Optimised observables and new physics prospects in the penguin-mediated decays B_d(s)→ K^(*)0ϕ
arxiv(2024)
摘要
We study the penguin-mediated decays
B̅_d(s)→K̅^*0(K^*0)ϕ transitions. We propose a new
optimised observable L_K^*ϕ from the ratio of longitudinal branching
ratios of these decays, with limited hadronic uncertainties and enhanced
sensitivity to New Physics. It exhibits a deviation at the 1.48 σ
level between its experimental value and its SM determination within QCD
factorisation. This result can be accommodated together with the significant
deviations found for the K^(*)K̅^(*) modes in our earlier works, if
New Physics affects either the QCD penguin operator Q_4 or the chromomagnetic
dipole operator Q_8g for both b→ d and b→ s transitions. The
allowed range for the Wilson coefficients C_4s,8gs is narrower compared to
C_4d,8gd since the b→ s transition B̅_d→K̅^*0ϕ) is
in better agreement with the SM. If we add the measured longitudinal branching
ratio for the B̅_d→K̅^0ϕ to our analysis, the
simultaneous explanation of all the experimental data for the
K^(*)K̅^(*) and the K^*(K̅^(*))ϕ channels in terms of
New Physics in C_4d,s or C_8gd,s operators only becomes very
constrained. This set of observables can be explained more easily if we assume
New Physics either in (C_4f,C_6f) or C_6f,C_8gf in both f=d,s.
This should provide a strong incentive for the LHCb experiment to perform a new
measurement of the longitudinal branching ratio for
B̅_d→K̅^*0ϕ, measured only by BaBar and Belle.
