B -> X_s l+ l- in the vectorlike quark model
Abstract
We extend the standard model by adding an extra generation of isosinglet up- and down-type quark pair which engage in weak interactions only via mixing with the three ordinary quark families. It is shown that the generalized quark mixing matrix, which is necessarily nonunitary, leads to nonvanishing flavor changing neutral currents. We then proceed to investigate various distributions and total branching ratio of the inclusive B -> X_s l+ l- (l =e,\mu) rare B decays in the context of this model. It is shown that the shapes of the differential branching ratio and forward-backward asymmetry distribution are very sensitive to the value of the model parameters which are constrained by the experimental upper bound on BR(B -> X_s \mu^+ \mu^-). We also indicate that, for certain values of the dileptonic invariant mass, CP asymmetries up to 10% can be obtained.
