In this paper we present a fully-differential calculation for the contributions to the partial widths $H\rightarrow b\bar{b}$ and $H\rightarrow c\bar{c}$ that are sensitive to the top quark Yukawa coupling $y_t$ to order $α_s^3$. These contributions first enter at order $α_s^2$ through terms proportional to $y_t y_q$ ($q=b,c$). At order $α_s^3$ corrections to the mixed terms are present as well as a new contribution proportional to $y_t^2$. Our results retain the mass of the final-state quarks throughout, while the top quark is integrated out resulting in an effective field theory (EFT). Our results are implemented into a Monte Carlo code allowing for the application of arbitrary final-state selection cuts. As an example we present differential distributions for observables in the Higgs boson rest frame using the Durham jet clustering algorithm. We find that the total impact of the top-induced (i.e. EFT) pieces is sensitive to the nature of the final-state cuts, particularly b-tagging and c-tagging requirements. For bottom quarks, the EFT pieces contribute to the total width (and differential distributions) at around the percent level. The impact is much bigger for the $H\rightarrow c\bar{c}$ channel, with effects as large as 15%. We show however that their impact can be significantly reduced by the application of jet-tagging selection cuts.
The cross sections of $e^+e^- \rightarrow πZ_c(3900) \rightarrow ππJ/ψ$ and $e^+e^- \rightarrow πZ_c(3900) \rightarrow πD\bar{D}^{*}$ have been measured by BESIII experiment. We try to perform a combined fit to the cross sections with one Breit-Wigner function, the fit results show the structure's mass and width are $M=(4232\pm5)$ MeV/$c^2$, $Γ=(65\pm21)$ MeV. The ratio $\frac{\mathcal{B}(Z_c(3900)\rightarrow D\bar{D}^{*})}{\mathcal{B}(Z_c(3900)\rightarrowπJ/ψ)}$ is determined to be $(16\pm6)$. We also try to fit the cross sections with two Breit-Wigner functions, while we can't come to any de…
Within the quasi-two-body decay model, we study the localized $CP$ violation and branching fraction of the four-body decay $\bar{B}^0\rightarrow [K^-π^+]_{S/V}[π^+π^-]_{V/S} \rightarrow K^-π^+π^-π^+$ when $K^-π^+$ and $π^-π^+$ pair invariant masses are $0.35<m_{K^-π^+}<2.04 \, \mathrm{GeV}$ and $0<m_{π^-π^+}<1.06\, \mathrm{GeV}$, with the pairs being dominated by the $\bar{K}^*_0(700)^0$, $\bar{K}^*(892)^0$, $\bar{K}^*(1410)^0$, $\bar{K}^*_0(1430)$ and $\bar{K}^*(1680)^0$, and $f_0(500)$, $ρ^0(770)$ , $ω(782)$ and $f_0(980)$ resonances, respectively. When dealing with the dynamical functions o…
In this work, we study the localized $CP$ violation and the branching fraction of the four-body decay $\bar{B}^0\rightarrow K^-π^+π^-π^+$ by employing a quasi-two-body QCD factorization approach. Considering the interference of $\bar{B}^0\rightarrow \bar{K}_0^*(700)ρ^0(770)\rightarrow K^-π^+π^-π^+$ and $\bar{B}^0\rightarrow \bar{K}^*(892)f_0(500)\rightarrow K^-π^+π^-π^+$ channels, we predict $\mathcal{A_{CP}}(\bar{B}^0\rightarrow K^-π^+π^-π^+)\in[0.15,0.28]$ and $\mathcal{B}(\bar{B}^0\rightarrow K^-π^+π^-π^+)\in[1.73,5.10]\times10^{-7}$, respectively, which shows that this two channels' interf…
Adding a scalar singlet provides one of the simplest extensions of the Standard Model. In this work we briefly review the latest constraints on the mass and mixing of the new Higgs boson and study its production and decay at the LHC. We mainly focus on double Higgs production in the $hh \rightarrow b \bar{b} WW \rightarrow b \bar{b} \ell^+ ν\ell^- \barν$ decay channel. This decay is found to be efficient in a region of masses of the heavy Higgs boson of 260 - 500 GeV, so it is complementary to the 4$b$ channel, more efficient for Higgs bosons having masses greater than 500 GeV. We analyse this…
We investigate roads for evaluating model-independent cross-section distributions for the sequential hyperon decay $Σ^0\rightarrowΛγ;Λ\rightarrow pπ^- $ and its corresponding antihyperon decay. The hyperons are produced in the reaction $e^+e^-\rightarrow J/ψ\rightarrow Σ^0\barΣ^0$. Cross-section distributions are calculated using the folding technique.
