Semi-leptonic $B\to S$ decays in the standard model and in the universal extra dimension model

Abstract

In this article, we assume the two nonets of scalar mesons below and above 1 GeV are all $\bar{q}q$ states, and study the semi-leptonic decays $B\to S{\ell }^{-}{\bar{\nu }}_{\ell }$, $B\to S{\ell }^{+}{\ell }^{-}$ and $B\to S\bar{\nu }\nu$ both in the standard model and in the universal extra dimension model using the $B-S$ form-factors calculated by the light-cone QCD sum rules in our previous work. We obtain the partial decay widths and decay widths, which can be confronted with the experimental data in the future to examine the natures of the scalar mesons and constrain the basic parameter in the universal extra dimension model, the compactification scale $1/R$.
