Bˉs→μ+μ−{\bar B_s} \to \mu^+ \mu^- decay in the Randall-Sundrum model

We investigate the ${\bar B_s} \to \mu^+ \mu^-$ decay in the presence of a light stabilized radion in Randall-Sundrum model. The branching ratio $BR({\bar B_s} \to \mu^+ \mu^-)$ in the standard model is found to be $3.17 \times 10^{-9}$ (two order smaller than the experimental upper bound) and raises the question whether some new physics can play a crucial role or not. We found that for a reasonable range of parameters (i.e. radion mass $m_\phi$ and radion vev \vphi), the above deficit between the experimental bound and the standard model result can well be accomodated. Using this upper bound on $BR({\bar B_s} \to \mu^+ \mu^-)$, we obtain the lower bound on \vphi.Comment: 17 pages, one tex file, 6 eps and 1 ps figures. Discussion on radion signal is made and few more references are added. Accepted in Phys Rev

Constraining Scalar Leptoquarks from the K and B Sectors

Upper bounds at the weak scale are obtained for all $\lambda_{ij}\lambda_{im}$ type product couplings of the scalar leptoquark model which may affect K-K(bar), B_d-B_d(bar), and B_s-B_s(bar)$ mixing, as well as leptonic and semileptonic K and B decays. Constraints are obtained for both real and imaginary parts of the couplings. We also discuss the role of leptoquarks in explaining the anomalously large CP-violating phase in B_s-B_s(bar) mixing.Comment: 16 pages, 5 figures, more constraints analyzed, added a number of reference
