Constraint on the branching ratio of B_c \to tau nu from LEP1 and consequences for R(D(*)) anomaly

Abstract

Recently there has been interest in the correlation between R(D*) and the branching ratio (BR) of $B_c\to \tau \nu$ in models with a charged scalar H^\pm. Any enhancement of R(D*) by $H^{\pm }$ alone (in order to agree with current data) also enhances $BR(B_c\to \tau \nu$), for which there has been no direct search at hadron colliders. We show that LEP data taken at the Z peak requires BR($B_c\to \tau \nu$) < 10%, and this constraint is significantly stronger than the recent constraint BR($B_c\to \tau \nu$) < 30% from considering the lifetime of B_c. In order to respect this new constraint, any explanation of the R(D) and R(D*) anomaly in terms of $H^{\pm }$ alone would require the future measurements of R(D*) to be even closer to the Standard Model prediction. A stronger limit on BR($B_c\to \tau \nu$) (or its first measurement) would be obtained if the L3 collaboration used all its data taken at the Z peak.
