Decays $D^+_{(s)}\to π(K)^{+}\ell^+\ell^-$ and $D^0\to \ell^+\ell^-$ in the MSSM with and without R-parity

We study the rare decays $D^+\to π^{+}\ell^+\ell^-$, $D^+_s\to K^{+}\ell^+\ell^-$ and $D^0\to \ell^+\ell^-(\ell=e,μ)$ in the minimal supersymmetic standard model with and without R-parity. Using the strong constraints on relevant supersymmetric parameters from $D^0-\bar{D}^0$ mixing and $K^+\to π^+ν\barν$ decay, we examine constrained supersymmetry contributions to relevant branching ratios, direct CP violations and ratios of $D^+_{(s)}\to π(K)^{+}μ^+μ^-$ and $D^+_{(s)}\to π(K)^{+}e^+e^-$ decay rates. We find that both R-parity conserving LR as well as RL mass insertions and R-parity violating squark exchange couplings have huge effects on the direct CP violations of $D^+_{(s)}\to π(K)^{+}\ell^+\ell^-$, moreover, the constrained LR and RL mass insertions still have obvious effects on the ratios of $D^+_{(s)}\to π(K)^{+}μ^+μ^-$ and $D^+_{(s)}\to π(K)^{+}e^+e^-$ decay rates. The direct CP asymmetries and the ratios of $D^+_{(s)}\to π(K)^{+}μ^+μ^-$ and $D^+_{(s)}\to π(K)^{+}e^+e^-$ decay rates are very sensitive to both moduli and phases of relevant supersymmetric parameters. In addition, the differential direct CP asymmetries of $D^+_{(s)}\to π(K)^{+}\ell^+\ell^-$ are studied in detail.

Phenomenological discriminations of the Yukawa interactions in two-Higgs doublet models with $Z_2$ symmetry

There are four types of two-Higgs doublet models under a discrete $Z_2$ symmetry imposed to avoid tree-level flavour-changing neutral current, i.e. type-I, type-II, type-X and type-Y models. We investigate the possibility to discriminate the four models in the light of the flavour physics data, including $B_s-\bar B_s$ mixing, $B_{s,d} \to μ^+ μ^-$, $B\to τν$ and $\bar B \to X_s γ$ decays, the recent LHC Higgs data, the direct search for charged Higgs at LEP, and the constraints from perturbative unitarity and vacuum stability. After deriving the combined constraints on the Yukawa interaction parameters, we have shown that the correlation between the mass eigenstate rate asymmetry $A_{ΔΓ}$ of $B_{s} \to μ^+ μ^-$ and the ratio $R={\cal B}(B_{s} \to μ^+ μ^-)_{exp}/ {\cal B}(B_{s} \to μ^+ μ^-)_{SM}$ could be sensitive probe to discriminate the four models with future precise measurements of the observables in the $B_{s} \to μ^+ μ^-$ decay at LHCb.

A Comprehensive Analysis of Hadronic b->s Transitions in a Family Non-universal Z' Model

Motivated by the latest improved measurements of B-meson decays, we make a comprehensive analysis of the impact of a family non-universal $Z^{\prime}$ boson on $B_s-\bar{B}_s$ mixing and two-body hadronic B-meson decays, all being characterized by the quark-level $b\to s$ transition. Explicitly 22 decay modes and the related 52 observables are considered, and some interesting correlations between them are also carefully examined. Firstly, the allowed oases of $b-s-Z^{\prime}$ coupling parameters $|B^{L,R}_{sb}|$ and $ϕ^{L,R}_s$ are extracted from $B_s-\bar{B}_s$ mixing. Then, in the "SM limit"~({\it i.e.,} no new types of $Z^{\prime}$-induced four-quark operators arise compared to the SM case), we study the $Z^{\prime}$ effects on $B\toπK$, $πK^{\ast}$ and $ρK$ decays. It is found that a new weak phase $ϕ^{L}_s\sim -90^{\circ}$ is crucial for resolving the observed "$πK$ CP puzzle" and the allowed oases of the other $Z^{\prime}$ coupling parameters are also strongly restricted. Moreover, the $Z^{\prime}$ effects on $\bar{B}_s\to K K$, $K K^{\ast}$ and $π^0 ϕ$ decays, being induced by the same quark-level $b\to s q\bar{q}~(q=u,d)$ transitions, are also investigated. Especially, it is found that the decay $\bar{B}_s \to π^0 ϕ$, once measured, would play a key role in revealing the observed "$πK$ CP puzzle" and probing possible new physics hints. Finally, to check the non-universality of $Z^{\prime}$ couplings to light-quark pairs, we have studied the $B\to ϕK$ decays in detail and found that the left-handed $s-s-Z^{\prime}$ coupling is different from the $d-d-Z^{\prime}$ one, which is due to the large $A_{CP}^{dir}(B^-\toϕK^-)$ reported by the BaBar collaboration.

