We study R-parity violating contributions to the mixing parameter $y$ for $D^0 -bar D^0$ and $B^0_{d,s} - bar B^0_{d,s}$ systems. We first obtain general expressions for new physics contributions to $y$ from effective four fermion operators. We then use them to study R-parity contributions. We find that R-parity violating contributions to $D^0 - bar D^0$ mixing, and $B_{d}^0 - bar B_{d}^0$ to be small. There may be sizable contribution to $B_s^0 -bar B_s^0$ mixing. We also obtain some interesting bounds on R-parity violating parameters using known Standard Model predictions and experimental data.
In this work, we perform a systematical investigation about the possible hidden and doubly heavy molecular states with open and hidden strangeness from interactions of $D^{(*)}{bar{D}}^{(*)}_{s}$/$B^{(*)}{bar{B}}^{(*)}_{s}$, ${D}^{(*)}_{s}{bar{D}}^{(*)}_{s}$/${{B}}^{(*)}_{s}{bar{B}}^{(*)}_{s}$, ${D}^{(*)}D_{s}^{(*)}$/${B}^{(*)}B_{s}^{(*)}$, and $D_{s}^{(*)}D_{s}^{(*)}$/$B_{s}^{(*)}B_{s}^{(*)}$ in a quasipotential Bethe-Salpeter equation approach. The interactions of the systems considered are described within the one-boson-exchange model, which includes exchanges of light mesons and $J/psi/Upsilon$ meson. Possible molecular states are searched for as poles of scattering amplitudes of the interactions considered. The results suggest that recently observed $Z_{cs}(3985)$ can be assigned as a molecular state of $D^*bar{D}_s+Dbar{D}^*_s$, which is a partner of $Z_c(3900)$ state as a $Dbar{D}^*$ molecular state. The calculation also favors the existence of hidden heavy states $D_sbar{D}_s/B_sbar{B}_s$ with spin parity $J^P=0^+$, $D_sbar{D}^*_s/B_sbar{B}^*_s$ with $1^{+}$, and $D^*_sbar{D}^*_s/B^*_sbar{B}^*_s$ with $0^+$, $1^+$, and $2^+$. In the doubly heavy sector, the bound states can be found from the interactions $(D^*D_s+DD^*_s)/(B^*B_s+BB^*_s)$ with $1^+$, $D_sbar{D}_s^*/B_sbar{B}_s^*$ with $1^+$, $D^*D^*_s/B^*B^*_s$ with $1^+$ and $2^+$, and $D^*_sD^*_s/B^*_sB^*_s$ with $1^+$ and $2^+$. Some other interactions are also found attractive, but may be not strong enough to produce a bound state. The results in this work are helpful for understanding the $Z_{cs}(3985)$, and future experimental search for the new molecular states.
We calculate the contributions to the rare decays $B to X_{s,d} u bar u$ and $B_{s,d} to l^+l^-$ from one-loop $Z^0$-penguin diagrams in the framework of Topcolor-assisted Technicolor Model. Within the parameter space, we find that: (a) the new contribution from technipions is less than 2% of the standard model prediction; (b) the top-pions can provide a factor of 10 to 30 enhancement to the ratios in question; (c) the topcolor-assisted technicolor model is consistent with the current experimental data.
We calculate the contributions to the rare B-decays, $B to X_{s,d} u bar u$, $B_{s,d} to l^+l^- $ from the unit-charged technipions. Within the considered parameter space we find that: (a) the enhancements to the branching ratios in question can be as large as three orders of magnitude; (b) the ALEPH data of $B to X_s u bar u$ lead to strong mass bounds on $m_{p1}$ and $m_{p8}$: $m_{p8} geq 620, 475 GeV$ for $F_Q=40GeV$ and $m_{p1}=100, 400 GeV$ respectively. (c) the CDF data of $B_s to mu bar mu$ lead to a relatively weak limit: $m_{p8} geq 320 GeV$ for $F_Q=40GeV$ and $m_{p1}=200 GeV$.
We point out that in the minimal supersymmetric standard model terms from the mixing of Higgs and Goldstone bosons which are connected to the renormalization of tan(beta) via Slavnov-Taylor identities give rise to corrections that do not vanish in the limit where the supersymmetric particles are much heavier than the Higgs bosons. These additional contributions have important phenomenological implications as they can lead to potentially large supersymmetric effects in DeltaM_d and to a significant increase of DeltaM_s relative to the standard model prediction for a light pseudoscalar Higgs A0. We calculate all the missing one-loop pieces and combine them with the known effective non-holomorphic terms to obtain improved predictions for the B_(d,s)-anti-B_(d,s) mass differences DeltaM_(d,s) and the branching ratios of B_(d,s) -> mu+mu- in the large tan(beta) regime of the minimal supersymmetric standard model with minimal flavor violation.
We investigate the possibility of explaining the enhancement in semileptonic decays of $bar B to D^{(*)} tau bar u$, the anomalies induced by $bto smu^+mu^-$ in $bar Bto (K, K^*, phi)mu^+mu^-$ and violation of lepton universality in $R_K = Br(bar Bto K mu^+mu^-)/Br(bar Bto K e^+e^-)$ within the framework of R-parity violating (RPV) MSSM. Exchange of down type right-handed squark coupled to quarks and leptons yield interactions which are similar to leptoquark induced interactions that have been proposed to explain the $bar B to D^{(*)} tau bar u$ by tree level interactions and $bto s mu^+mu^-$ anomalies by loop induced interactions, simultaneously. However, the Yukawa couplings in such theories have severe constraints from other rare processes in $B$ and $D$ decays. Although this interaction can provide a viable solution to $R(D^{(*)})$ anomaly, we show that with the severe constraint from $bar B to K u bar u$, it is impossible to solve the anomalies in $bto s mu^+mu^-$ process simultaneously.
