Scalar Leptoquarks

We present a study on the impact of scalar leptoquarks on the semileptonic decays of Λb, Σb, and Ξb. To this end, we calculate the differential branching ratio and lepton forward-backward asymmetry defining the processes Λb→Λl+l-, Σb→Σl+l-, and Ξb→Ξl+l-, with l being μ or τ, using the form factors calculated via light cone QCD in full theory. In calculations, the errors of form factors are taken into account. We compare the results obtained in leptoquark model with those of the standard model as well as the existing lattice QCD predictions and experimental data.

he quark flavor sector of the Standard Model is a fertile ground to look for new physics effects through a unitarity test of the Cabbibo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix. We present a lattice QCD calculation of the scalar and the vector form factors (over a large q2 region including q2 = 0) associated with the D→ Klv semi-leptonic decay. This calculation will then allow us to determine the central CKM matrix element, Vcs in the Standard Model, by comparing the lattice QCD results for the form factors and the experimental decay rate. This form factor calculation has been performed on the Nf = 2 + 1 + 1 MILC HISQ ensembles with the physical light quark masses.

The Standard Model

Measurements of the branching fractions of the semileptonic decays B → D ( * ) τ ν ¯ τ and B c → J / ψ τ ν ¯ τ systematically exceed the Standard Model predictions, pointing to possible signals of new physics that can violate lepton flavor universality. The unknown origin of new physics realized in these channels can be probed using a general effective Hamiltonian constructed from four-fermion operators and the corresponding Wilson coefficients. Previously, constraints on these Wilson coefficients were obtained mainly from the experimental data for the branching fractions. Meanwhile, polarization observables were only theoretically studied. The situation has changed with more experimental data having become available, particularly those regarding the polarization of the tau and the D * meson. In this study, we discuss the implications of the new data on the overall picture. We then include them in an updated fit of the Wilson coefficients using all hadronic form factors from our covariant constituent quark model. The use of our form factors provides an analysis independent of those in the literature. Several new-physics scenarios are studied with the corresponding theoretical predictions provided, which are useful for future experimental studies. In particular, we find that under the one-dominant-operator assumption, no operator survives at 1 σ . Moreover, the scalar operators O S L and O S R are ruled out at 2 σ if one uses the constraint B ( B c → τ ν τ ) ≤ 10 % , while the more relaxed constraint B ( B c → τ ν τ ) ≤ 30 % still allows these operators at 2 σ , but only minimally. The inclusion of the new data for the D * polarization fraction F L D * reduces the likelihood of the right-handed vector operator O V R and significantly constrains the tensor operator O T L . Specifically, the F L D * alone rules out O T L at 1 σ . Finally, we show that the longitudinal polarization P L τ of the tau in the decays B → D * τ ν ¯ τ and B c → J / ψ τ ν ¯ τ is extremely sensitive to the tensor operator. Within the 2 σ allowed region, the best-fit value T L = 0.04 + i 0.17 predicts P L τ ( D * ) = − 0.33 and P L τ ( J / ψ ) = − 0.34 , which are at about 33% larger than the Standard Model (SM) prediction P L τ ( D * ) = − 0.50 and P L τ ( J / ψ ) = − 0.51 .

We analyze the [Formula: see text] anomalies associated with the [Formula: see text] decays in the unparticle model. The fraction of the branching ratios [Formula: see text] and other parameters related to the polarization are fitted to the experimental data by minimizing [Formula: see text]. The best-fit values are [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] which are still larger than the standard model predictions. We find that our results safely render the branching ratio [Formula: see text] below [Formula: see text].

Recently, the deviation of the ratios [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] have been found between experimental data and the Standard Model predictions, which may be the hint of new physics. In this work, we calculate these ratios within the Standard Model by using the improved instantaneous Bethe–Salpeter method. The emphasis is pad to the relativistic correction of the form factors. The results are [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text], which are consistent with predictions of other models and the experimental data. The semileptonic decay rates and corresponding form factors at zero recoil are also given.

This paper reviews recent results form the NA62 and NA48 experiments at CERN. NA62 has searched for the K → πνν¯ with an in-flight decay technique. The analysis of 1.2 · 1011 decays has found one event compatible with the Standard Model prediction, giving an upper limit for the branching ratio of 1.4 · 10-9 (95% CL) in the background assumption. Prospects for improvements in the measurement are given. Results on the Kl3 decay form factors from NA48/2 are presented as well as the first observation of the decay K± → π ± π0e+e- and the measurement of its branching ratio from the same experiment.