We study the three-body baryonic B decay $\bar{B}^{0}_{s}\rightarrow p\barΛ K^{-}$ within the framework of the pole model via the baryonic $Λ_{b}$ pole. In our calculation, we require the strong coupling constant $g_{Λ_{b}B_{s}Λ}$ and investigate if $g_{Λ_{b}B_{s}Λ}=10.49\pm1.57$ is adopted, the branching ratio agrees with the experimental result, reported by the LHCb collaboration.
We report on a study of the sequential hyperon decay $Σ^0\rightarrowΛγ;Λ\rightarrow pπ^- $ and its corresponding anti-hyperon decay. We derive a multi-dimentional and model-independent formalism for the case when the hyperons are produced in the reaction $e^+e^-\rightarrowΣ^0\barΣ^0$. Cross-section distributions are calculated using the folding technique. We also study sequential decays of single-tagged hyperons.
The spin of the $τ$ lepton in the semiletonic process ${\bar{B}}^0\rightarrow D^{+} τ^- {\barν}$ can be polarized in the direction which is normal to the reaction plane, if the charged Higgs boson exists and its coupling to quarks has a complex phase. We calculate this transverse polarization of the $τ$ lepton by using the experimentally measured $B$ to $D$ transition form factors.
The associated production of a Higgs boson and a top-quark pair, $t{\bar t} H$, in proton-proton collisions is addressed in this paper for a center of mass energy of 13TeV at the LHC. Dileptonic final states of $t{\bar t}H$ events with two oppositely charged leptons and four jets from the decays $t\rightarrow bW^+ \rightarrow b \ell^+ν_\ell$, $\bar{t}\rightarrow \bar{b}W^- \rightarrow \bar{b} \ell^-\barν_\ell$ and $h\rightarrow b\bar{b}$, are used. Signal events, generated with MadGraph5_aMC@NLO, are fully reconstructed by applying a kinematic fit. New angular distributions of the decay produc…
Motivated by an anomaly in $R(D^{(*)})={\rm BR}(\bar{B}\rightarrow D^{(*)} τ^-\barν)/{\rm BR}(\bar{B}\rightarrow D^{(*)} l^-\barν)$ reported by BaBar, Belle and LHCb, we study $R(D^{(*)})$ in a general two Higgs doublet model (2HDM). Although it has been suggested that it is difficult for the 2HDM to explain the current world average for $R(D^{(*)})$, it would be important to clarify how large deviations from the standard model predictions for $R(D^{(*)})$ are possible in the 2HDM. We investigate possible corrections to $R(D^{(*)})$ in the 2HDM by taking into account various flavor physics con…
The rare decays $\bar B\rightarrow X_sγ$ and $B_s^0\rightarrow μ^+μ^-$ are important to research new physics beyond standard model. In this work, we investigate two loop electroweak corrections to $\bar B\rightarrow X_sγ$ and $B_s^0\rightarrow μ^+μ^-$ in the minimal supersymmetric extension of the SM with local $B-L$ gauge symmetry (B-LSSM), under a minimal flavor violating assumption for the soft breaking terms. In this framework, new particles and new definition of squarks can affect the theoretical predictions of these two processes, with respect to the MSSM. Considering the constraints fro…
Cross-section distributions are calculated for the reaction $e^+ e^- \rightarrow J/ψ\rightarrow \barΛ(\rightarrow \bar{p}π^+) Λ(\rightarrow pπ^-)$, and related annihilation reactions mediated by vector mesons. The hyperon-decay distributions depend on a number of structure functions that are bilinear in the, possibly complex, psionic form factors $G_M^ψ$ and $G_E^ψ$ of the Lambda hyperon. The relative size and relative phase of these form factors can be uniquely determined from the unpolarized joint-decay distributions of the Lambda and anti-Lambda hyperons. Also the decay-asymmetry parameters…
We present the two-loop master integrals relevant to the ${\mathcal O}(αα_s)$-corrections to the decay $H \rightarrow b \bar{b}$ through a $H t \bar{t}$-coupling. We keep the full dependence on the heavy particle masses, but neglect the $b$-quark mass. The occurring square roots can be rationalised and the result is expressed in terms of multiple polylogarithms.
