Searching for new physics in D~0→μ~+ μ~-,e~+e~-,μ~±e~■ at BES and/or the super charm-tau factory

In contrast with B0-ˉB0, Bs-ˉBs mixing where the standard model(SM) contributions overwhelm that of the new physics beyond standard model(BSM), a measured relatively large D0-ˉD0mixing where the SM contribution is negligible, definitely implies the existence of the new physics BSM. It is natural to consider that the rare decays of D meson might be more sensitive to new physics, and the decay mode D0→μ+μ-could be an ideal area to search for new physics because it is a flavor changing process. In this work we look for a trace of the new physics BSM in the leptonic decays of D0. Concretely we discuss the contributions of unparticle or an extra gauge boson Z while imposing the constraints set by fitting the D0-ˉD0mixing data. We find that the long-distance SM effects for D0→lˉl still exceed those contributions of the BSM under consideration, but for a double-flavor changing process such as D0→μ±e, the new physics contribution would be significant.     

B_(s,d)→μ~+μ_- decays in a flavor changing Z′ model

We study the pure leptonic decays Bs,d →μ+μ- in a Flavor Changing Z′ Model.From the recent measurements of the branching ratios B(Bs,d →μ+μ-),we have derived the bounds on the effective μ-μ-Z′ lepton coupling BμLμ.We find that,(i) if neglecting the contribution from the right-handed lepton coupling BμRμ,we obtain 1.32 < BμLμ < 3.32;(ii) if considering the contribution from the right-handed lepton coupling BμRμ and setting BμLμ =BμRμ,we obtain 0.99相似文献   

Investigation of rare semileptonic B_c→(D_(s,d)~((*))μ~+μ~- decays with non-universal Z' effect

We analyze different decay observables of semileptonic decays B_c→(D_(s,d)~((*)))μ~+μ~-,such as the branching ratio,forward-backward asymmetry,polarization fraction,and lepton polarization asymmetry in the non-universal Z'model.We further study the dependence of the branching fraction to the new model parameters and find that the values of different decay parameters increase in the Z' model,which indicates a possible approach for the search of new physics as well as for the unknown phenomena of the charm B meson.     

Bs,d → μ+μ- decays in a flavor changing Z' model decays in a flavor changing Z' model

We study the pure leptonic decays Bs,d→μ+μ- in a Flavor Changing Z' Model. Prom the recent measurements of the branching ratios β(Bs,d →μ+μ-).we have derived the bounds on the effective μ-μ-Z' lepton coupling BμμL. We find that, (i) if neglecting the contribution from the right-handed lepton coupling BμμR, we obtain 1.32 < BμμL < 3.32; (ii) if considering the contribution from the right-handed lepton coupling BμμR and setting BμμL = BμμR, we obtain 0.99 < BμμL < 2.19. Our results could be useful for researching Z' effects.     

The study of B→K*l+l- decays in family non-universal Z′ models

In a combined investigation of B → K ( * ) l + l - decays, constraints on the related couplings in family non-universal Z′ models are derived. We find that within the allowed parameter space, the recently observed forward-backward asymmetry in the B → K * l + l - decay can be explained by flipping the signs of the Wilson coefficients C eff 9 and C 10 . With the obtained constraints, we also calculate the branching ratio of the B s →μ + μ - decay. The upper bound of our prediction is nearly an order of magnitude smaller than the upper bound given by the CDF Collaboration recently.     

Searching for new physics in D^0→μ^＋ μ^-,e^＋e^-,μ^±e at BES and/or the super charm-tau factory

In contrast with B0-ˉB0, Bs-ˉBs mixing where the standard model（SM） contributions overwhelm that of the new physics beyond standard model（BSM）, a measured relatively large D0-ˉD0mixing where the SM contribution is negligible, definitely implies the existence of the new physics BSM. It is natural to consider that the rare decays of D meson might be more sensitive to new physics, and the decay mode D0→μ＋μ-could be an ideal area to search for new physics because it is a flavor changing process. In this work we look for a trace of the new physics BSM in the leptonic decays of D0. Concretely we discuss the contributions of unparticle or an extra gauge boson Z while imposing the constraints set by fitting the D0-ˉD0mixing data. We find that the long-distance SM effects for D0→lˉl still exceed those contributions of the BSM under consideration, but for a double-flavor changing process such as D0→μ±e, the new physics contribution would be significant.     

