$b\to c\tau \bar{\nu }$ decays in supersymmetry with $R$-parity violation

Abstract

In the past few years, several hints of lepton flavour universality (LFU) violation have emerged in the $b\to c\tau \bar{\nu }$ and $b\to s{\ell }^{+}{\ell }^{-}$ data. Quite recently, the Belle Collaboration has reported the first measurement of the $D^{\ast }$ longitudinal polarization fraction in the $B\to D^{\ast }\tau \bar{\nu }$ decay. Motivated by this intriguing result, together with the recent measurements of $R_{J/\psi }$ and $\tau$ polarization, we study $b\to c\tau \bar{\nu }$ decays in the Supersymmetry (SUSY) with $R$-parity violation (RPV). We consider $B\to D^{(\ast )}\tau \bar{\nu }$, $B_c\to {\eta }_c\tau \bar{\nu }$, $B_c\to J/\psi \tau \bar{\nu }$ and ${\Lambda }_b\to {\Lambda }_c\tau \bar{\nu }$ modes and focus on the branching ratios, the LFU ratios, the forward-backward asymmetries, polarizations of daughter hadrons and $\tau$ lepton. It is found that the RPV SUSY can explain the $R_{D^{(\ast )}}$ anomalies at $2\sigma$ level, after taking into account various flavour constraints. In the allowed parameter space, the differential branching fractions and LFU ratios are largely enhanced by the SUSY effects, especially in the large dilepton invariant mass region. In addition, a lower bound $\mathcal{B}(B^{+}\to K^{+}\nu \bar{\nu })>7.37\times 10^{-6}$ is obtained. These observables could provide testable signatures at the High-Luminosity LHC and SuperKEKB, and correlate with direct searches for SUSY.