Exclusive radiative B-meson decays within minimal flavour violating 2HDMs

In the "Higgs basis" for a generic 2HDM, only one doublet gets a nonzero vacuum expectation value and, under the criterion of minimal flavour violation, the other one is fixed to be either colour-singlet or colour-octet, referred respectively as the type-III and the type-C model. Both of them can naturally avoid large FCNC transitions and provide very interesting phenomena in some low-energy processes. In this paper, we study their effects on exclusive radiative B-meson decays due to the exchange of colourless or coloured charged Higgs. It is found that, while constraints from the branching ratios are slightly weaker than the ones from the inclusive $B\to X_{s} γ$ decay, the isospin asymmetries in exclusive decays provide very complementary bounds on the model parameters. As the two models predict similar corrections to the dipole coefficient $C_7^{\rm eff}$ whereas similar magnitudes but with opposite signs to $C_8^{\rm eff}$, the branching ratios cannot discriminate the two models, and we have to resort to the direct CP and isospin asymmetries of $b\to s$ processes, which are more sensitive to $C_8^{\rm eff}$. Due to the CKM factors $|λ_u^{(d)}|\sim|λ_t^{(d)}|$, the terms proportional to $λ_u^{(d)}$ make the observables of $b\to d$ processes exhibit a different dependence on the possible new physics phase. In addition, correlations between the various observables in the exclusive $B\to Vγ$ and the inclusive $B\to X_{s,d}γ$ decays are investigated, which could provide further insights into the models with more precise experimental measurements and theoretical predictions for these decays.

CP violation induced by the interference of scalar and vector resonances in three-body decays of bottom mesons

Large CP violation is an interesting phenomenon both theoretically and experimentally. Last year, LHCb Collaboration found in some three-body decays of bottom mesons that large CP violations appear in regions of the Dalitz plots that are not dominated by contributions from narrow resonances. In this paper, we present a mechanism which can induce such kind of large CP violations. In this mechanism, large localized CP asymmetries in phase space can be induced by the interference of two intermediate resonances with different spins. We also apply this mechanism to the decay channel $B^\pm\to K^\pm π^+π^-$.

Constraints on anomalous $tcZ$ coupling from $\bar B \to \bar K^* μ^+ μ^-$ and $B_s \to μ^+ μ^-$ decays

In this paper, we analyze the possible anomalous $tcZ$ coupling effects in the $b \to s $ mediated decays $\bar B \to \bar K^* μ^+ μ^-$ and $B_s \to μ^+ μ^-$. After exploiting the available experimental data, the combined constraints on the anomalous coupling $X_{ct}^L$ are derived. It is found that, the bound on the magnitude $|X_{ct}^L|$ is dominated by the branching ratios of these two decays. Furthermore, one sign-flipped solution is excluded by the longitudinal fraction of $\bar B \to \bar K^* μ^+ μ^-$ at the low dilepton mass region. After considering the combined constraints, for general complex coupling $X_{ct}^L$, the predicted upper bound on $\mathcal B (t \to cZ)$ are compatible with that from the recent CMS direct search. In particular, for the case of real coupling $X_{ct}^L$, the upper bound reads $\mathcal B (t \to cZ)<1.0\times 10^{-4}$, which is much lower than the current CMS bound but still accessible at the LHC. With improved measurements at the LHC, the colser correlations between the $t \to cZ$ and $b \to s$ mediated (semi-) leptonic decays are expected in the near future.

CP violation in $B^{\pm} \rightarrow π^{\pm}π^{+}π^{-}$ in the region with low invariant mass of one $π^{+}π^{-}$ pair

Recently, the large CP asymmetries in $B^\pm\toπ^\pmπ^+π^-$ decays were found by the LHCb Collaboration to localize in the region $m_{π^+π^-}^2<0.4 \text{GeV}^2$. We find such large localized CP asymmetries may be due to the interference between a light scalar and $ρ^0(770)$ intermediate resonances. Consequently, we argue that the distribution of CP asymmetries in the Dalitz plots of three-body B decays could be very helpful for identifying the presence of the scalar resonance.