Constraints on the R-Parity Violating Couplings Using the Newest Measurement of the Decay B_s~0→μ~+μ~-

Recently, the LHCb collaboration reported the first evidence for the decay B0s→μ+μ-. A branching ratio of B(B0s→μ+μ-)=(3.2+1.51.2)×10 9is given. Using the newest data, and together with the most precise predictions of the Standard Model contributions to the decay, we derive the constraints on the combinations of the R-parity violating parameters. Our results are several orders of magnitudes stronger than the constraints in the previous literature. We also update the constraints on the relevant parameters using the upper limit ofB(B0d→μ+μ-).     

Can contributions to B_s→l~+l~-γ from the magnetic-penguin operator with real photons in the standard model be neglected?

Using the Bs meson wave function extracted from non-leptonic Bs decays, we reevaluate the rare decays Bs→l+l- γ,(l=e,μ) in the Standard Model, including two kinds of contributions from the magnetic-penguin operator with virtual and real photons. We find that contributions to the exclusive decays from the magnetic-penguin operator b→sγ with real photons, which were regarded as negligible in the previous literature, are large and the branching ratios Bs→l+l-γ are enhanced by a factor of almost 2. With the predicted branching ratios of the order of 10-8, it is expected that these radiative dileptonic decays will be detected in LHC-b and B factories in the near future.     

Phenomenological studies on B~0 → [K~-π~+]_(S/V)[π~+π~-]_(V/S) → K~-π~+π~+π~- decay

Within the quasi-two-body decay model,we study the localized CP violation and branching fraction of the four-body decay B~0→[K~-π~+]_(s/V)[π~+π~-]_(V/)S→K-π~+π~-π~+ when the K~-π~+and π~-π~+ pair invariant masses are0.35 m(K~-π~+)2.04 GeV and 0 mπ~-π~+1.06 GeV,with the pairs being dominated by the K_0~*(700)~0,K~*(892)~0,K~*(1410)~0,K_0~*(1430) and K~*(1680)~0,and fo(500),ρ~0(770),ω(782) and fo(980) resonances,respectively.When dealing with the dynamical functions of these resonances,fo(500),ρ~0(770),fo(980) and K_0~*(1430) are modeled with the Bugg model,Gounaris-Sakurai function,Flatte formalism and LASS lineshape,respectively,while the others are described by the relativistic Breit-Wigner function.Adopting the end point divergence parameters ρA ∈[0,0.5] andΦ_A∈[0,2π],our predicted results are F_(CP)(B~0→K~-π~+π~+π~-)∈[-0.365,0.447] and B(B~0→K-π~+π~+π~-)∈[6.11,185.32] x 10~(-8),based on the hypothetical qq structures for the scalar mesons in the QCD factorization approach.Meanwhile,we calculate the CP violating asymmetries and branching fractions of the two-body decays B~0→SV(VS) and all the individual four-body decays B~0→SV(VS)→K~-π~+π~-π~+,respectively.Our theoretical results for the two-body decays B~0→K~*(892)~0 fo(980),B~0→K_0~*(1430)~0ω(782),B~0→K~*(892)~0 f~0(980),B~0→K_0~*(1430)~0ρ,and B~0→(1430)~0ω are consistent with the available experimental data,with the remaining predictions await testing in future high precision experiments.     

LHCb anomaly in B→K~*μ~+μ~- optimised observables and potential of Z' model

Over the last few years LHCb found some discrepancies in b → sl~+l~-FCNC transitions, including anomalies in the angular observables of B→K~*μ~+μ~-, particularly in P′_5, in the low dimuon mass region. Recently,these anomalies have been confirmed by Belle, CMS and ATLAS. As direct evidence of physics beyond the Standard Model is absent so far, these anomalies are being interpreted as indirect hints of new physics. In this context, we study the implications of the family non-universal Z′ model for the angular observables P_(1,2,3), P′_(4,5,6) and newly proposed lepton flavor universality violation observables, Q_(4,5), in the B → K~*(→Kπ)μ~+μ~-decay channel in the low dimuon mass region. To see the variation in the values of these observables from their Standard Model values, we have chosen different scenarios for the Z′ model. It is found that these angular observables are sensitive to the values of the parameters of the Z′ model. We have also found that with the present parametric space of the Z′ model,the P′_5-anomaly could be accommodated. However, more statistics on the anomalies in the angular observables are helpful to reveal the status of the considered model and, in general, the nature of new physics.     

