B_s\to K^{(*)-}K^{(*)+}, K^{(*)-}\pi^{+}, K^{(*)-}\rho^{+} decays in R-parity violating supersymmetry

TL;DR

This paper investigates how R-parity violating supersymmetry could influence certain B_s meson decay processes, providing predictions that future experiments at CERN LHC can test to constrain or reveal new physics beyond the Standard Model.

Contribution

It constrains R-parity violating couplings using recent experimental data and predicts their effects on various B_s decay observables, highlighting potential signals of new physics.

Findings

Some decay branching ratios are highly sensitive to RPV couplings.

Direct CP asymmetries in certain decays could be significantly enhanced.

Polarization fractions can be substantially suppressed by RPV effects.

Abstract

With the first measurements of the branching ratios and the direct CP asymmetries of $B_s\to K^{-}K^{+}$, $K^{-}\pi^{+}$ decays by the CDF collaboration, we constrain the relevant parameter space of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model with R-parity violation. Using the constrained R-parity violating couplings, we further examine their possible effects in $B_{s}\to K^{-*}\pi^{+}$, $K^{(*)-}\rho^{+}$ and $K^{(*)\pm}K^{(*)\mp}$ decays. We find that some branching ratios and CP asymmetries are very sensitive to the R-parity violating couplings. The direct longitudinal CP asymmetries of tree-dominated process $B_s\to K^{*-}\rho^{+}$ could be enlarged to $\sim 70%$ and the longitudinal polarizations of $B_s\to K^{*-}K^{*+}$, $K^{*-}\rho^{+}$ decays could be suppressed very much by the squark exchange couplings. Near future experiments at CERN LHC can test these predictions and shrink/reveal the parameter spaces of RPV SUSY.
