Tauonic B decays in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model

Abstract

We study new physics effects on B decay processes including a final τ\tau particle, namely BDτνB \to D \tau \nu and BτνB \to \tau \nu. An important feature of these processes is that a charged Higgs boson can contribute to the decay amplitude at the tree level in models such as Two Higgs Doublet Model and the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM). We derive a resummed effective Lagrangian for charged-Higgs mediated interactions in the MSSM with the Minimal Flavor Violation. Including supersymmetric (SUSY) loop corrections for down-type-quark and charged-lepton Yukawa couplings, we calculate the branching ratios of the BDτνB \to D \tau \nu and BτνB \to \tau \nu processes. We find that SUSY correction due to gluino-sbottom diagrams can change the Higgs exchange contribution by ±50\pm50%, whereas stau-neutralino diagrams can make corrections up to 20%. We also discuss relationship between SUSY corrections in the tauonic decays and flavor changing neutral current processes such as Bsμ+μB_s \to \mu^+\mu^- and bsγb \to s \gamma.
