New Physics in B-Bbar mixing in the light of recent LHCb data

Lenz, A., Nierste, U., Charles, J. et al.

Understand

We perform model-independent statistical analyses of three scenarios accommodating New Physics (NP) in Delta F=2 flavour-changing neutral current amplitudes.

  • In a scenario in which NP in B_d-B_d-bar and B_s-B_s-bar is uncorrelated, we find the parameter point representing the Standard-Model disfavoured by 2.4 standard deviations.
  • However, recent LHCb data on B_s neutral-meson mixing forbid a good accommodation of the D0 data on the semileptonic CP asymmetry A_SL.
  • We introduce a fourth scenario with NP in both M_12^d,s and Gamma_12^d,s, which can accommodate all data.
