Using b→sγb \to s\gamma to Probe Top Quark Couplings

Possible anomalous couplings of the top-quark to on-shell photons and gluons are constrained by the recent results of the CLEO Collaboration on both inclusive and exclusive radiative $B$ decays. We find that the process \bsg\ can lead to reasonable bounds on both the anomalous electric and magnetic dipole moments of the top-quark, while essentially no limits are obtained on the corresponding chromoelectric and chromomagnetic moments, which enter the expression for the decay rate only through operator mixing.Comment: 10 pages plus 6 figures (available by request), LaTex, ANL-HEP-PR-93-3

Supersymmetric b→sγb \rightarrow s \gamma with Large Chargino Contributions

Supersymmetric (SUSY) theories are often thought to give large branching ratios for $b \rightarrow s \gamma$ from charged Higgs loops. We show that in many cases chargino loop contributions can cancel those of the Higgs, and SUSY can give $B(b \rightarrow s \gamma)$ at or below the \SM\ prediction. We show this occurs because the large stop mass splittings usually found in SUSY break a GIM mechanism suppression. These effects are strongly enhanced by large $\tan\beta$, so that $B(b \rightarrow s \gamma)$ is very sensitive to the value of $\tan\beta$, contrary to what has been claimed. We also note that the supergravity relation $B_0 = A_0-1$ is somewhat disfavored over the general case.Comment: TRI-PP-93-66. 12pp (Plain LATEX)+4 fig not incl.

Recalculation of QCD Corrections to b→sγb \to s \gamma Decay

We give a more complete calculation of $b \to s\gamma$ decay, including leading log QCD corrections from $m_{top}$ to $M_W$ in addition to corrections from $M_{W}$ to $m_b$. We have included the full set of dimension-6 operators and corrected numerical mistakes of anomalous dimensions in a previous paper\cite{Cho}. Comparing with the calculations without QCD running from $m_{top}$ to $M_W$\cite{Mis}, the inclusive decay rate is found to be enhanced. At $m_t=150$GeV, it results in 12\% enhancement, and for $m_t=250$GeV, 15\% is found. The total QCD effect makes an enhanced factor of 4.2 at $m_t=150$GeV, and 3.2 for $m_t=250$GeV.Comment: 16 pages, 7 figures (uuencoded ps files), Changes of description. To appear in Phys. Rev.

Multiplicity Distributions in b→s gluonb\rightarrow s\ gluon Decays

The final states for the process $b \rightarrow s\ \gamma$ have been extensively discussed in the literature. Similarly-detailed analyses for the case $b \rightarrow s\ gluon$ have not been performed. Generally this process is searched for in 2-body decays such as ${\rm B}^0 \rightarrow {\rm K}^+ \pi^-$. We present simple arguments to suggest that most of the time the quark-level process will give rise to final states with rather high multiplicities. Comments are made about the applicability of these results to $b \rightarrow d\ gluon$ and hadronic $b\rightarrow u$ decays.Comment: 11 pages, uuencoded postscript fil

Penguin-Diagram Induced B→KXϕB \rightarrow K_X\phi Decays in the Standard Model and in the Two-Higgs-Doublet Model

We systematically analyse the gluonic penguin-induced charmless decays B \ra K_X\phi($K_X$ denotes the meson state $s\bar q \;(q=u\ {\rm or}\ d)$ ), in the standard model and the two-Higgs-doublet model. These processes, being induced at one-loop level, are of great importance in measuring the virtual top quark effect in the standard model, and also in searching for the non-standard signals in the low energy region. It is shown that the QCD effect is also significant in these processes, as in the weak radiative processes B \ra X_s \gamma. We also show that the charged Higgs contribution can not provide sizable enhancements for the decays B \ra K_X\phi, in contrast to the decays B \ra K_X\gamma. It is also found that processes such as B \ra K_1(1400)\phi and B \ra K(1460)\phi have large branching fractions among B \ra K_X\phi decays.Comment: 18pages, Latex. Paper (Hayashi, Takemi et al.

Examination of the Resonance Contributions to Dileptonic Rare B-Decays

We analyse the long-distance contribution to $B\to X_s\ell^+\ell^-$ differential decay rate when the momentum dependence of $\psi$ and $\psi'$-$\gamma$ conversion strength is taken into account. The results indicate that the resonance to nonresonance interference in the dilepton invariant mass distribution is substantially reduced.Comment: 10 pages, Latex, one figure (included

b→sγb \to s \gamma Decay and Right-handed Top-bottom Charged Current

We introduce an anomalous top quark coupling (right-handed current) into Standard Model Lagrangian. Based on this, a more complete calculation of $b \to s\gamma$ decay including leading log QCD corrections from $m_{top}$ to $M_W$ in addition to corrections from $M_{W}$ to $m_b$ is given. The inclusive decay rate is found to be suppressed comparing with the case without QCD running from $m_t$ to $M_W$ except at the time of small values of $|f_R^{tb}|$. e.g. when $f_R^{tb}=-0.08$, it is only $1/10$ of the value given before. As $|f_R^{tb}|$ goes smaller, this contribution is an enhancement like standard model case. From the newly experiment of CLEO Collaboration, strict restrictions to parameters of this top-bottom quark coupling are found.Comment: 20 Pages, 2 figures( ps file uuencoded)

Constraining the Two-Higgs-Doublet-Model parameter space

We confront the Two-Higgs-Doublet Model with a variety of experimental constraints as well as theoretical consistency conditions. The most constraining data are the \bar B\to X_s\gamma decay rate (at low values of M_{H^\pm}), and \Delta\rho (at both low and high M_{H^\pm}). We also take into account the B\bar B oscillation rate and R_b, or the width \Gamma(Z\to b\bar b) (both of which restrict the model at low values of \tan\beta), and the B^-\to\tau\nu_\tau decay rate, which restricts the model at high \tan\beta and low M_{H^\pm}. Furthermore, the LEP2 non-discovery of a light, neutral Higgs boson is considered, as well as the muon anomalous magnetic moment. Since perturbative unitarity excludes high values of \tan\beta, the model turns out to be very constrained. We outline the remaining allowed regions in the \tan\beta-M_{H^\pm} plane for different values of the masses of the two lightest neutral Higgs bosons, and describe some of their properties.Comment: 17 pages, 17 figure
