaBar data.

Study of B s 0 → µ+µ− and B d 0 → µ+µ− decays in flavor-changing Z′ models

Recently, the first evidence for the decay B _s ⁰ → μ ⁺ μ ^? has been announced by the LHCb Collaboration and the measured branching ratio B( _s ⁰ → μ ⁺) = (3.2 _?1.2 ^+1.5 ) × 10^?9 is in good agreement with the standard model (SM) expectation. It has also reported an upper limit for B(B _d ⁰ → μ ⁺ μ ^?) < 9.4 × 10^?10 at 95% confidence level. In this paper, we study the B _s ⁰ → μ ⁺ μ ^? and B _d ⁰ → μ ⁺ μ ^? rare decays in flavor-changing Z′ model. Our estimated branching ratios are enhanced from their SM values and provide signals for new physics.     

Can B→ppπ(π) be misidentified b→c transitions?

Recently reported decays of the B→pp̄π and pp̄ππ have been interpreted as evidence for the b→u transition. It is shown that a certain class of b→c transitions could be misidentified and interpreted as B→pp̄π(π).     

Evidence for direct CP violation in B±→ηh± and observation of B0→ηK0

We report measurements of the branching fractions and CP asymmetries for B(±)→ηh(±) (h=K or π) and the observation of the decay B(0)→ηK(0) from the final data sample of 772×10(6) B ?B pairs collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e(+)e(-) collider. The measured branching fractions are B(B(±)→ηK(±))=(2.12±0.23±0.11)×10(-6), B(B(±)→ηπ(±))=(4.07±0.26±0.21)×10(-6), and B(B(0)→ηK(0))=(1.27(-0.29)(+0.33)±0.08)×10(-6), where the last decay is observed for the first time with a significance of 5.4 standard deviations (σ). We also find evidence for CP violation in the charged B modes, A(CP)(B(±)→ηK(±))=-0.38±0.11±0.01 and A(CP)(B(±)→ηπ(±))=-0.19±0.06±0.01 with significances of 3.8 σ and 3.0 σ, respectively. For all measurements, the first and second uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively.     

First measurement of inclusive B→Xsη decays

We report a first measurement of inclusive B→Xsη decays, where Xs is a charmless state with unit strangeness. The measurement is based on a pseudoinclusive reconstruction technique and uses a sample of 657×10(6)BB pairs accumulated with the Belle detector at the KEKB e+e- collider. For MXs < 2.6 GeV/c2, we measure a branching fraction of [26.1±3.0(stat)-2.1+1.9(syst)-7.1+4.0(model)]×10(-5) and a direct CP asymmetry of ACP=-0.13±0.04-0.03+0.02. Over half of the signal occurs in the range MXs > 1.8 GeV/c2.     

Chemically produced XeF (B→X) emission

Strong UV emission has been observed in the reactions of XeF₂+SiH₄+F₂ and XeF₂+B₂H₆+F₂. The emission spectra have been identified with the B ²X ² transition of XeF. Possible mechanisms of XeF(B) production are discussed.     

Towards B→Vγ decays at NNLO in SCET

We compute NNLO ((α_s ²)) corrections to the hard-scattering kernels entering the QCD factorization formula for B→Vγ decays, where V is a light vector meson. We give complete NNLO results for the dipole operators Q₇ and Q₈, and partial results for Q₁ valid in the large-β₀ limit and neglecting the NNLO correction from hard-spectator scattering. Large perturbative logarithms in the hard-scattering kernels are identified and resummed using soft-collinear effective theory. We use our results to estimate the branching fractions for B→K^*γ and B_s→φγ decays at NNLO and compare them with the current experimental data.     

B→K*ℓ+ℓ- decay in soft-collinear effective theory

We study the rare B decay B→K^*ℓ⁺ℓ^- using soft-collinear effective theory (SCET). At leading power in 1/m_b, a factorization formula is obtained valid to all orders in α_s. For phenomenological application, we calculate the decay amplitude including order α_s corrections, and resum the logarithms by evolving the matching coefficients from the hard scale down to the scale . The branching ratio for B→K^*ℓ⁺ℓ^- is uncertain due to the imprecise knowledge of the soft form factors ζ_⊥(q²) and ζ_∥(q²). Constraining the soft form factor ζ_⊥(q²=0) from data on B→K^*γ yields ζ_⊥(q²=0)=0.32±0.02. Using this input, together with the light-cone sum rules to determine the q²-dependence of ζ_⊥(q²) and the other soft form factor ζ_∥(q²), we estimate the partially integrated branching ratio in the range 1 GeV²≤q²≤7 GeV² to be (2.92^+0.67 _-0.61)×10^-7. We discuss how to reduce the form factor related uncertainty by combining data on B→ρ(→ππ)ℓν_ℓ and B→K^*(→Kπ)ℓ⁺ℓ^-. The forward-backward asymmetry is less sensitive to the input parameters. In particular, for the zero-point of the forward-backward asymmetry in the standard model, we get q₀ ²=(4.07^+0.16 _-0.13) GeV². The scale dependence of q₀ ² is discussed in detail.

Precision measurement of the ratio B(t→Wb)/B(t→Wq) and extraction of V(tb)

We present a measurement of the ratio of top quark branching fractions R=B(t→Wb)/B(t→Wq), where q can be a d, s, or b quark, in the lepton+jets and dilepton tt final states. The measurement uses data from 5.4 fb(-1) of pp collisions collected with the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. We measure R=0.90±0.04, and we extract the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix element |V(tb)| as |V(tb)|=0.95±0.02, assuming unitarity of the 3×3 CKM matrix.     

Search for lepton number violating decays B+ → π- μ+ μ+ and B+ → K- μ+ μ+

A search is performed for the lepton number violating decay B+ → h- μ+ μ+, where h- represents a K- or a π-, using an integrated luminosity of 36 pb(-1) of data collected with the LHCb detector. The decay is forbidden in the standard model but allowed in models with a Majorana neutrino. No signal is observed in either channel and limits of B(B+ → K- μ+ μ+) < 5.4×10(-8) and B(B+ → π- μ+ μ+) < 5.8×10(-8) are set at the 95% confidence level. These improve the previous best limits by factors of 40 and 30, respectively.     

Survival probability in one dimension for theA+B→B reaction with hard-core repulsion

We study the effect of hard-core repulsion (known as the bus effect) betweenB particles on the reaction-diffusion systemA+BB in the continuous-time random walk model in one dimension with theA particles stationary. We show rigorously that the survival probability of theA particles is asymptotically bounded asC ₁lim _t{[–logS(t)]/t ^0.5}C ₂, whereC ₁ andC ₂ are constants. We also do simulations to confirm our results.
