Searching for new physics in the angular distribution of B^0 -> phi K^* decay

Motivated by the possible discrepancy between the observed CP asymmetry and that of standard model expectation in the decay mode B^0 -> phi K_S, we study the corresponding vector vector decay mode B^0 -> phi K^*. In order to obtain decisive information regarding the CP violating effect, we made the angular distribution analysis of the decay products, where both the outgoing vector mesons decay into two pseudoscalars. Furthermore, we study the possible effects of new physics using the angular distribution observables.Comment: LaTex, 16 pages, 1 figur

Explaining B \to K pi anomaly with non-universal Z' boson

We study the effect of non-universal $Z'$ boson in the decay modes $B \to K \pi$. In the standard model these modes receive dominant contributions from $b \to s$ QCD penguins. Therefore, in this limit one expects $S_{\pi^0 K^0} \approx \sin 2 \beta$, $A_{\pi^0 K^0} \approx 0$ and $A_{\pi^0 K^-} \approx A_{\pi^+ K^-}$. The corrections due to the presence of small non-penguin contributions is found to yield $S_{\pi^0 K^0} > \sin 2 \beta$ and $\Delta A_{CP}(K \pi) \simeq 2.5$. However, the measured value of $S_{\pi^0 K^0}$ is less than $\sin 2 \beta$ and $\Delta A_{CP}(K \pi) \simeq 15$. We show the model with a non-universal $Z'$ boson can successfully explain these anomalies.Comment: 11 pages, 3 figure

Implications of lepton nonuniversality in the beauty sector

The phenomenon of CP violation in the standard model (SM) framework and the decay dynamics have been established from the data obtained from the B factories and so far we have not seen anything new. Nevertheless, there have been instances of deviations in many measured observables in the flavor sector, as far as the data and predictions are concerned. Here we will mention some deviations obtained in measurements related to lepton universality, as seen from the data, and try to understand their implications. To accommodate the observed data we will consider a leptoquark model, which seems to be one interesting model beyond the SM.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figures, talk given at BEACH 2016, George Mason University, Fairfax, Virginia, USA, June 201

Bs0−Bˉs0B_s^0 - \bar B_s^0 mixing and b→sb \to s transitions in isosinglet down quark model

The recent observation of the mass difference in $B_s$ system seems to be not in complete agreement with the corresponding standard model value. We consider the model with an extra vector like down quark to explain this discrepancy and obtain the constraints on the new physics parameters. Thereafter, we show that with these new constraints this model can successfully explain other observed deviations associated with $b \to s$ transitions, namely, $B_s \to \psi \phi$, $B\to K \pi$ and $B\to \phi K_s$.Comment: 19 pages, 6 figure
