New Physics signature in $D^0({\bar{D}}^0)\to f$ effective width asymmetries

Abstract

Violation of charge conjugation-parity ($\mathrm{CP}$) symmetry plays a major rule in the dominance of matter in our universe. A kind of $\mathrm{CP}$ violation results from the asymmetry of the life time measured in $M^0$ and ${\bar{M}}^0$, here $M$ is a heavy meson, decays to final states which is referred in the literature as $A_{\Gamma }^f$. In this paper, we give an estimation of the upper bound on $|A_{\Gamma }^f|$ for the Cabibbo Favored $D^0\to K^{-}{\pi }^{+}$ decay process in different models. We show that in the standard model, $|A_{\Gamma }^f|\lesssim \mathcal{O}(10^{-10})$. Recently a bound on $A_{\Gamma }^f$ has been obtained: $(A_{\Gamma }^f{)}^{Exp.}=(1.6\pm 1)\times 10^{-4}$. This result motivates further studies on $A_{\Gamma }^f$ in beyond standard model physics. In the framework of two Higgs doublet model with generic Yukawa structure, we show that $|A_{\Gamma }^f|\lesssim \mathcal{O}(10^{-7})$ which is several orders of magnitude smaller than the current experimental value. Finally, in the framework of left-right symmetric models in which the mixing between the left and the right gauge bosons is allowed and the left-right symmetry is not manifest at unification scale, we find that $A_{\Gamma }^f$ can be as large as $|A_{\Gamma }^f|\lesssim \mathcal{O}(10^{-5})$ which is one order of magnitude smaller than the experimentally measured value by LHCb collaborators.
