Bs →φπ^0 Decay in the Extra Down-Type Quark Model

Using the QCD factorization approach, we investigate the electro-weak penguin dominated process 13~ --, q57r~ in the extra down-type quark （EDQS） model. We calculate the effects of new physics （NP） on the branching fraction and direct CP asymmetry of the decay mode. It is found that the branching fraction can be increased by 15~o points or dropped by 13~o points than the standard model （SM） value, and its direct CP asymmetry can be increased by 35% points or dropped by 37% points than the SM one. The effects of NP on the direct CP asymmetry are more obvious than on the branching fraction. If this decay mode could be measured in the upcoming LHCb experiment, these results we obtain will be useful for further studies of the EDQS model.     

Lepton Polarization Asymmetry in B → e^＋e^- Decay beyond the Standard Model

The lepton polarization asymmetry in the B → e^＋e^- decay, when one of the leptons is polarized, is investigated by using the most general form of the effective Hamiltonian. We find allowed regions for the new scalar Wilson coefficients, assuming that the experimental branching ratio is measured within 10% percent uncertainty. Then using these restrictions to the new coefficients the sensitivity of the lepton polarization asymmetry to them is studied. Moreover, it is observed that there are regions of terms describing the scalar interactions, where lepton polarization asymmetry differs from zero, which can serve as a good test for searching new physics beyond the standard model.     

Supersymmetric contributions to B_s → K~-π~＋ decay

Recently,the CDF Collaboration has measured the branching fraction and time-integrated direct CP asymmetry of Bs → K-π＋ decay.The branching ratio is lower than the previous predictions based on QCD factorization.The experimental results favor a large CP asymmetry in Bs → K-π＋ decay while the standard model prediction is very small.We compute the supersymmetry contributions to Bs → K-π＋ decay using the mass insertion method,and find that the LR and RL mass insertions could suppress this branching ratio and increase this direct CP asymmetry well in line with the experimental data.     

Top rare decays t→cV in mirror twin Higgs models

The decay t→cV(V=γ,Z,g)processes in mirror twin Higgs models with colorless top partners are studied in this paper.We report that the branchi ng ratios of these decays can strongly affect the standard model expectations in some parameter spaces and may be detectable according to the current precision electroweak measurements.Thus,constraints on the model parameters may be obtained from the branching fraction of the decay processes,which may serve as a robust detection tool for this new physics model.     

Polarization in ■ decays

Measurements of decay asymmetry parameters of charmed baryons,e.g.,■,provide more data to test the W-emission and W-exchange mechanisms controlled by strong and weak interactions.Taking advantage of the spin polarization in charmed baryon decays,we investigate the possibility to measure weak decay asymmetry parameters in thee~+e~-→■ process.We analyze the transverse polarization spontaneously produced in this process and the spin transfer in the subsequent ■ decays.The sensitivity to measure the asymmetry parameters is estimated for the decay ■→■.     

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.     

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.     

Exclusive Semileptonic Rare Decays B → K^（＊）e＋e- in a Top Quark Two-Higgs-Doublet Model

Employing improved calculations of the decay form factors from light-cone sum rules, we evaluate the invariant mass spectrum, forward-backward asymmetry, and lepton polarizations of the exclusive processes B → K^（＊）e＋e- in the SM and T2HDM. From the recent measurements of their branching ratios, we find that these processes do provide additional bounds on the new parameters in the model considered here. After the inclusion of the new physics contributions, the large enhancement of FBA, which is unobservably small within the SM and of the lepton polarization at large tan β, may precisely test the SM or reveal new physics in forthcoming accurate experiments.     

The Production of Pseudo Goldstone Boson in Top Quark Rare Decay

We calculate the flavor changing t → cπ0 decay in the framework of the topcolor assisted multiscaletechnicolor model. We find that (a) the branching ratio of t → cπ0 is insensitive to mπ, mπs and mπt, while it increasesquickly as ε increases; (b) for reasonable ranges of the parameters, the maximum of the branching ratio in this modelmay reach 7 × 10-6, seven orders larger compared to the one t → cH0 calculated in the standard model. This mightprovide an opportunity to detect the rare decay of the top quark in experiments.     

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-).     

