${\Sigma }^{+}\to p{\ell }^{+}{\ell }^{-}$ decays within the standard model and beyond

Abstract

Motivated by the LHCb measurement of the hyperon decay mode ${\Sigma }^{+}\to p{\mu }^{+}{\mu }^{-}$ and prospects for improvement, we revisit the estimates for the rate and muon forward-backward asymmetry within the standard model and beyond. The standard model prediction has a fourfold ambiguity, and we suggest ways to resolve it with other measurements, including possible studies of ${\Sigma }^{+}\to p{e}^{+}{e}^{-}$ in the BESIII and LHCb experiments. We use the recent BESIII measurements of ${\Sigma }^{+}\to p\gamma$ and ${\Sigma }^{+}\to N\pi$ to reduce the uncertainty in the long-distance contribution to ${\Sigma }^{+}\to p{\mu }^{+}{\mu }^{-}$. Beyond the standard model, we consider a general effective Hamiltonian at low energy with ten operators whose Wilson coefficients parametrize the new physics. We derive expressions for the ${\Sigma }^{+}\to p{\mu }^{+}{\mu }^{-}$ rate and the associated muon forward-backward asymmetry in terms of these coefficients. Finally, we present the constraints on these Wilson coefficients that result from both kaon and hyperon decays and emphasize their complementarity.
