Z-mediated charge and CP asymmetries and FCNCs in $B_{d,s}$ processes

Jose Piñero et al.Jun 27, 2010
We show model-independently that the negative like-sign charge asymmetry$(-A^b_{s\ell})$ is less than $ 3.16\times 10^{-3}$ when the constraints fromthe $B_q-\bar B_q$ mixings and the time-dependent CP asymmetries (CPAs) for$B_q\to J/\Psi M_q$ with $M_q=K,\phi$ and $q=d,s$ are taken into account.Although the result is smaller than the measured value by the D{\O}Collaboration at Fermilab, there is still plenty of room to have new physics,which is sensitive to new CP violating effects, as the standard model (SM)prediction is $(2.3_{-0.5}^{+0.6})\times 10^{-4}$. To illustrate the potentiallarge $|A^{b}_{s\ell}|$, we show the influence of new $SU(2)_L$ singlet exoticquarks in the vector-like quark model, where the $Z$-mediated flavor changingneutral currents (FCNCs) are generated at tree level. In particular, wedemonstrate that (a) the like-sign charge asymmetry could be enhanced by afactor of two in magnitude; (b) the CPA of $\sin2\beta^{J/\Psi \phi}_s$ couldreach to $-15%$; (c) the CPA of $\sin2\beta_{\phi K_S}$ could be higher than$\sin2\beta_{J/\Psi K_S}$ when $|A^b_{s\ell}|$ is larger than the SMprediction; and (d) the branching ratio for $B_s\to \mu^+ \mu^-$ could be aslarge as $0.6\times 10^{-8}$.
