arXiv:0807.4598 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.78.033001

Abstract

We investigate the influence of the fourth generation of quarks on the branching ratio, the CP-asymmetry and the polarization asymmetries in $B \rar ρ\ell^+ \ell^-$ decay. Taking with phase about , which is consistent with the of the CKM and the mixing parameter , we obtain that for both () channels the branching ratio is increased and the magnitude of CP-asymmetry and polarization asymmetries decreased by the mass and mixing parameters of the 4th generation of quarks . These results can serve as a good tool to search for new physics effects, precisely, to search for the fourth generation of quarks( via its indirect manifestations in loop diagrams.
