Revisiting B_s\to\mu^+\mu^- and B\to K^{(*)}\mu^+\mu^- decays in the MSSM with and without R-parity

Abstract

The rare decays B_s -> \mu^+\mu^- and B -> K^{(*)}\mu^+\mu^- are sensitive to new particles and couplings via their interferences with the standard model contributions. Recently, the upper bound on B(B_s -> \mu^+\mu^-) has been improved significantly by the CMS, LHCb, CDF, and DØ experiments. Combining with the measurements of B(B-> K^{(*)}\mu^+\mu^-), we derive constraints on the relevant parameters of minimal supersymmetic standard model with and without R-parity, and examine their contributions to the dimuon forward-backward asymmetry in B-> K^{*}\mu^+\mu^- decay. We find that (i) the contribution of R-parity violating coupling products \lambda^{\prime}_{2i2}\lambda^{\prime*}_{2i3} due to squark exchange is comparable with the theoretical uncertainties in B-> K \mu^+\mu^- decay, but still could be significant in B-> K^{*}\mu^+\mu^- decay and could account for the forward-backward asymmetry in all dimuon invariant mass regions; (ii) the constrained mass insertion (\delta^{u}_{LL})_{23} could have significant contribution to dA_{FB}(B-> K^{*}\mu^+\mu^-)/ds, and such effects are favored by thr recent results of the Belle, CDF, and LHCb experiments.
