Abstract

We study the influence of a charged-Higgs on the excess of branching fraction ratio, RM=BR(BˉMτνˉτ)/BR(BˉMνˉ)R_M = BR(\bar B \to M \tau \bar\nu_\tau)/BR(\bar B \to M \ell \bar \nu_\ell) (M=D,D)(M=D, D^*), in a generic two-Higgs-doublet model. In order to investigate the lepton polarization, the detailed decay amplitudes with lepton helicity are given. When the charged-Higgs is used to resolve excesses, it is found that two independent Yukawa couplings are needed to explain the RDR_D and RDR_{D^*} anomalies. We show that when the upper limit of BR(Bcτνˉτ)<30%BR(B_c \to \tau \bar \nu_\tau)<30\% is included, RDR_D can be significantly enhanced while RD<0.27R_{D^*}<0.27. With the BR(Bcτνˉτ)BR(B_c\to \tau \bar \nu_\tau) constraint, we find that the τ\tau-lepton polarizations can be still affected by the charged-Higgs effects, where the standard model (SM) predictions are obtained as: PDτ0.324P^\tau_{D} \approx 0.324 and PDτ0.500P^\tau_{D^*}\approx -0.500, and they can be enhanced to be PDτ0.5P^\tau_{D} \approx 0.5 and PDτ0.41P^\tau_{D^*} \approx -0.41 by the charged-Higgs. The integrated lepton froward-backward asymmetry (FBA) is also studied, where the SM result is AˉFBD(),τ0.359(0.064)\bar A^{D^{(*)},\tau}_{FB} \approx -0.359(0.064), and they can be enhanced (decreased) to be AˉFBD(),τ0.33(0.02)\bar A^{D^{(*)},\tau}_{FB} \approx -0.33 (0.02).
