Abstract

The implications of the family non-universal ZZ^\prime model in the BK1(1270,1400)+(=e,μ,τ)B\to K_{1}(1270,1400)\ell^{+}\ell^{-}(\ell=e\,,\mu\,,\tau) decays are explored, where the mass eigenstates K1(1270,1400)K_{1}(1270,1400) are the mixtures of 1P1^{1}{P}_{1} and 3P1^{3}{P}_{1} states with the mixing angle θ\theta. In this work, considering the ZZ^\prime boson and setting the mixing angle θ=(34±13)\theta=(-34\pm13)^{\circ}, we analyze the branching ratio, the dilepton invariant mass spectrum, the normalized forward-backward asymmetry and lepton polarization asymmetries of each decay mode. We find that all observables of BK1(1270)μ+μB\to K_{1}(1270)\mu^{+}\mu^{-} are sensitive to the ZZ^{\prime} contribution. Moreover, the observables of BK1(1400)μ+μB\to K_{1}(1400)\mu^{+}\mu^{-} are relatively strong θ\theta-dependence; thus, the ZZ^{\prime} contribution will be buried by the uncertainty of the mixing angle θ\theta. Furthermore, the zero crossing position in the FBA spectrum of BK1(1270)μ+μB\to K_{1}(1270)\mu^{+}\mu^{-} at low dilepton mass will move to the positive direction with ZZ^\prime contribution. For the tau modes, the effects of ZZ^\prime are not remarkable due to the small phase space. These results could be tested in the running LHC-b experiment and Super-B factory.
