Abstract
In recent years, the experimental results about the ratio of the branching ratios R_{D^{(*)}} and R_{K^{(*)}}, which are in the semileptonic brightarrow c l bar{nu }_{l} and brightarrow s l^+l^- decays, have been observed to deviate from the Standard Model prediction by 1.4sigma , 2.5sigma , 2.4sigma and 2.2sigma respectively. Motivated by these anomalies and by the abundant B^* data samples, we investigate possible New Physics effects of the vector leptoquark in the semileptonic decay bar{B}^*_{u,d,s,c} rightarrow V tau ^-bar{nu }_{tau } (V=D^*_{u,d,s},J/psi ). which is induced by brightarrow c tau ^-bar{nu }_{tau } at the quark level. Using the best fit solutions for the new operator Wilson coefficients and the relevant form factors which are obtained in the light-front quark model, we find that (i) the contributions of the vector leptoquark to d{varGamma }^{(L)}/dq^2(bar{B}^*_{u,d,s,c} rightarrow V tau ^-bar{nu }_{tau }) and R^{*(L)}_{V}(q^2) to be significant; (ii) the two best fit solutions in the vector leptoquark are indistinguishable from each other and give similar amounts of enhancements to these two observables; (iii) both two cases of the vector leptoquark give nearly same results as those of the Standard Model for A_{FB}^{tau }(q^2) , P_{tau }(q^2) and F_{L}^{*V}(q^2). We hope that the numerical results in this work will be tested in the future high energy experiments.
Highlights
standard model (SM) predictions and the corresponding experimental values of various lepton nonuniversality (LNU) observables with their deviations are listed in the Table 1
We note that the New Physics (NP) coupling parameters VL, VR, SL, SR and T characterizing the NP contributions coming from the new vector, scalar and tensor NP operators are associated with left handed neutrino and these NP coupling parameters are all zero in the SM
The deviations of RD(∗)(K (∗)), RJ/ and FLD∗ between the experimental measurements and relevant SM predictions imply that NP may appear in the B meson decay processes
Summary
SM predictions and the corresponding experimental values of various lepton nonuniversality (LNU) observables with their deviations are listed in the Table 1. After considering the constraints from both the experimental results of RD(∗) anomalies and the contributions of a vector LQ to the B → D(∗)τ ντ process, two best-fit solutions which are denoted as RA and RB are found for the operator coefficients and given in the Ref. Using the best fit solutions for the Wilson coefficients of the new operator by the current data of meson decays and the relevant form factors resulted in the light-front quark model, we will investigate the contribution of vector LQ to some q2 dependent observables, such as the differential branching fraction d Br (L)/dq, the ratio of the branching fraction RV∗(L)(q2), the lepton forward-backward asymmetry.
