Signature of Lepton flavor universality violation in $B_s\to D_s\tau \nu$ semileptonic decays

Abstract

Deviation from the standard model prediction is observed in many semileptonic $B$ decays mediated via $b\to c$ charged current interactions. In particular, current experimental measurements of the ratio of branching ratio $R_D$ and $R_{D^{\ast }}$ in $B\to D^{(\ast )}l\nu$ decays disagree with standard model expectations at the level of about $4.1\sigma$. Moreover, recent measurement of the ratio of branching ratio $R_{J/\Psi }$ by LHCb, where $R_{J/\Psi }=\mathcal{B}(B_c\to J/\Psi \tau \nu )/\mathcal{B}(B_c\to J/\Psi \mu \nu )$, is more than $2\sigma$ away from the standard model prediction. In this context, we consider an effective Lagrangian in the presence of vector and scalar new physics couplings to study the implications of $R_D$ and $R_{D^{\ast }}$ anomalies in $B_s\to D_s\tau \nu$ decays. We give prediction of several observables such as branching ratio, ratio of branching ratio, forward backward asymmetry parameter, $\tau$ polarization fraction, and the convexity parameter for the $B_s\to D_s\tau \nu$ decays within the standard model and within various new physics scenarios.
