Towards a Generic Parametrisation of “New Physics” in Quark-Flavour Mixing
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider a special class of dimension-six operators which are assumed to be induced by some new physics with typical scales of order Λ. This special class are the operators with two quarks which can mediate transitions between quark flavours. We show that under quite general assumptions the effect of these operators can be parametrised in terms of six parameters, leading to a modification of the (at tree level flavour diagonal) neutral currents and to an “effective CKM matrix” for the charged currents, which is not necessarily unitary any more. The effects of these operators on charged and neutral currents are studied.

A global fit to quark flavour-physics data disfavours the Standard Model with 3.6 standard deviations and points towards new CP-violating physics in meson-antimeson mixing amplitudes. Tevatron data call for a new Bs−Bs mixing phase and new physics in Bd−Bd mixing alleviates the tension on the unitarity triangle driven by B(B → τν). In supersymmetric GUT models the large atmospheric neutrino mix...
متن کاملAnatomy of New Physics in B–B mixing
We analyse three different New Physics scenarios for ∆F = 2 flavour-changing neutral currents in the quark sector in the light of recent data on neutral-meson mixing. We parametrise generic New Physics contributions to Bq−Bq mixing, q = d, s, in terms of one complex quantity ∆q, while three parameters ∆ tt K , ∆ ct K and ∆ cc K are needed to describe K−K mixing. In Scenario I, we consider uncor...
متن کاملFlavour Changing Neutral Current Effects from Flavour Dependent Supergravity Couplings
We investigate the impact on low energy flavour mixing phenomena of the renormalisation group running of parameters in supersymmetric theories. We have explicitly chosen flavour dependent supergravity couplings. The renormalisation group equations are displayed in general matrix form. We work in a scale dependent basis such that the hierarchy in the quark masses can be more easily utilised. Sim...
متن کاملShedding light on flavour symmetries with rare decays of quarks and leptons
In the last few years there has been a great experimental progress in quark and lepton flavour physics. On the quark side, the two B-factories have been very successful, both from the accelerator and the detector point of view. As a result, all the relevant parameters describing quark-flavour mixing within the Standard Model (quark masses and CKM angles) are now know with good accuracy. Despite...
متن کاملGluino-mediated Rare B Decays *
Apart from the low-energy regime of the strong interaction, flavour physics is the least tested part of the SM. This is reflected in the rather large error bars of several flavour parameters such as the mixing parameters at the twenty percent level [1]. However, the experimental situation concerning B physics will drastically change in the near future. There are several B physics experiments su...