We have performed the calculations for the nonleptonic $Ξ_b^- \rightarrow π^- \ Ξ_c^0 (2790) \left(J=\frac{1}{2}\right)$ and $Ξ_b^- \rightarrow π^- \ Ξ_c^0 (2815) \left(J=\frac{3}{2}\right)$ and the same reactions replacing the $π^-$ by a $D_s^-$. At the same time we evaluate the semileptonic rates for $Ξ_b^- \rightarrow \barν_l l \ Ξ_c^0 (2790)$ and $Ξ_b^- \rightarrow \barν_l l \ Ξ_c^0 (2815)$. We look at the reactions from the perspective that the $Ξ_c^0 (2790)$ and $Ξ_c^0 (2815)$ resonances are dynamically generated from the pseudoscalar-baryon and vector-baryon interactions. We evaluate ra…
We investigate the prospects for detecting axion-like particles (ALPs, dubbed as "a") via the decay $Z\rightarrow a f\bar{f}$ at future $Z$ factories. Considering the decay channels $a\rightarrow μ^+ μ^-$ and $a\rightarrow b \bar{b}$ , four types of signals $μ^+ μ^- /E$, $b b /E$, $e^+ e^- μ^+ μ^-$ and $e^+ e^- b b$ are explored. We demonstrate that these channels are promising for detecting ALPs at $Z$ factories and obtain the sensitivity bounds on the couplings $g_{aZZ}$ and $g_{aγZ}$.
Using the Bethe-Salpeter equation (BSE) we investigate the forward-backward asymmetries $( A_{FB}) $ in $Λ_b \rightarrow Λl^+ l^-(l=e,μ,τ)$ in the quark-diquark model. This approach provides precise form factors that are different from those of QCD sum rules. We calculate the rare decay form factors for $Λ_b \rightarrow Λl^+ l^-$ and investigate the (integrated) forward-backward asymmetries in these decay channels. We find that the integrated $A^l_{FB}$, $\bar{A}^l_{FB}(Λ_b \rightarrow Λe^+ e^-) \simeq -0.1371 $, $\bar{A}^l_{FB}(Λ_b \rightarrow Λμ^+ μ^- ) \simeq -0.1376 $, $\bar{A}^l_{FB}(Λ_b …
We report on the status of the ongoing calculation of multiparticle contributions to the inclusive radiative $\bar{B} \rightarrow X_s γ$ decay at next-to leading order. This effort amounts to the evaluation of the four-particle process $b\rightarrow s \bar{q} q γ$ at the one-loop level, supplemented by the corresponding five-particle tree-level cuts $b\rightarrow s \bar{q} q γ+ g$ of the gluon bremsstrahlung. Knowledge of these pieces will formally complete the $\bar{B} \rightarrow X_s γ$ decay at the next-to-leading order. The different steps such as the generation of the amplitude, its renor…
Exclusive $B_c^\ast \rightarrow D_{s}~ν\barν$ decay is studied in the framework of the three--point QCD sum rules approach. The two gluon condensate contributions to the correlation function are calculated and the form factors of this transition are found. The decay width and total branching ratio for this decay is also calculated.
We study the three-body baryonic decay $ \bar{B}^{0}\rightarrowΛ^+_c \bar{p} π^0$ based on the factorization approach. The most important Feynman diagrams for this decay mode are factorizable and non-factorizable contributions, so that the former plays the key role in the decay amplitude and the latter affects the amplitude coefficient $a_2$. We calculate the decay branching ratio for some values of $a_2$ in the range of $0.16-0.40$ and we find that the value of $a_2=0.17$ leads us to the result of $(1.50\pm0.21)\times10^{-4}$ which evidently agrees with the experimental result $(1.55\pm0.17\p…
In the framework of the littlest Higgs model with T-parity(LHT), we investigate the double Higgs production processes $e^{+}e^{-}\rightarrow ZHH$ and $e^{+}e^{-}\rightarrow ν\barνHH$ at high energy $e^{+}e^{-}$ colliders. We calculate the production cross sections and find that the relative correction at the center-of-mass energy $\sqrt{s}=500$ GeV can maximally reach $-30%$ for the process $e^{+}e^{-}\rightarrow ZHH$ and $-16%$ for the process $e^{+}e^{-}\rightarrow ν\barνHH$ in the allowed parameter space, respectively. These large relative corrections can reach the detection range of the fu…
New Analysis of $B \rightarrow Kπ$ data with Pauli blocking CP violation in $B^o$ decays, not in $B^{\pm}$ SU(3) use of $B \rightarrow ππ$ data invalid for $B \rightarrow Kπ$
Radiative $\bar{B}^0(\bar{B}^0_s)\rightarrow J/ψγ$ decays provide an interesting case to test our understanding of (non)perturbative QCD and eventually to probe physics beyond the standard model. Recently, the LHCb Collaboration has reported an upper bound, updating the results of the BABAR Collaboration. Previous theoretical predictions based on QCD factorization or perturbative QCD have shown large variations due to different treatment of nonfactorizable contributions and meson-photon transitions. In this paper, we report on a novel approach to estimate the decay rates, which is based on a r…
