Abstract

New decay modes of BB-meson into a baryon and invisible dark antibaryon Ψ\Psi are among the most distinctive signatures of the BB-mesogenesis scenario. We concentrate on the proton mode and consider two versions of the underlying interaction of Ψ\Psi with quarks, the so-called models (d)(d) and (b)(b). To estimate the width of the B+pΨB^+\to p \Psi decay, we obtain the B+pB^+\to p transition form factors, applying QCD light-cone sum rules (LCSRs) with BB-meson distribution amplitudes with an accuracy up to twist-5, while interpolating the proton with a current. This method is independent of the previously applied one, which was based on the nucleon distribution amplitudes. We estimate the partial width of the B+pΨB^+\to p \Psi decay as a function of the dark antibaryon mass. Furthermore, we use the ratio of this width to the inclusive BXNΨB\to X_N \Psi width, the latter predicted earlier using the heavy quark expansion method. This ratio, which is independent of the effective coupling, when combined with the minimal inclusive branching fraction of O(104)O(10^{-4}), necessary for the feasibility of BB-mesogenesis, yields lower limits on the B+pΨB^+\to p \Psi branching fraction. We confront these limits with the most recent upper bounds obtained from BaBar and Belle/Belle II searches for the decays of B+B^+-meson into a proton and missing energy. The comparison indicates that experimental upper bounds on the branching fraction of BpΨB\to p \Psi at the level of 10810710^{-8}-10^{-7} are needed for a decisive probe of this invisible mode of BB decays.