Abstract This article analyses the available inputs in B → πℓνℓ and B → ρℓνℓ decays which include the measured values of differential rate in different q2-bins (lepton invariant mass spectrum), lattice, and the newly available inputs on the relevant form-factors from the light-cone sum rules (LCSR) approach. We define different fit scenarios, and in each of these scenarios, we predict a few observables in the standard model (SM). For example, $$ R(M)=\frac{\mathcal{B}\left(B\to M{\ell}_i{\nu}_{\ell_i}\right)}{\mathcal{B}\left(B\to M{\ell}_j{\nu}_{\ell_j}\right)},{R}_{\ell_j}^{\ell_i}(M)=\frac{\mathcal{B}\left(B\to {\ell}_i{\nu}_{\ell_i}\right)}{\mathcal{B}\left(B\to M{\ell}_j{\nu}_{\ell_j}\right)} $$ R M = B B → M ℓ i ν ℓ i B B → M ℓ j ν ℓ j , R ℓ j ℓ i M = B B → ℓ i ν ℓ i B B → M ℓ j ν ℓ j with M = π or ρ and ℓi,j = e, μ or τ. We also discuss the new physics (NP) sensitivities of all these observables and obtain bounds on a few NP Wilson coefficients in b → uτντ decays using the available data. We have noted that the data at present allows sizeable NP contributions in this mode. Also, we have predicted a few angular observables relevant to these decay modes.

Abstract The NA62 experiment at the CERN SPS reports a study of a sample of 4 × 109 tagged π0 mesons from K+ → π+π0(γ), searching for the decay of the π0 to invisible particles. No signal is observed in excess of the expected background fluctuations. An upper limit of 4.4 × 10−9 is set on the branching ratio at 90% confidence level, improving on previous results by a factor of 60. This result can also be interpreted as a model- independent upper limit on the branching ratio for the decay K+ → π+X, where X is a particle escaping detection with mass in the range 0.110–0.155 GeV/c2 and rest lifetime greater than 100 ps. Model-dependent upper limits are obtained assuming X to be an axion-like particle with dominant fermion couplings or a dark scalar mixing with the Standard Model Higgs boson.

Weak Annihilation

Abstract In this paper we consider the decay D+ → π+ℓ+ℓ−, addressing in particular the resonance contributions as well as the relatively large contributions from the weak annihilation diagrams. For the weak annihilation diagrams we include known results from QCD factorisation at low q2 and at high q2, adapting the existing calculation for B decays in the Operator Product Expansion. The hadronic resonance contributions are obtained through a dispersion relation, modelling the spectral functions as towers of Regge-like resonances in each channel, as suggested by Shifman, imposing the partonic behaviour in the deep Euclidean. The parameters of the model are extracted using e+e− → (hadrons) and τ → (hadrons) + ντ data as well as the branching ratios for the resonant decays D+ → π+R(R → ℓ+ℓ−), with R = ρ, ω, and ϕ. We perform a thorough error analysis, and present our results for the Standard Model differential branching ratio as a function of q2. Focusing then on the observables FH and AFB, we consider the sensitivity of this channel to effects of physics beyond the Standard Model, both in a model independent way and for the case of leptoquarks.

Systematic Uncertainties

Abstract We estimate the form factors that parametrise the hadronic matrix elements of proton-to-pion transitions with the help of light-cone sum rules. These form factors are relevant for semi-leptonic proton decay channels induced by baryon-number violating dimension-six operators, as typically studied in the context of grand unified theories. We calculate the form factors in a kinematical regime where the momentum transfer from the proton to the pion is space-like and extrapolate our final results to the regime that is relevant for proton decay. In this way, we obtain estimates for the form factors that show agreement with the state-of-the-art calculations in lattice QCD, if systematic uncertainties are taken into account. Our work is a first step towards calculating more involved proton decay channels where lattice QCD results are not available at present.

In this paper, we study the [Formula: see text] form-factors with the light-cone QCD sum rules, where the B-meson light-cone distribution amplitudes are used. In calculations, we observe that the line-shapes of the B-meson light-cone distribution amplitude ϕ+(ω) have significant impacts on the values of the form-factors, and expect to obtain severe constraints on the parameters of the B-meson light-cone distribution amplitudes from the experimental data in the future.
