Study of some rare decays of B_s meson in the fourth generation model

TL;DR

This paper investigates rare $B_s$ meson decays within the fourth generation model (SM4), showing that the heavy $t'$ quark significantly alters decay observables, potentially observable at LHCb.

Contribution

It demonstrates how the fourth generation model impacts rare $B_s$ decay predictions, highlighting deviations from the Standard Model due to the heavy $t'$ quark.

Findings

Branching ratios deviate significantly from SM predictions.

Some decay modes are accessible to LHCb detection.

SM4 explains anomalies in CP violation parameters.

Abstract

We study some rare decays of $B_s$ meson governed by the quark level transitions $ b \to s$, in the fourth generation model popularly known as SM4. Recently it has been shown that SM4, which is a simple extension of the SM3, can successfully explain several anomalies observed in the CP violation parameters of $B$ and $B_s$ mesons. We find that in this model due to the additional contributions coming from the heavy $t'$ quark in the loop, the branching ratios and other observables in rare $B_s$ decays deviate significantly from their SM values. Some of these modes are within the reach of LHCb experiment and search for such channels are strongly argued.
