Revisiting Bsμ+μ- and B K(*)μ+μ- decays in the MSSM with and without R-parity
Abstract
The rare decays Bs -> μ+μ- and B -> K(*)μ+μ- are sensitive to new particles and couplings via their interferences with the standard model contributions. Recently, the upper bound on B(Bs -> μ+μ-) has been improved significantly by the CMS, LHCb, CDF, and D experiments. Combining with the measurements of B(B-> K(*)μ+μ-), we derive constraints on the relevant parameters of minimal supersymmetic standard model with and without R-parity, and examine their contributions to the dimuon forward-backward asymmetry in B-> K*μ+μ- decay. We find that (i) the contribution of R-parity violating coupling products λ2i2λ*2i3 due to squark exchange is comparable with the theoretical uncertainties in B-> K μ+μ- decay, but still could be significant in B-> K*μ+μ- decay and could account for the forward-backward asymmetry in all dimuon invariant mass regions; (ii) the constrained mass insertion (δuLL)23 could have significant contribution to dAFB(B-> K*μ+μ-)/ds, and such effects are favored by thr recent results of the Belle, CDF, and LHCb experiments.
