Abstract

If the HyperCP three events for the decay of Σ+pμ+μ\Sigma^+\to p\mu^+\mu^- are explained by a new pseudoscalar (axial-vector) boson XP(A)X_{P(A)} with a mass of 214.3 MeV, we study the constraints on the couplings between XP(A)X_{P(A)} and fermions from the experimental data in KK and BB processes. Some implications of the new particle on flavor changing BB and τ\tau decays are given. Explicitly, we show that the decay branching ratios of BsϕXP(A)ϕμ+μB_{s}\to\phi X_{P(A)}\to \phi\mu^{+}\mu^{-}, BdK0(1430)P(A)K0(1430)μ+μB_{d}\to K_{0}^{*}(1430){P(A)}\to K_{0}^{*}(1430)\mu^{+}\mu^{-} and τμXP(A)μμ+μ\tau\to\mu X_{P(A)}\to\mu\mu^{+}\mu^{-} can be as large as 2.7(2.8)×1062.7 (2.8)\times 10^{-6}, 7.4(7.5)×1077.4 (7.5)\times 10^{-7} and 1.7(0.14)×1071.7 (0.14)\times 10^{-7}, respectively.
