Addressing the Rτ/μ,e(D(∗)) puzzle through new physics four-fermion operators and their impact on Λb→Λcτντ decay

The Lepton Flavor Universality ratio [Formula: see text] poses a notable challenge to the Standard Model (SM), as results of the B-factory experiments, BaBar, Belle and the LHCb show [Formula: see text] deviations from their theoretical predictions. Utilizing the latest HFLAV averages and incorporating the branching ratio constraints [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] from the lifetime of the [Formula: see text] meson, we determine the values of the Wilson coefficients (WCs) for different New Physics (NP) four-fermion operator with specific Lorentz structures. Our analysis finds that the parametric region allowed for the WC scenario [Formula: see text] emerged as the most probable, yielding the maximum pull from the SM, and strongly influenced by the constraints of the branching ratio. Furthermore, we identify three degenerate solutions involving [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] as the second most probable NP scenarios. We then studied the influence of these NP operators on various physical observables in [Formula: see text] decay by using the Lattice QCD form factors. Our results highlighted [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and the three degenerate scenarios involving [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] as strong indicators of NP. The correlation of different physical observables shows a direct correlation between [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] for WC [Formula: see text]; and between [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] for three degenerate WCs involving [Formula: see text]. We hope that the measurements of these observables on some ongoing and future experiments will help us to scrutinize these constraints on the various NP couplings.

Abstract

The Lepton Flavor Universality ratio [Formula: see text] poses a notable challenge to the Standard Model (SM), as results of the B-factory experiments, BaBar, Belle and the LHCb show [Formula: see text] deviations from their theoretical predictions. Utilizing the latest HFLAV averages and incorporating the branching ratio constraints [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] from the lifetime of the [Formula: see text] meson, we determine the values of the Wilson coefficients (WCs) for different New Physics (NP) four-fermion operator with specific Lorentz structures. Our analysis finds that the parametric region allowed for the WC scenario [Formula: see text] emerged as the most probable, yielding the maximum pull from the SM, and strongly influenced by the constraints of the branching ratio. Furthermore, we identify three degenerate solutions involving [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] as the second most probable NP scenarios. We then studied the influence of these NP operators on various physical observables in [Formula: see text] decay by using the Lattice QCD form factors. Our results highlighted [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and the three degenerate scenarios involving [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] as strong indicators of NP. The correlation of different physical observables shows a direct correlation between [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] for WC [Formula: see text]; and between [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] for three degenerate WCs involving [Formula: see text]. We hope that the measurements of these observables on some ongoing and future experiments will help us to scrutinize these constraints on the various NP couplings.
