THE EFFECT OF Z′ BOSON ON SAME-SIGN DIMUON CHARGE ASYMMETRY IN $B_q^0-\overline{B_q^0}$ SYSTEM

Abstract

The recent observation of the same-sign dimuon charge asymmetry in the B system by the D0 collaboration has 3.9σ deviation from the standard model prediction. However, the recent LHCb data on Bs neutral-meson mixing do not accommodate the D0 collaboration result. In this paper, considering the effect of Z′-mediated flavor-changing neutral currents in the [Formula: see text] mixing, the same-sign dimuon charge asymmetry is calculated. We find the same-sign dimuon charge asymmetry is enhanced from its SM prediction and provides signals for new physics beyond the SM.