Production of charged $ρ$ meson in bottom hadron charmed decays and the effect of the finite width correction of the $ρ$ meson

We calculate the branching ratio of a bottom hadron decaying into a charmed hadron and a charged $ρ$ meson within the QCD factorization approach. We consider the effect of the finite width correction of the $ρ$ meson. Our numerical calculation shows an obvious correction because of this effect. We find that the finite width effect of the $ρ$ meson reduces the branching ratios by about 9% to 11% for bottom meson decay channels: $B^+\to\bar{D^0}ρ^+$, $B^0\to D^-ρ^+$, and $B^0_s\to D^-_sρ^+$, and increases the branching ratio by about 10% for $Λ_b^0\toΛ_c^+ρ^-$.

Revisiting the Annihilation Corrections in Non-leptonic $\bar{B}_s^0$ Decays within QCD Factorization

Motivated by the recent measurements of non-leptonic $\bar{B}_s^0$ decays by CDF and LHCb collaborations, especially the large ${\cal B}(\bar{B}_s^0\toπ^+π^-)$, we revisit the hard spectator and annihilation corrections in $\bar{B}_s^0$ decays within QCD factorization approach with two schemes for the possible parameters for the known end-point divergence appeared in the estimation of the hard spectator and annihilation diagrams. The first one is to conservatively estimate the possible contributions by parameterization (scheme I); another one uses an infrared finite gluon propagator (scheme II) to regulate the end-point singularity. In scheme I, with the constraints from the measured $\bar{B}_s^0\to PP (VV)$ decays, two (four) restricted solutions of the parameters spaces are found. In scheme II, we find that most of the theoretical predictions agree well with the experimental data with single parameter $m_{g}\sim 0.5{\rm GeV}$. However, within both schemes, ${\cal B}(\bar{B}_s^0\toϕϕ)$ are always much larger than ${\cal B}(\bar{B}_s^0\to K^{\ast 0}\bar{K}^{\ast 0})$ in contrast to the experimental results ${\cal B}(\bar{B}_s^0\toϕϕ)\simeq{\cal B}(\bar{B}_s^0\to K^{\ast 0}\bar{K}^{\ast 0})$. It is noted that the pattern ${\cal B}(\bar{B}_s^0\toϕϕ)>{\cal B}(\bar{B}_s^0\to K^{\ast 0}\bar{K}^{\ast 0})$ also persists in other theoretical framework, thus the present experimental result ${\cal B}(\bar{B}_s^0\toϕϕ) \simeq {\cal B}(\bar{B}_s^0\to K^{\ast 0}\bar{K}^{\ast 0})$ rises a challenge to theoretical approaches for B non-leptonic decays. Further refined measurements and theoretical studies are called for to resolve such a possible anomaly.

Revisiting B_s\toμ^+μ^- and B\to K^{(*)}μ^+μ^- decays in the MSSM with and without R-parity

The rare decays B_s -> μ^+μ^- and B -> K^{(*)}μ^+μ^- are sensitive to new particles and couplings via their interferences with the standard model contributions. Recently, the upper bound on B(B_s -> μ^+μ^-) has been improved significantly by the CMS, LHCb, CDF, and DØ experiments. Combining with the measurements of B(B-> K^{(*)}μ^+μ^-), we derive constraints on the relevant parameters of minimal supersymmetic standard model with and without R-parity, and examine their contributions to the dimuon forward-backward asymmetry in B-> K^{*}μ^+μ^- decay. We find that (i) the contribution of R-parity violating coupling products λ^{\prime}_{2i2}λ^{\prime*}_{2i3} due to squark exchange is comparable with the theoretical uncertainties in B-> K μ^+μ^- decay, but still could be significant in B-> K^{*}μ^+μ^- decay and could account for the forward-backward asymmetry in all dimuon invariant mass regions; (ii) the constrained mass insertion (δ^{u}_{LL})_{23} could have significant contribution to dA_{FB}(B-> K^{*}μ^+μ^-)/ds, and such effects are favored by thr recent results of the Belle, CDF, and LHCb experiments.

Anomalous $tqZ$ coupling effects in rare B- and K-meson decays

As a top-factory, the LHC is performing a direct study of top-quark anomalous FCNC couplings, which are, however, correlated closely with the rare B- and K-meson decays. In this paper, we study the effects of anomalous $tqZ$ (with $q=u,c$) couplings in the rare decays $B_{s,d}\to μ^+μ^-$, $B\to X_s ν\barν$, $B\to K^{(*)}ν\barν$, $K^+\to π^+ ν\barν$, and $K_L\to π^0 ν\barν$. With the up-to-date experimental bounds on the branching ratios of these channels, constraints on the left-handed anomalous couplings $X_{ct}^L$ and $X_{ut}^L$ are derived, respectively. With these low-energy constraints taken into account, we find that, for real couplings $X_{ct}^L$ and $X_{ut}^L$, the indirect upper bounds on $\mathcal B(t\to qZ)$ are much lower than that from the D0 collaboration, but are still compatible with the $5σ$ discovery potential of ATLAS with an integrated luminosity of $10 {\rm fb}^{-1}$. With refined measurements to be available at the LHCb, the future super-B factories, the NA62 at CERN, and the KOTO at J-PARC, closer correlations between the $t\to qZ$ and the rare B- and K-meson decays are expected in the near future, which will be helpful for the searches of the top-quark FCNC decays at the LHC.

