Abstract

We study the decays (; ) in the Standard Model (SM) and in the effective field theory (EFT) description of the weak charged current at low energy, both for polarized and unpolarized , keeping the mass dependence. We clarify the discrepancy between two previous SM calculations of the decay rate improving their precision. The recent anomaly found in could be checked using our precise prediction for the decays, which shall be measured analyzing already existing data from the first generation B-factories. It is shown how measurements of the di- mass distribution (with appropriate cuts) and -asymmetries are able to reveal the corresponding lepton flavor violating (LFV) processes without neutrinos in the final state.
