Rates and asymmetries ofBπ+decays

Abstract: The LHCb experiment observed B + → π + µ + µ − decay with 1.0 fb −1 data, which is the first measurement of a flavor changing neutral current b → dℓ + ℓ − decay (ℓ = e, µ). Based on QCD factorization, we give Standard Model predictions for the branching ratios, direct CP asymmetries, and isospin asymmetry for B → πℓ + ℓ − decays, in the kinematic region where the dilepton invariant mass is small. We find that the contribution from weak annihilation enhances the direct CP asymmetry for low ℓ + ℓ − pair mass. An… Show more

“…The prediction for the decay branching fraction B ± → π ± μ + μ − is in good agreement with experimental data from [1] within the measurement errors. The theoretical calculations performed for the branching fractions in [20,21] and based on approaches different from that adopted here agree with our predictions within the quoted errors.…”
