SM费米子衰变为暗光子的FCNC

FCNC decays of SM fermions into a dark photon

Emidio Gabrielli, Barbara Mele, Martti Raidal, Elena Venturini

摘要:

我们分析了一类新的FCNC过程,$f \to f^{\prime} \, \barγ$衰变的费米子$f$到一个较轻的(相同电荷)费米子$f^{\prime}$加上一个{ \it无质量}中性矢量玻色子,一个{ \it暗光子} $\barγ$。无质量的暗光子在树的水平上不与可观测的场相互作用,并且$f \!\to\! f^{\prime} \, \barγ$衰变呈现出一个特征性的签名,其中最终的费米子$f^{\prime}$被{ \it无质量不可见}系统平衡。最近提出的解释标准模型汤川耦合中指数扩展的模型确实可以预见一个额外的不间断的{ \it dark} $U(1)$规范群,以及通过单圈磁偶极FCNC相互作用将壳层暗光子耦合到标准模型费米子的可能性。后者被与重信使质量相关的特征尺度所抑制,将标准模型粒子与暗区联系起来。我们用模型参数计算了顶、底和粲衰变($t\to c\, \barγ,u\, \barγ$、$\;b\to s\, \barγ,d\, \barγ$和$c\to u \barγ$)以及带电轻子衰变($τ\to μ\, \barγ, e\, \barγ$和$μ\to e \barγ$)的相应衰变率。我们发现,如果信使质量在大型强子对撞机的发现范围内,夸克和轻子衰变的大分支比是允许的。这些新的衰变通道在目前和未来的对撞机实验的影响进行了简要讨论。

英文摘要:

We analyze a new class of FCNC processes, the $f \to f^{\prime} \, \barγ$ decays of a fermion $f$ into a lighter (same-charge) fermion $f^{\prime}$ plus a {\it massless} neutral vector boson, a {\it dark photon} $\barγ$. A massless dark photon does not interact at tree level with observable fields, and the $f \!\to\! f^{\prime} \, \barγ$ decay presents a characteristic signature where the final fermion $f^{\prime}$ is balanced by a {\it massless invisible} system. Models recently proposed to explain the exponential spread in the standard-model Yukawa couplings can indeed foresee an extra unbroken {\it dark} $U(1)$ gauge group, and the possibility to couple on-shell dark photons to standard-model fermions via one-loop magnetic-dipole kind of FCNC interactions. The latter are suppressed by the characteristic scale related to the mass of heavy messengers, connecting the standard model particles to the dark sector. We compute the corresponding decay rates for the top, bottom, and charm decays ($t\to c\, \barγ,u\, \barγ$, $\;b\to s\, \barγ,d\, \barγ$, and $c\to u \barγ$), and for the charged-lepton decays ($τ\to μ\, \barγ, e\, \barγ$, and $μ\to e \barγ$) in terms of model parameters. We find that large branching ratios for both quark and lepton decays are allowed in case the messenger masses are in the discovery range of the LHC. Implications of these new decay channels at present and future collider experiments are briefly discussed.
