Constraints on the charged scalar effects using the forward-backward asymmetry on $B\to D^{(*)}\tau\bar{\nu_{\tau}}$

Abstract

The decay modes $\bar{B}\to D^{(*)}\tau\bar{\nu}_{\tau}$ are sensitive to charged scalar effects, such as the charged Higgs effects. In this paper we suggest a method to determine their effects by using the ratio of branching fractions and forward-backward asymmetries. In particular, forward-backward asymmetries on $\bar{B}\to D^{(*)}\tau(\to \pi\nu_{\tau})\bar{\nu}_{\tau}$, $\bar{B}\to D^{(*)}\tau(\to \rho\nu_{\tau})\bar{\nu}_{\tau}$, and $\bar{B}\to D^{(*)}\tau(\to a_1\nu_{\tau})\bar{\nu}_{\tau}$ play an important role, which discriminate the Standard Model from other New Physics scenarios.