We study the quark flavor violating Higgs-boson decay $h \rightarrow \bar b s + b \bar s$ in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM). The decay is analyzed first in a model independent, and in a second step in the minimal flavor violationg (MFV) Constrained MSSM. The experimental constraints from $B$-Physics observables (BPO) and electroweak precision observables (EWPO) are also calculated and imposed on the parameter space. It is shown that in some cases the EWPO restrict the flavor violating parameter space stronger than the BPO. In the model independent analysis values of ${\cal O}…
We investigate the anomalous $W^+W^-γ$ couplings through the process $e^-e^+\,\rightarrow\,ν_e\barν_eγ$ for unpolarized and polarized electron (positron) beams at the International Linear Collider. We give the 95$\%$ Confidence Level limits on the anomalous couplings with and without the systematic uncertainties for various values of center-of-mass energies and the integrated luminosities. We show that the obtained limits on the anomalous couplings through the process $e^-e^+\,\rightarrow\,ν_e\barν_eγ$ can highly improve the current experimental limits.
In our previous work, based on the $SU(6)$ spin-flavor wave function, we regard $Λ$ and $p$ as composed of different quark-diquark configurations and established the Bethe-Salpeter (BS) equations of configurations for quark and scalar diquark. In our present work, we apply this model to calculate the form factors of the semileptonic transitions $Λ_b\rightarrowΛl^+l^-$ $(l=μ,e,τ)$ and $Λ_b\rightarrow p l\barν$ within the Standard Model (SM). The decay $Λ_b\rightarrowΛμ^+μ^-$ is especially interesting since it has been measured in CDF and LHCb Collaborations and this rare decay is very sensitive…
It is emphasized that a rare decay $K^+ \rightarrow π^+ ν\barν$ becomes promising in a future search for a new particle, because the theoretical treatment is well established and the value of the branching ratio $Br(K^+ \rightarrow π^+ ν\barν)$ is sensitive to a search for a new particle with a TeV scale mass. As an example, according to a U(3) family gauge boson model which predicts the lowest family gauge boson with a few TeV mass $M_{11}$, the branching ratio $Br(K^+ \rightarrow π^+ ν\barν)$ is discussed. If we can obtain, in future, a slightly lower value $Br^{obs} \sim 0.9 \times 10^{-10}…
At Moriond 2019, Belle collaboration announced their new measurements on $R_D$ and $R_{D^*}$ which are in agreement with their Standard Model (SM) predictions within $1.2σ$. After inclusion of these measurements, the discrepancy between the world averages and the SM predictions of $R_D$-$R_{D^*}$ comes down from $4.1σ$ to $3.1σ$. Here we do a global fit by taking all measurements in $b\rightarrow cτ\barν$ transition. We find that there are seven allowed new physics solutions, each with different Lorentz structure. Further we show that it is possible to distinguish between them by means of the …
Investigation of the $B_c\rightarrow χ_{c2} l \barν $ transition via QCD sum rules
在QCD求和规则的框架下，考虑双胶子凝聚修正，计算了半轻子$B_c\rightarrow χ_{c2} l \barν $的跃迁形状因子。利用所得到的形状因子的结果，我们估计了在所有轻子通道中与这种跃迁有关的衰变宽度和分支比。所得结果与其他非微扰方法的预测进行了比较。不同轻子通道的分支比的顺序表明，$B_c\rightarrow χ_{c2} l \barν $跃迁可以在大型强子对撞机上利用收集到的或将来的数据进行研究。
We investigate $J/ψ$ decays into octet baryon-antibaryons pairs. The decay amplitudes are computed within the collinear QCD factorisation framework. The subleading amplitude, which describes the decay of longitudinally polarised charmonium, is computed using twist-4 three-quark distribution amplitudes. The obtained results are used for a qualitative analysis of the experimental data. It is found that the polarisation parameter $α_B$ can be described with an accuracy $10-30\%$, which may indicate that the pQCD contribution dominates this observable.
The form factors of the semileptonic $χ_{b2}(1P)\rightarrow B_{c}\bar{l}ν$ decay are calculated using the QCD sum rule approach. The results obtained are then used to estimate the decay widths of this transition in all lepton channels. The orders of decay rates indicate that this transition is accessible at LHC for all lepton channels.
