Abstract

There are several anomalous measurements in the decays induced by the quark level transition bsμ+μb \to s \mu^+ \mu^-, which do not agree with the predictions of the Standard Model. These measurements could be considered as signatures of physics beyond the Standard Model. Working within the framework of effective field theory, several groups have performed global fits to all bsμ+μb \to s \mu^+ \mu^- data to identify the Lorentz structure of possible new physics. Many new physics scenarios have been suggested to explain the anomalies in the bsμ+μb \to s \mu^+ \mu^- sector. In this work, we investigate the impact of these new physics scenarios on the radiative leptonic decay of BsB_s meson. We consider the branching ratio of this decay along with the ratio RγR_{\gamma} of the differential distribution Bsμ+μγB_s \to \mu^+ \mu^- \gamma \& Bse+eγB_s \to e^+ e^- \gamma and the muon forward-backward asymmetry AFBA_{FB}. We find that the predicted values of the branching ratio and AFBA_{FB} are close to the SM results for all allowed new physics solutions whereas some of the solutions allow large deviation in RγR_{\gamma} from its SM prediction.