Implications of the Anomalies in B_s^0-\bar{B}_s^0 Mixing for Anomalous Tensor Couplings

Motivated by the recently observed anomalous large dimuon charge asymmetry in neutral B decays and the unexpected large CP phase in the mixing-induced CP asymmetry for B_s-->J/ψϕdecay, we study the effects of the anomalous tensor couplings to pursue possible solution. With the constraints from the obsevables ϕ^{J/ψϕ}_s, a_{sl}^s and ΔM_s, the parameter spaces are severely restricted. Numerically, we find the anomalies in B_s^0-\bar{B}_s^0 mixing system could be moderated simultaneously by the contributions induced by the color-singlet or color-octet tensor operators with their respective nontrivial new weak phase ϕ_{T1}\approx28.0(15.6) degree or ϕ_{T8}\approx-62.1(-74.2) degree and relevant strength parameters g_{T1}\approx6.7(8.5)\times10^{-2} or g_{T8}\approx1.9(2.4)\times10^{-2} for the CP-violating phase ϕ^{J/ψϕ}_s=-0.77(+0.29,-0.37)(-2.36(+0.37,-0.29)), respectively.

Anomalous $tqγ$ coupling effects in exclusive radiative B-meson decays

The top-quark FCNC processes will be searched for at the CERN LHC, which are correlated with the B-meson decays. In this paper, we study the effects of top-quark anomalous interactions $tqγ$ in the exclusive radiative $B\to K^*γ$ and $B\toργ$ decays. With the current experimental data of the branching ratios, the direct CP and the isospin asymmetries, bounds on the coupling $κ_{tcR}^γ$ from $B\to K^*γ$ and $κ_{tuR}^γ$ from $B\to ργ$ decays are derived, respectively. The bound on $|κ_{tcR}^γ|$ from ${\mathcal B}(B\to K^{*}γ)$ is generally compatible with that from ${\mathcal B}(B\to X_{s}γ)$. However, the isospin asymmetry $Δ(K^{*}γ)$ further restrict the phase of $κ_{tcR}^γ$, and the combined bound results in the upper limit, $\mathcal B(t\to cγ)<0.21%$, which is lower than the CDF result. For real $κ_{tcR}^γ$, the upper bound on $\mathcal B(t\to cγ)$ is about of the same order as the $5σ$ discovery potential of ATLAS with an integrated luminosity of $10 {\rm fb}^{-1}$. For $B\toργ$ decays, the NP contribution is enhanced by a large CKM factor $|V_{ud}/V_{td}|$, and the constraint on $tuγ$ coupling is rather restrictive, $\mathcal B(t\to uγ)<1.44\times 10^{-5}$. With refined measurements to be available at the LHCb and the future super-B factories, we can get close correlations between $B\to V γ$ and the rare $t\to qγ$ decays, which will be studied directly at the LHC ATLAS and CMS.

Studying of B_s^0-\bar{B}_s^0 mixing and B_{s}\to K^{(*)-}K^{(*)+} decays within supersymmetry

Recent results from CDF and DØ collaborations favor a large CP asymmetry in B_s^0-\bar{B}_s^0 mixing, while the standard model prediction is very small. Such a large phase may imply sizable new physics effects in B_s^0-\bar{B}_s^0 mixing. We compute the gluino-mediated supersymmetry contributions to B_s^0-\bar{B}_s^0 mixing, B_s->K^{(*)-}K^{(*)+} and B->X_sγdecays in the frame of the mass insertion approximation. Combining the constraints of \DeltaM_s, ΔΓ_s, ϕ^{J/ψϕ}_s, B(B_s->K^{-}K^{+}) and B(B->X_s γ), we find that the effects of the constrained LL and RR insertions in B_s->K^{(*)-}K^{(*)+} decays are small because of the absence of gluino mass enhancement. For m^2_{\tilde{g}}/m^2_{\tilde{q}}=9, the constrained LR insertion can provide sizable contributions to all observables of B_s->K^{(*)-}K^{(*)+} decays except A^{dir}_{CP}(B_s->K^{-}K^{+}), and many observables are sensitive to the modulus and the phase of the LR insertion parameter. Near future experiments at Fermilab Tevatron and CERN LHC-b can test these predictions and shrink/reveal the mass insertion parameter spaces.

