Semitauonic B Decay Anomaly

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2016-02-09 v3

Abstract

The anomalously large experimentally measured ratios of the semitauonic decay BD()+τ+νB\rightarrow D^{(*)} +\tau+\nu and the corresponding semileptonic BD+\l+νˉlB\rightarrow D^{*} +\l+\bar{\nu}_l disagree with the predictions of the standard E.W + QCD model(S.M). We briefly comment on this disagreement and on possible new physics explanations which are rather constrained and difficult to implement.
