Abstract

We study a model with a down-type SU(2) singlet vector-like quark (VLQ) as a minimal extension of the standard model (SM). In this model, flavor changing neutral currents (FCNCs) arise at tree level and the unitarity of the 3×33\times 3 Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix does not hold. In this paper, we constrain the FCNC coupling from bsb\rightarrow s transitions, especially Bsμ+μB_s\rightarrow \mu^+\mu^- and BˉXsγ\bar{B}\rightarrow X_s\gamma processes. In order to analyze these processes, we derive an effective Lagrangian which is valid below the electroweak symmetry breaking scale. For this purpose, we first integrate out the VLQ field and derive an effective theory by matching Wilson coefficients up to one-loop level. Using the effective theory, we construct the effective Lagrangian for bsγ()b\rightarrow s\gamma^{(*)}. It includes the effects of the SM quarks and the violation of the CKM unitarity. We show the constraints on the magnitude of the FCNC coupling and its phase by taking account of the current experimental data on ΔMBs\Delta M_{B_s}, Br[Bsμ+μ]\mathrm{Br}[B_s\rightarrow\mu^+\mu^-], Br[BˉXsγ]\mathrm{Br}[\bar{B}\rightarrow X_s\gamma] and CKM matrix elements as well as theoretical uncertainties. We find that the constraint from the Br[Bsμ+μ]\mathrm{Br}[B_s\rightarrow\mu^+\mu^-] is more stringent than that from the Br[BˉXsγ\mathrm{Br}[\bar{B}\rightarrow X_s\gamma]. We also obtain the bound for the mass of the VLQ and the strength of the Yukawa couplings related to the FCNC coupling of bsb\rightarrow s transition. Using the CKM elements which satisfy above constraints, we show how the unitarity is violated on the complex plane.
