Radiative dileptonic decays of B mesons
Abstract
We investigate the radiative dileptonic decays Bs(Bd) -> γl+l- within the standard model. Using the constituent quark model, the brancing ratios turn out to be around 5 × 10-9 for Bs -> γμ+μ-, and around 6 × 10-10 for Bd -> γμ+μ-, with slightly larger values for Bs(Bd) -> γe+e-. The differential rate as a function of the dilepton invariant mass is given. The possibility of using these processes to determine the decay constants of Bs or Bd is discussed.
