Impact of family-non-universal boson on pure annihilation and decays
Abstract
We study the and decays in the standard model and the family-non-universal model. Since none of the quarks in the final states is the same as the initial quark, these decay modes can occur only via power-suppressed annihilation diagrams. Despite the consistency of the standard model prediction with the available data, room remains for a light boson. Taking into account the contribution, we find that theoretical results for the branching fractions can better accommodate the data. With the relevant data, we also derive a constraint on the parameter space for the . Moreover, for , both the direct and the mixing-induced CP asymmetry are sensitive to the couplings between and fermions in the parameter spaces constrained by the data. The measurements at future experimental facilities, including the LHCb, Belle-II, and the proposed high energy collider, will provide us useful hints for direct searching for the light boson.
