Probing new physics with
: Status and perspectives
Abstract
The rare decay plays a key role for the testing of the Standard Model. It is pointed out that the sizable decay width difference ΔΓs of the Bs-meson system affects this channel in a subtle way. As a consequence, its calculated Standard Model branching ratio has to be upscaled by about 10%. Moreover, the sizable ΔΓs makes a new observable through the effective
lifetime accessible, which probes New Physics in a way complementary to the branching ratio and adds an exciting new topic to the agenda for the high-luminosity upgrade of the LHC. Further probes of New Physics are offered by a CP-violating rate asymmetry. Correlations between these observables and the
branching ratio are illustrated for specific models of New Physics.
