Abstract

At Moriond 2019, Belle collaboration has announced new measurements on the flavour ratios RDRDR_D - R_{D^*} which are consistent with their Standard Model predictions within 1.2σ1.2\sigma. After inclusion of these measurements, the global tension in RDRDR_D - R_{D^*} has reduced from 4.1σ4.1\sigma to 3.1σ3.1\sigma which is still significant. The measurements of these ratios indicate towards the violation of lepton flavor universality in bclνˉb\rightarrow c\,l\,\bar{\nu} decay. Assuming new physics in bcτνˉb\rightarrow c\,\tau\,\bar{\nu} transition, we have done a global fit to all available data in this sector to identify the allowed new physics solutions. We find that there are seven allowed new physics solutions which can account for all measurements in bcτνˉb\rightarrow c\,\tau\,\bar{\nu} transition. We show that a simultaneous measurement of the τ\tau polarization fraction and forward-backward asymmetry in BDτνˉB\rightarrow D\,\tau\,\bar{\nu}, the zero crossing point of forward backward asymmetry in BDτνˉB\rightarrow D^*\tau\bar{\nu} and the branching ratio of BcτνˉB_c\rightarrow \tau\,\bar{\nu} decay can distinguish these seven new physics solutions if they can be measured with a required precision.
