$b\to s{\ell }^{+}{\ell }^{-}$ in the Left-Right Symmetric Model

Abstract

We begin to analyze and contrast the predictions for the decay $b\to s{\ell }^{+}{\ell }^{-}$ in the Left-Right Symmetric Model(LRM) with those of the Standard Model(SM). In particular, we show that the forward-backward asymmetry of the lepton spectrum can be used to distinguish the SM from the simplest manifestation of the LRM.
