Large effects on $\BsBs$ mixing by vector-like quarks

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-11-07 v3

Abstract

We calculate the contributions of the vector-like quark model to \BsBs\BsBs mixing, taking into account the constraints from the decay BXsγB\to X_s\gamma. In this model the neutral bosons mediate flavor-changing interactions at the tree level. However, \BsBs\BsBs mixing is dominated by contributions from the box diagrams with the top quark and the extra up-type quark. In sizable ranges of the model parameters, the mixing parameter xsx_s is much different from the standard model prediction.
