Abstract

In the testable Flipped SU(5)×U(1)XSU(5)\times U(1)_X model with TeV-scale vector-like particles from F-theory model building dubbed as the flip SU(5) model, we study the vector-like quark contributions to B physics processes, including the quark mass spectra, Feynman rules, new operators and Wilson coefficients, etc. We focus on the implications of the vector-like quark mass scale on B physics. We find that there exists the sˉbZ\bar{s}bZ interaction at tree level, and the Yukawa interactions are changed. Interestingly, different from many previous models, the effects of vector-like quarks on rare B decays such as BXsγB\to X_s\gamma and BXs+B\to X_s\ell^+\ell^- do not decouple in some viable parameter space, especially when the vector-like quark masses are comparable to the charged Higgs boson mass. Under the constraints from BXsγB\to X_s\gamma and  BXs+\ B\to X_s\ell^+\ell^-, the latest measurement for Bsμ+μB_s\to \mu^+\mu^- can be explained naturally, and the branching ratio of Bs+γB_s\to \ell^+\ell^-\gamma can be up to (45)×108(4\sim5)\times10^{-8}. The non-decouling effects are much more predictable and thus the \fsu5 model may be tested in the near future experiments.
