Nv. Nikitin et al., Possibilities for testing the predictions of the standard model in rare semileptonic decays of B mesons with the ATLAS detector, PHYS ATOM N, 62(10), 1999, pp. 1697-1704
The features of the rare semileptonic B-meson decays B-d(0) --> K-0*mu(+)mu
(-) and B-d(0) --> rho(0)mu(+)mu(-) have been considered. It has been shown
that the dependence of the lepton charge asymmetry A(FB) on the dilepton e
ffective mass has different forms in the Standard Model and in certain vers
ions of the minimal supersymmetric model. In particular, distinctions of th
is type have been found in the angular distributions dT/dcos theta* of K me
sons produced in the decay B-d(0) --> (K-0* --> K mu)mu(+)mu(-) in the K-0*
rest frame. The numbers of events that can be recorded by the ATLAS detect
or have been estimated for the above decays. The statistical errors in the
measurements of AFB and d Gamma/dcos theta* have been assessed. It has been
shown that, under certain conditions, the expected numbers of detected eve
nts will be sufficient for observing deviations from the predictions of the
Standard Model.
