B decays with -leptons in non-universal left-right models

arXiv:1211.0348 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.87.014014

Abstract

Recent measurements of semileptonic -meson decays into -leptons are somewhat higher than expected in the standard model. Although the deviations are less than 3, they suggest the possibility of new physics affecting primarily the -lepton. In this paper we examine these results within the context of non-universal left-right models. We find that strong constraints from on mixing lead to a prediction of approximately equal enhancements for the and the modes. The model predicts approximately the same enhancement for the inclusive semileptonic rate as well as for the leptonic decay . An enhancement in the leptonic decay is also possible but is not uniquely correlated with the other modes. For this explanation to be viable, the mass of the non-universal would be below 1 TeV, within LHC reach.
