abstract

We have recently seen new upper bounds for $B^0_s\to \mu^+\mu^-$, a key decay to search for physics beyond the Standard Model. Furthermore a non-vanishing decay width difference $\Delta\Gamma_s$ of the $B_s$ system has been measured. We show that $\Delta\Gamma_s$ affects the extraction of the $B^0_s\to \mu^+\mu^-$ branching ratio and the resulting constraints on the New Physics parameter space, and give formulae for including this effect. Moreover, we point out that $\Delta\Gamma_s$ provides a new observable, the effective $B^0_s\to \mu^+\mu^-$ lifetime $\tau_{\mu^+\mu^-}$, which offers a theoretically clean probe for New Physics searches that is complementary to the branching ratio. Should the $B^0_s\to \mu^+\mu^-$ branching ratio agree with the Standard Model, the measurement of $\tau_{\mu^+\mu^-}$, which appears feasible at upgrades of the LHC experiments, may still reveal large New Physics effects.

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    A matching framework from arbitrary KSVZ UV completions to SMEFT and ALP EFT yields robust operator bounds from global fits that often dominate direct ALP searches except when mass mixing occurs.

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Adding one triplet and one singlet scalar leptoquark to the 331RHN model generates one-loop Majorana masses for active neutrinos and two-loop masses for sterile neutrinos, with benchmark parameters consistent with cur...

    In Z' models with suppressed B_s mixing, SU(2)L and SMEFT RG correlations tie the B_s, D, and K sectors together and predict B to K(K*) nu nu enhancements of up to 20% when b to s mu mu rates are suppressed.

    A generational three-Higgs-doublet model is constructed, and flavor constraints show that its additional Higgs bosons can be as light as about 1.5 TeV if the only flavor violation is the minimal amount needed to repro...
