Inclusive dileptonic rareBdecays with an extra generation of vectorlike quarks

Abstract
We investigate the leading effects of extending the standard model of electroweak interactions by an extra isosinglet up- and down-type quark pair on various distributions and total branching ratio of the inclusive BXsl+l (l=e,μ) rare B decays. The presence of the extra vectorlike down quark D results in the nonunitarity of the extended quark mixing matrix V, which in turn leads to bs flavor changing neutral currents at the tree level proportional to (VV)sb. On the other hand, the effective penguin and box vertex functions are sensitive to the mass of the extra isosinglet up quark mU. The experimental upper bound on BR(BXsμ+μ) is used to constrain the parameters of the model. It is shown that the shapes of the differential branching ratio and forward-backward asymmetry distribution are very sensitive to the value of the model parameters. We also calculate the CP aymmetry distribution of the dileptonic decay in the vectorlike quark model. It is shown that, for a typical choice of the model parameters, asymmetries up to around 10% can be achieved for certain values of the dilepton invariant mass.
