The effect of z^prime boson on same-sign dimuon charge asymmetry in $ b_q^0 - bar b_q^0$ system

Abstract

The recent observation of the same-sign dimuon charge asymmetry in the B system by the D0 collaboration has 3.9 sigma deviation from the standard model prediction. However, the recent LHCb data on B-s neutral-meson mixing do not accommodate the D0 collaboration result. In this paper, considering the effect of Z'-mediated flavour-changing neutral currents in the $ B_q^0 - bar B_q^0$ (q = d, s) mixing, the same-sign dimuon charge asymmetry is calculated. We find the same-sign dimuon charge asymmetry is enhanced from its SM prediction and provides signals for new physics beyond the SM
