On new physics in ΔΓ d

Abstract: Motivated by the recent measurement of the dimuon asymmetry by the DØ collaboration, which could be interpreted as an enhanced decay rate difference in the neutral B d -meson system, we investigate the possible size of new-physics contributions to ∆Γ d . In particular, we perform model-independent studies of non-standard effects associated to the dimension-six current-current operators (dp)(p b) with p, p = u, c as well as (db)(τ τ ). In both cases we find that for certain flavour or Lorentz structures of the … Show more

“…An interesting feature of this new interpretation is that a large enhancement of ∆Γ d by new physics effects could explain the experimental value of the dimuon asymmetry, while huge enhancements of the semileptonic CP asymmetries are disfavoured by direct measurements, see next section. The investigation of (Bobeth et al, 2014) has further shown that enhancements of ∆Γ d by several hundred per cent are not excluded by any other experimental constraint -such an enhancement could bring the dimuon asymmetry in agreement with experiment. One possible enhancement mechanism would be e.g.…”

“…Another enhancement mechanism would be new physics effects in tree-level decays, which are typically neglected. Such studies were performed systematically in (Bobeth et al, 2015(Bobeth et al, , 2014Brod et al, 2015) and could also lead to sizable enhancements of ∆Γ d . Here a more precise measurement of ∆Γ d would of course be very helpful.…”

“…III), the absence of new-physics contributions to the tree-level Wilson coefficients of the SM current-current operators has, to our knowledge, hitherto not been questioned in this context. In this article we investigate the experimental bounds on new physics contributions to these Wilson coefficient by extending the set of observables considered in [7,8]. Assuming that the new-physics effects are flavor universal we find that, from a purely phenomenological viewpoint, we cannot exclude shifts in γ of the order of AE4°.…”

“…Performing constraints on the new Z ′ couplings through low-energy precise processes is, on the other hand, very crucial and complementary for these direct searches Z ′ → e + e − at the Tevatron [26]. It is interesting to note that such a family non-universal Z ′ model could bring new CP -violating phases beyond the SM and have a large effect on many FCNC processes [27,28], such as the B s −B s mixing [29][30][31][32][33], as well as some rare [34] and hadronic B−meson decays [35,36].…”