Branching fractions and direct C P asymmetries of ■_s →K~0h~+h′~-(h(′)=K,π) decays

Motivated by the recent LHCb collaboration measurements of charmless three-body decays of ■s meson, we calculate the branching fractions of ■ s →K0π+π-, ■s→K0K+K-, ■s→K0π+K- and ■s→K0K+π- decay modes using the factorization approach.Both the resonant and nonresonant contributions are studied in detail. For the decays ■s→K0π+π- and ■s→K0K+K-, our results agree well with experimental data, and the former is dominated by the K*, while the latter one is dominated by the nonresonant contribution. Considering the flavor S U(3) symmetry violation, the sum of branching fractions of ■s→K0π+K- and ■s→K0K+π-could accommodate the data well too. It should be noted that both branching fractions are sensitive to the scalar density Kπ|ˉsq|0.Furthermore, the resonant contributions are dominated by the scalar K*0(1430). We hope that these branching fractions could be measured individually in the experiments so as to test the factorization approach and the flavor S U(3) asymmetry. Moreover, the direct C P asymmetries of these decays are also investigated, which could be measured in the running LHCb experiment and Super-b factory in the future.     

Rare Decay B_c → D_s *μ~+ μ~- in a Family Non-Universal Z′ Model

Using the form factors calculated in the three-point QCD sum rules, we calculate the new physics contributions to the physical observables of B c → Ds* μ+ μ decay in a family non-universal Z′ model. Under the consideration of three cases of the new physics parameters, we find that: (a) the Z′ boson can provide large contributions to the differential decay rates; (b) the forward-backward asymmetry (FBA) can be increased by about 47%, 38%, and 110% at most in S1, S2, and extreme limit values (ELV), respectively. In addition, the zero crossing can be shifted in all the cases; (c) when s 0.08, the value of P L can be changed from 1 in the Standard Model (SM) to 0.5 in S1, 0.6 in S2, and 0 in extreme limit values, respectively; (d) the new physics corrections to P T will decrease the SM prediction about 25% for the cases of S1     

Uncertainty Study of Bd（Bs）→γvv Decays

B^0（Bs）→γvv decays are useful to determining the decay constants fB（fBs） and B（Bs） meson wave function. Using the B meson wave function determined in hadronic B（Bs） decays, we study the uncertainties due to the types of B meson wave functions. We find that the branching ratios are sensitive to the type of wave functions and input parameters, but the energy spectrum is independent. The predicted branching ratios are （0.45-1.04）×10^-9 and （2.14-3.27）×10^-8 for B^0 and Bs decay, respectively.     

The study of B→K()l+l- decays in family non-universal Z' models

In a combined investigation of B→K^(*)l⁺l^- decays, constraints on the related couplings in family non-universal Z' models are derived. We find that within the allowed parameter space, the recently observed forward-backward asymmetry in the B→K^(*)l⁺l^- decay can be explained by flipping the signs of the Wilson coefficients C₉^eff and C₁₀. With the obtained constraints, we also calculate the branching ratio of the B_s→μ⁺μ^- decay. The upper bound of our prediction is nearly an order of magnitude smaller than the upper bound given by the CDF Collaboration recently.     

Analysis of B → a_1(1260)(b_1(1235))K decays in the perturbative QCD approach

Within the framework of the perturbative quantum chromodynamics(PQCD) approach, we study the charmless two-body decays B → a_1(1260)K*, b_1(1235)K*. Using the decay constants and the light-cone distribution amplitudes for these mesons derived from the QCD sum rule method, we find the following results.(a) Our predictions for the branching ratios are consistent with the QCD factorization(QCDF) results within errors, but much larger than the naive factorization approach calculation values.(b) We predict that the anomalous polarizations occurring in the decays B→φK*, ρK*also happen in B→a_1 K*decays, while they do not happen in B→b_1 K*decays. Here the contributions from the annihilation diagrams play an important role in explaining the larger transverse polarizations in the B→a_1 K*decays, while they are not sensitive to the polarizations for the B→b_1 K*decays.(c) Our predictions for the direct C P-asymmetries agree well with the QCDF results within errors. The decaysˉB~0→b_1_+K*-, B-→b_1~0K*-have larger direct C P-asymmetries, which could be measured by the present LHCb experiment and the forthcoming Super-B experiment.     

Rare semileptonic decays of heavy mesons in the heavy quark limit

We study the branching ratios of D+→D0e+ν,DS+→D0e+ν,BS0→B+e-ν,DS+→D+e-e+ and BS0→B0e-e+ rare semileptonic decay processes,which are induced by decays of light quarks,the heavy quarks remain unchanged.The branching ratios of these decay processes are estimated in the heavy quark limit and with SU(3) flavor symmetry.We find that the decay rates are very tiny in the framework of the Standard Model.We also estimate the sensitivities of the measurements of these rare decays at the future experiments,such as BES-Ⅲ,super-B and LHC-b.Observations of these decays may shed some light on new physics beyond the standard model.     

