Investigating the Effect of Family Non-universal $Z^{\prime }$ Boson in $B\to \varphi \varphi$ Decay

Abstract

Within the perturbative QCD approach, we re-calculate the branching ratio and polarization fractions of the pure annihilation decay $B\to \varphi \varphi$ in both the standard model (SM) and the family non-universal $Z^{\prime }$ model. We find that this decay is dominated by the longitudinal part, while the transverse parts are negligibly due to the absence of the $(S-P)(S+P)$-type operator. In SM, the branching ratio is predicted as $(4.4_{-0.6-0.5}^{+0.8+0.3})\times 10^{-8}$, which is larger than the previous predictions. With an additional $Z^{\prime }$ boson, the branching ratio can be enhanced by a factor of 2, or reduced one half in the allowed parameters space. These results will be tested by the ongoing LHCb experiment and forthcoming Super-B experiments. Moreover, if the $Z^{\prime }$ boson could be directly detected at hadron collider, this decay can be used to constrain its mass and the couplings in turn.
