D0 dimuon charge asymmetry from Bs system with Z' couplings and the recent LHCb result

Abstract

The D0 collaboration has announced the observation of the like-sign dimuon charge asymmetry since 2010, which has more than 3σ deviation from the Standard Model prediction. One of the promising explanation is considering the existence of flavor changing Z' couplings to the b and s quarks which can contribute to the off-diagonal decay width in the Bs - Bs mixing. Model construction is highly constrained by the recent LHCb data of 1fb-1 integrated luminosity . In this paper, we analyze the experimental constraints in constructing new physics models to explain the dimuon charge asymmetry from the CP violation of the Bs system. We present limits on Z' couplings and show that it is impossible to obtain the 1σ range of the dimuon charge asymmetry without the new contribution in the Bd system. Even with arbitrary contribution in the Bd system, the new couplings must be in the fine tuned region.
