Prospects for discovering new physics in charm sector through low-energy scattering processes $e^{-}p\to e^{-}({\mu }^{-}){\Lambda }_c$

Abstract

We investigate the potential for discovering new physics through the low-energy scattering processes $e^{-}p\to e^{-}({\mu }^{-}){\Lambda }_c$, which could be accessible in the forthcoming $ep$ scattering experiments once adapted to our proposed setups. In the framework of a general low-energy effective Lagrangian, we demonstrate that, compared with the conventional flavor-changing neutral-current weak decays of charmed hadrons and the dilepton productions at high-energy colliders, the low-energy scattering processes can provide more competitive potentials for hunting the underlying new physics. In some specific leptoquark models, we also show that promising event rates can be expected for both the scattering processes, and point out a possible way to distinguish the experimental signals due to the scalar leptoquarks from those of the vector ones.
