Rare B Meson Decays at the Tevatron

TL;DR

This paper reports on recent measurements of rare B meson decays at the Tevatron, which are sensitive probes for new physics beyond the Standard Model, focusing on b -> s mu+ mu- and B0 -> mu+ mu- processes.

Contribution

It presents new experimental results from the CDF II detector at Fermilab on rare B meson decay processes at 1.96 TeV.

Findings

Measurements of rare B decay processes consistent with Standard Model predictions.

Constraints on new physics models from observed decay rates.

Enhanced sensitivity in detecting potential deviations from the Standard Model.

Abstract

Rare B meson decays are an excellent probe for beyond the Standard Model physics. Two very sensitive processes are the b -> s mu^+ mu^- and B0 -> mu^+ mu^- decays. We report recent results at a center of mass energy of sqrt(s) = 1.96 TeV from CDF II using 7/fb at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider.
