Light-cone sum rules with $B$-meson distribution amplitudes for the $B\to p$ form factors in $B$-mesogenesis models
Abstract
New decay modes of -meson into a baryon and invisible dark antibaryon are among the most distinctive signatures of the -mesogenesis scenario. We concentrate on the proton mode and consider two versions of the underlying interaction of with quarks, the so-called models and . To estimate the width of the decay, we obtain the transition form factors, applying QCD light-cone sum rules (LCSRs) with -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 decay as a function of the dark antibaryon mass. Furthermore, we use the ratio of this width to the inclusive 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 , necessary for the feasibility of -mesogenesis, yields lower limits on the branching fraction. We confront these limits with the most recent upper bounds obtained from BaBar and Belle/Belle II searches for the decays of -meson into a proton and missing energy. The comparison indicates that experimental upper bounds on the branching fraction of at the level of are needed for a decisive probe of this invisible mode of decays.