Effects of the littlest Higgs model on the process e~+ e~- → μ~+ μ~- at a Z~0-factory

We investigate the possibilities of finding the effects of the littlest Higgs (LH) model on the process e + e - →μ + μ - at the leadingorder at a possible Z 0-factory.We study the impacts of the LH model on the observables,such as,the total cross section,the distribution of the transverse momentum of μ-,and the forward-backward charge asymmetry of μin polarized and unpolarized electron-positron collision modes.Besides,we analyze the relations between the observables and the LH model parameters,and discuss the observables of process e + e→μ + μ-in different incoming electron-positron polarization modes.We conclude that one could observe the effects contributed by the LH model on the process e + e-→μ + μin a reasonable parameter space,or might put more stringent constraints on the LH parameters in the future experiments at the possible Z 0-factory.     

Study of the s → dv■ rare hyperon decays in the Standard Model and new physics

FCNC processes offer important tools to test the Standard Model(SM)and to search for possible new physics.In this work,we investigate the s→dvv rare hyperon decays in SM and beyond.We find that in SM the branching ratios for these rare hyperon decays range from 10~(-14) to 10~(-11).When all the errors in the form factors are included,we find that the final branching ratios for most decay modes have an uncertainty of about 5% to 10%.After taking into account the contribution from new physics,the generalized SUSY extension of SM and the minimal 331 model,the decay widths for these channels can be enhanced by a factor of 2～7.     

The littlest Higgs model with T-parity and some lepton flavor violation decay processes

The new particles predicted by the littlest Higgs model with T-parity (called LHT model) can induce the lepton flavor violation (LFV) couplings at the one-loop level,which can add contributions to some LFV processes.Taking into account the constraints of the experimental data on the relevant free parameters,we calculate the branching ratios of the LFV decay processes Z → l ˉl and τ-→μ-P 1 P 2 with P 1 P 2 = π + π-,K + K-,and K0 ˉK 0 in the context of this new physics model.We find that the LHT model can indeed make significant contributions to some of these LFV decay processes.The Z factory option for the future high energy e + e-collider experiments will give severe constraints on the LHT model.     

Muon-pair production in the left-right symmetric model at a Z~0-factory

The potential for probing the impacts of the left-right symmetric model (LRM) on the process e + e-→μ + μ-at a proposed Z 0-factory is investigated.Under different electron-positron polarization collision modes,we calculate and compare the deviations of various observables in the framework of the LRM from the standard model (SM) predictions,such as the total cross section,the distribution of the transverse momentum of μ-,and the forward-backward charge asymmetry of μ-.In addition,we present the relations between the observables and the LRM parameters.We conclude that it is possible to observe the effects of the LRM on the process e + e-→μ + μ-by using optimal observables and favorable parameters at a Z 0-factory.     

Looking for new physics via semi-leptonic and leptonic rare decays of D and D_s

It is well recognized that looking for new physics at lower energy colliders is a path which is complementary to high energy machines such as the LHC.Using the large volume of data collected by BESIII,we may have a unique opportunity to tackle this.In this paper we calculate the branching ratios of the semi-leptonic processes D_s~+ →K~+e~-e~+ and D_s~+ →K~+e~-μ~+,and the leptonic processes D~0→ e~-e~+ and D~0→ e~-μ~+,in the frameworks of the U(1) model,2HDM and unparticle model.It is found that both the U(1) model and 2HDM may influence the semi-leptonic decay rates,but only the U(1) model offers substantial contributions to the pure leptonic decays,and the resultant branching ratio of D~0→e~-μ~+ can be as large as 10~(-7)~10~(-8).This might be observed at the future super τ-charm factory.     

Rapidity dependence of global polarization in heavy ion collisions

We use a geometric model for hadron polarization in heavy ion collisions with an emphasis on the rapidity dependence.The model is based on the model of Brodsky,Gunion,and Kuhn,as well as the Bjorken scaling model.We make predictions regarding the rapidity dependence of global Λ polarization in the collision energy range of 7.7-200 GeV by assuming the rapidity dependence of two parameters,κ and <ρτ>. The predictions can be tested by future beam-energy-scan experiments at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider of Brookhaven National Lab.     

New physical effects on the decay Bs →γγ in the technicolor model

In this paper we calculate the contributions to the branching ratio of Bs →γγ from charged pseudo-Goldstone bosons appearing in the one generation Technicolor model. We find that the theoretical value of the branching ratio, BR（Bs →γγ）, including the contributions of PGBs, P^± and P8^±, is very different from the standard model （SM） prediction. The new physical effects can provide a one to two order of magnitude enhancement of the SM results. It is shown that the decay Bs →γγ can test new physical signals from the technicolor model.
