Indirect bounds on new physics for $R(D^{(*)})$

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2022-10-03 v1

Abstract

The Standard Model prediction of the BcB_c lifetime is discussed, together with the dominant uncertainties and strategies on how to improve them. Furthermore, a new method to compute the BcB_c lifetime based on the operator product expansion is proposed. It relies on differences of B,DB,\,D and BcB_c meson decay rates, in which the free-quark contributions cancel out, reducing the uncertainty of the theory prediction.
