Abstract
- The measurements of RK(*)=B(B→K(*)µ+µ-)/B(B→K(*)e+e-) in recent years have hinted lepton flavor nonuniversality and thus drawn widespread attentions. If these anomalies are induced by new physics (NP), deviations from the SM predictions may also be found in other channels via the same process at the quark level. In this work, we study in B→K1(1270,1400)µ+µ- decays the effects of two popular classes of NP models which can address the b→s anomalies, i.e., the leptoquark models and the Z' models. By assuming that NP only affects the b→sµ+µ- transition, we find that the unpolarized and polarized lepton flavor universality (LFU) ratios RK(L,T)1(1270) are useful to distinguish among the NP models (scenarios) and the SM because they are sensitive to the NP effects and insensitive to the mixing angle θK1, while the RK(L,T)1(1400) are sensitive to both NP and θK1. Another ratio Rµ(K1)=B(B→K1(1400)µ+µ-)/B(B→K1(1270)µ+µ-) is shown to depend weekly on the effects from the NP models (scenarios) under consideration, and thus can be used to determine the θK1 and complement the RK(L,T)1 in the probe for NP.