We study the electromagnetic form factors of $Λ$ hyperon in the timelike region using the recent experimental data in the exclusive production of $\barΛ Λ$ pair in electron-position annihilation. We present a pQCD inspired parametrization of $G_E(s)$ and $G_M(s)$ with only two parameters, and we consider a suppression mechanism of the electric form factor $G_E(s)$ compared to the magnetic form factor $G_M(s)$. The parameters are determined through fitting our parametrization to the effective form factor data in the reaction $e^+e^-\rightarrow \barΛΛ$. Except the threshold region, our parametri…
An investigation about localized CP asymmetries for the processes of $\bar{B}_{s}^{0} \rightarrow π^{+}π^{-}π^{0} (K^{0})$ is presented in this paper. The innovation of this paper is that there is a consideration of three-particle $ρ^0(770)$, $ω(782)$ and $ϕ(1020)$ interferences effect. Generally, $ω(782)$ and $ϕ(1020)$ both can decay into $π^+π^-$ pair where can cause extremely small contribution from isospin symmetry breaking. Nevertheless, our analysis shows that $\bar{B}_{s}^{0} \rightarrow π^+π^-π^{0}(K^{0})$ decay process can bring differential CP asymmetry about $65\%$ ($36\%$) because …
We systematically study the semileptonic decay process of $ D\rightarrow S,A l\bar{ν_{l}}(l=e,μ)$ by light-cone sum rules (LCSR) with chiral currents, calculate the form factors containing only the contribution of the leading twist light-cone distribution amplitudes (LCDAs). For scalar mesons $a_{0}(980)$ and $a_{0}(1450)$, we take them as $q\bar{q}$ states. For axial-vector meson, we study $a_{1}(1260)( 1^{3}p^{1})$ and $b_{1}(1235)( 1^{1}p^{1})$. Based on the results of these form factors, we further present the branching ratios of these semileptonic decay processes. The numerical results fo…
We fit the unfolded data of $\bar{B}^0\rightarrow D^{*+} \ell \overlineν$ from the Belle experiment, where $\ell \equiv e, μ$, using a method independent of heavy quark symmetry to extrapolate to zero-recoil and extract the value of $|V_{cb}|$. This results in $|V_{cb}| = (41.9^{~+2.0}_{~-1.9})\times 10^{-3}$, which is robust to changes in the theoretical inputs and very consistent with the value extracted from inclusive semileptonic $B$ decays.
The observation of anomalies in the charged current $b\rightarrow c\bar{\ell}ν_{\ell}$ transitions hints the possibility of the existence of new physics beyond the standard model. Inspired by the work done in the beauty quark sector, we explore new physics in the charm quark sector with $c \rightarrow (s,d)\bar{\ell}ν_{\ell}$ charged current transitions. We analyze the decay modes $D_{(s)}^+ \to η^{(')} \bar{\ell} ν_{\ell}$ within an effective Lagrangian framework which includes both standard model and new physics contributions. We use the available experimental measurements of the semileptoni…
Decays $K^{+} \rightarrow μ^{+}ν_μ ν\bar ν$ and $K^{+}\rightarrow e^{+}ν_{e} ν\bar ν$ are examined to the leading order in momenta in the framework of Chiral Perturbation Theory. Predictions of the Standard Model for the muon and electron differential energy spectra and branching ratios of $K_{μ3 ν}$ and $K_{e 3 ν}$ are presented.
We analyze the semileptonic $ B_{s} \rightarrow D_{s2}^{*}(2573)\ell\bar{ν}_{\ell}$ transition, where $\ell=τ,~μ$ or $e$, within the standard model. We apply the QCD sum rule approach to calculate the transition form factors entering the low energy Hamiltonian defining this channel. The fit functions of the form factors are used to estimate the total decay widths and branching fractions in all lepton channels. The orders of branching ratios indicate that this transition is accessible at LHCb in near future.
The $μν$SSM, one of supersymmetric extensions beyond the Standard Model, introduces three singlet right-handed neutrino superfields to solve the $μ$ problem and can generate three tiny Majorana neutrino masses through the seesaw mechanism. In this work, we investigate the rare decay process $\bar{B}\rightarrow X_sγ$ in the $μν$SSM, under a minimal flavor violating assumption for the soft breaking terms. Constrained by the SM-like Higgs with mass around 125 GeV, the numerical results show that the new physics can fit the experimental data for $\bar{B}\rightarrow X_sγ$ and further constrain the …
