Correlating B_q⁰ to μ^+μ^- and K_L to π⁰νbarν Decays with Four Generations
read the original abstract
The long-awaited $B_s\to \mu^+\mu^-$ mode has finally been observed at rate consistent with Standard Model, albeit lower by 1.2$\sigma$. There is some hint for New Physics in the rarer $B_d^0 \to \mu^+\mu^-$ decay, especially if the currently 2.2$\sigma$-enhanced central value persists with more data. The measurement of $CP$ violating phase $\phi_s$, via both $B_s\to J/\psi K\bar K$ and $J/\psi\pi\pi$ modes, has reached Standard Model sensitivity. These measurements stand major improvement when LHC enters Run 2. Concurrently, the $K_L\to\pi^0\nu\bar\nu$ and $K^+\to\pi^+\nu\bar\nu$ modes are being pursued in a similar time frame. We illustrate the possible correlations between New Physics effects in these four modes, using the fourth generation as example. While correlations may or may not exist in other New Physics models, the four generation model can accommodate enhancements in both $B_d^0 \to \mu^+\mu^-$ and $K_L\to\pi^0\nu\bar\nu$.
