    Possible huge enhancement in the radiative decay of the weal W boson into the charmed DsD_{s} meson

    Full text link
    We point out that the rare decay mode W±→γ+Ds±W^{\pm} \rightarrow \gamma + D^{\pm}_{s} could be spectacularly enhanced, with a branching ratio around 10−610^{-6} which is three order of magnitude larger than previous predictions. Its observation will determine the W boson mass with great accuracy, providing additional high precision tests of the standard model, as well as reveal eventual deviation from the trilinear non-abelian gauge coupling.Comment: 14, PAR/LPTHE 93 - 0

    Study of pure annihilation type decays B→Ds∗KB \to D_s^{*} K

    Full text link
    In this work, we calculate the rare decays B0→Ds∗−K+B^0 \to D_s^{*-} K^+ and B+→Ds∗+Kˉ0B^+ \to D_s^{*+} \bar{K}^0 in perturbative QCD approach with Sudakov resummation. We give the branching ratio of 10−510^{-5} for B0→Ds∗−K+B^0 \to D_s^{*-}K^+, which will be tested soon in BB factories. The decay B+→Ds∗+Kˉ0B^+ \to D_s^{*+} \bar{K}^0 has a very small branching ratio at O(10−8){\cal O}(10^{-8}), due to the suppression from CKM matrix elements ∣Vub∗Vcd∣|V_{ub}^* V_{cd}|. It may be sensitive to new physics contributions.Comment: 14 pages, 1 figur
