Lepton polarization asymmetries in rare semi-tauonic $b\to s$ exclusive decays at FCC-$ee$

Abstract

We consider measurements of exclusive rare semi-tauonic $b$-hadron decays, mediated by the $b\to s{\tau }^{+}{\tau }^{-}$ transition, at a future high energy circular electron-positron collider (FCC-$ee$). We argue that the high boosts of $b$-hadrons originating from on-shell $Z$ boson decays allow for a full reconstruction of the decay kinematics in hadronic $\tau$ decay modes (up to discrete ambiguities). This, together with the potentially large statistics of $Z\to b\bar{b}$, opens the door for the experimental determination of $\tau$ polarizations in these rare $b$-hadron decays. In light of the current experimental situation on lepton flavor universality in rare semileptonic $B$ decays, we discuss the complementary short-distance physics information carried by the $\tau$ polarizations and suggest suitable theoretically clean observables in the form of single- and double-$\tau$ polarization asymmetries.
