New physics contributions to $\bar{B}_s \rightarrow π^0(ρ^0 )\,η^{(')} $ decays

Abstract

The decay modes $\bar{B}_s \rightarrow π^0(ρ^0 )\,η^{(')} $ are dominated by electroweak penguins that are small in the standard model. In this work we investigate the contributions to these penguins from a model with an additional $U(1)'$ gauge symmetry and show there effects on the branching ratios of $\bar{B}_s \rightarrow π^0(ρ^0 )\,η^{(')} $. In a scenario of the model, where $Z^\prime$ couplings to the left-handed quarks vanish, we show that the maximum enhancement occurs in the branching ratio of $\bar B^0_s\to \,π^0\,η'$ where it can reach $6$ times the SM prediction. On the other hand, in a scenario of the model where $Z^\prime$ couplings to both left-handed and right-handed quarks do not vanish, we find that $Z^\prime$ contributions can enhance the branching ratio of $B^0_s\to\,ρ^0\,η$ up to one order of magnitude comparing to the SM prediction for several sets of the parameter space where both $ ΔM_{B_s}$ and $S_{ψϕ}$ constraints are satisfied. This kind of enhancement occurs for a rather fine-tuned point where $ ΔM_{B_s}$ constraint on $\mid S_{SM} (B_s) + S_{Z'} (B_s)\mid $ is fulfilled by overcompensating the SM via $S_{Z'} (B_s) \simeq -2 S_{SM} (B_s)$.
