It is notorious that, contrary to all other precision electroweak data, the forward-backward asymmetry for b quarks $A_{FB}^b$ measured in Z decays at LEP1 is nearly three standard deviations away from the predicted value in the Standard Model; significant deviations also occur in measurements of the asymmetry off the Z pole. We show that these discrepancies can be resolved in a variant of the Randall-Sundrum extra-dimensional model in which the gauge structure is extended to $SU(2)_L times SU(2)_R times U(1)_X$ to allow for relatively light Kaluza-Klein excitations of the gauge bosons. In this scenario, the fermions are localized differently along the extra dimension, in order to generate the fermion mass hierarchies, so that the electroweak interactions for the heavy third generation fermions are naturally different from the light fermion ones. We show that the mixing between the Z boson with the Kaluza-Klein excitations allows to explain the $A_{FB}^b$ anomaly without affecting (and even improving) the agreement of the other precision observables, including the $Z to bb$ partial decay width, with experimental data. Some implications of this scenario for the ILC are summarized.
We carry out a comprehensive analysis of models for top A_{FB} at CDF in light of new top data arriving from the LHC. We begin with a careful Tevatron analysis, considering in general which sets of effective vertices give rise to a large forward-back
An attempt has been made to address the 3sigma anomaly of the forward-backward asymmetry of b quark in LEP data via an unparticle sector. For most part of the parameter space except certain particular regions, the anomaly could not be explained away
Many extensions of the Standard Model include an extra gauge boson, whose couplings to fermions are constrained by the requirement that anomalies cancel. We find a general solution to the resulting diophantine equations in the plausible case where th
We discuss the impact of the recent untagged analysis of ${B}^0rightarrow D^{*}lbar{ u}_l$ decays by the Belle Collaboration on the extraction of the CKM element $|V_{cb}|$ and provide updated SM predictions for the $bto ctau u$ observables $R(D^*)$,
We present a model for dark matter with extra spatial dimensions in which Standard-Model (SM) fermions have localized wave functions. The underlying gauge group is $G_{rm SM} otimes {rm U}(1)_z$, and the dark matter particle is a SM-singlet Dirac fer