Determination of the strong coupling $g_{B^* Bπ}$ from semi-leptonic $B\to π\ell ν$ decay

According to heavy-meson chiral perturbation theory, the vector form factor $f_+(q^2)$ of exclusive semi-leptonic decay $B\to π\ell ν$ is closely related, at least in the soft-pion region (i.e., $q^{2} \sim (m_B-m_π)^2$), to the strong coupling $g_{B^* Bπ}$ or the normalized coupling $\hat g$. Combining the precisely measured $q^2$ spectrum of $B\to π\ell ν$ decay by the BaBar and Belle collaborations with several parametrizations of the form factor $f_+(q^2)$, we can extract these couplings from the residue of the form factor at the $B^*$ pole, which relies on an extrapolation of the form factor from the semi-leptonic region to the unphysical point $q^2=m_{B^*}^2$. Comparing the extracted values with the other experimental and theoretical estimates, we can test these various form-factor parametrizations, which differ from each other by the amount of physical information embedded in. It is found that the extracted values based on the BK, BZ and BCL parametrizations are consistent with each other and roughly in agreement with the other theoretical and lattice estimates, while the BGL ansatz, featured by a spurious, unwanted pole at the threshold of the cut, gives a neatly larger value.

The effects of a family non-universal Z-prime boson on B--->pipi decays

Motivated by the measured large branching ratio of $\bar{B}^{0}\toπ^0π^0$ (the so-called "$ππ$" puzzle), we investigate the effects of a family non-universal $Z^{\prime}$ model on the tree-dominated $B\toππ$ decays. We find that the $Z^{\prime}$ coupling parameter $ζ_{d}^{LR}\sim0.05$ with a nontrivial new weak phase $ϕ_d^L\sim-50^{\circ}$, which is relevant to the $Z^{\prime}$ contributions to the QCD penguin sector $\triangle C_5$, is needed to reconcile the observed discrepancy. Combined with the recent fitting results from $B\toπK$, $πK^{\ast}$ and $ρK$ decays, the $Z^{\prime}$ parameter spaces are severely reduced but still not excluded entirely, implying that both the "$ππ$" and "$πK$" puzzles could be accommodated simultaneously within such a family non-universal $Z^{\prime}$ model.

B -> Xsγconstraints on the top quark anomalous t-> cγcoupling

Observation of top quark flavor changing neutral process $t\to c +γ$ at the LHC would be the signal of physics beyond the Standard Model. If anomalous $t\to cγ$ coupling exists, it will affect the precisely measured $\mathcal{B}(\bar{B} \to X_s γ)$. In this paper, we study the effects of a dimension 5 anomalous $ tc γ$ operator in $\bar{B} \to X_s γ$ decay to derive constraints on its possible strength. It is found that, for real anomalous $t\to cγ$ coupling $κ_{\rm{tcR}}^γ$, the constraints correspond to the upper bounds $\mathcal B (t \to c + γ)<6.54 \times 10^{-5}$ (for $κ_{\rm{tcR}}^γ>0$) and $\mathcal B (t \to c + γ)<8.52 \times 10^{-5}$ (for $κ_{\rm{tcR}}^γ<0$), respectively, which are about the same order as the $5σ$ discovery potential of ATLAS ($9.4\times 10^{-5}$) and slightly lower than that of CMS ($4.1\times 10^{-4}$) with $10 \ \rm{fb}^{-1}$ integrated luminosity operating at $\sqrt{s} =14$ TeV.

Constraints on B--->pi,K transition form factors from exclusive semileptonic D-meson decays

According to the heavy-quark flavour symmetry, the $B\to π, K$ transition form factors could be related to the corresponding ones of D-meson decays near the zero recoil point. With the recent precisely measured exclusive semileptonic decays $D \to π\ell ν$ and $D\to K \ell ν$, we perform a phenomenological study of $B \to π, K$ transition form factors based on this symmetry. Using BK, BZ and Series Expansion parameterizations of the form factor slope, we extrapolate $B \to π, K$ transition form factors from $q^{2}_{max}$ to $q^{2}=0$. It is found that, although being consistent with each other within error bars, the central values of our results for $B \to π, K$ form factors at $q^2=0$, $f_+^{B\to π, K}(0)$, are much smaller than predictions of the QCD light-cone sum rules, but are in good agreements with the ones extracted from hadronic B-meson decays within the SCET framework. Moreover, smaller form factors are also favored by the QCD factorization approach for hadronic B-meson decays.
