Abstract

The recent observations of the purely leptonic decay \Dsμ+νμ\Ds \to \mu^+ \nu_{\mu} and τ+ντ\tau^+\nu_{\tau} at CLEO-c and BB factory may allow a possible contribution from a charged Higgs boson. One such measurement of the decay constant fDsf_{D_s} differs from the most precise unquenched lattice QCD calculation by 4 σ\sigma level. Meanwhile, the measured ratio, BR(\Dsμ+νμ){\cal BR}(\Ds \to \mu^+ \nu_{\mu}) / BR(\Dpμ+νμ){\cal BR}(\Dp \to \mu^+ \nu_{\mu}), is larger than the standard model prediction at 2.0σ\sigma level. We discuss that the precise measurement of the ratio BR(\Dsμ+νμ){\cal BR}(\Ds \to \mu^+ \nu_{\mu}) / BR(\Dpμ+νμ){\cal BR}(\Dp \to \mu^+ \nu_{\mu}) at BES-III will shed light on the presence of new intermediate particles by comparing the theoretical predictions, especially, the predictions of high precise unquenched lattice QCD calculation.