Pure annihilation decays of B_s~0→a_0~+a_0~- and B_d~0→K_0~(*+)K_0~(*-) in the PQCD approach

We study the CP-averaged branching fractions and the CP-violating asymmetries in the pure annihilation decays ofB _s~0→a_0~+a _0~-andB _d~0→K_0~(*+)K_0~(*-),where a_0[K_0~*]denotes the scalar a_0(980) and a_0(1450)[K_0~*(800)(ork)and K_0~*(1430)],with the perturbative QCD factorization approach under the assumption of two-quark structure for the a_0and K_0~*states.The numerical results show that the branching ratios of theB _d~0→K_0~(*+)K_0~(*-)decays are in the order of 10~(-6),while the decay rates of theB_s~0→a_0~+a _0~-modes are in the order of 10~(-5).In light of the measured modes with the same quark components in the pseudoscalar sector,namely,B _d~0→K~+K~-and B_s~0→p p~(+-),the predictions for the considered decay modes in this work are expected to be measured at the Large Hadron Collider beauty and/or Belle-Ⅱ experiments in the (near) future.Meanwhile,it is of great interest to find that the twist-3 distribution amplitudes φ~S and φ~T with inclusion of the Gegenbauer polynomials for the scalar a_0(1450) and K_0~*(1430)states in scenario2 contribute slightly to the branching ratios while significantly to the CP violations in the B_d~0→K_0~*(14 30)~+K_0*(14 30)~-and B_s~0→a_0(1450)~+a_0(1450)~-decays,which indicates that,compared to the asymptotic φ~Sand φ~T,these Gegenbauer polynomials could change the strong phases evidently in these pure annihilation decay channels.These predictions await for the future confirmation experimentally,which could further provide useful information to help explore the inner structure of the scalars and shed light on the annihilation decay mechanism.     

Can contributions to B_s→l＋l-γ from the magnetic-penguin operator with real photons in the standard model be neglected？

Using the Bs meson wave function extracted from non-leptonic Bs decays, we reevaluate the rare decays Bs→l＋l- γ,（l=e,μ） in the Standard Model, including two kinds of contributions from the magnetic-penguin operator with virtual and real photons. We find that contributions to the exclusive decays from the magnetic-penguin operator b→sγ with real photons, which were regarded as negligible in the previous literature, are large and the branching ratios Bs→l＋l-γ are enhanced by a factor of almost 2. With the predicted branching ratios of the order of 10-8, it is expected that these radiative dileptonic decays will be detected in LHC-b and B factories in the near future.     

Investigation on effects of new physics in c→(s,d)?~+ν_? transitions

Anomalies in decays induced by b→cl~-v_l(l=e,μ,τ) transitions may imply lepton flavor universality violations,which raises questions on such phenomena in the D decays induced by c→(s,d)l~+v_l transitions.Current measurements of the pure leptonic and semi-leptonic D decays agree with the standard model(SM) predictions,and such agreements can be used to constrain the new physics(NP) contributions.In this work,we extend SM by assuming general effective Hamiltonians describing the c→(s,d)l~+v_l transitions including the full set of the four-fermion operators.With the latest experimental data,we perform a least χ~2 fit of the Wilson coefficient corresponding to each operator.The results indicate that the Wilson coefficients of tensor and scalar operators in the muon sector are in the order of O(10~(-2)) while others are in the order of O(10~(-3)).The lepton flavor universality could be violated by interactions with the scalar operators.We also determine that the pure leptonic decays are significantly sensitive to scalar operators.The effects of NP on the semi-leptonic decays with electron final state are negligible;however,for the decays with the muon final state,the effects of scalar and tensor operators will appear in the forward-backward asymmetries and the muon helicity asymmetries of D→P_μ+v_μ decays.The future measurements of these decays in the BE SⅢ and Belle Ⅱ experiments will facilitate the evaluation of NP effects.     

Study of D_s~±→μ~±V_μ at Belle

We present a preliminary measurement of the B(D_s→μν_μ)with the Belle experiment at the KEKB collider.We select D~s→μV_μdecays with a method that provides a high-purity of the selected sample and an absolute measurement of the branching fraction.The results are based on a data sample of 550 fb~(-1)and are compared to similar measurements by other experiments as well as to the predictions of LQCD.We conclude with short prospects for improvements in the accuracy of the measurement.
