Description
Summary:The significant divergence between the SM predictions and experimental measurements for the ratios, RD(⁎)≡B(B¯→D(⁎)τ-ν¯τ)/B(B¯→D(⁎)l′-ν¯l′) with (l′=e,μ), implies possible hint of new physics in the flavor sector. In this paper, motivated by the “RD(⁎) puzzle” and abundant B⁎ data samples at high-luminosity heavy-flavor experiments in the future, we try to probe possible effects of new physics in the semileptonic B¯u,d,s⁎→Pl-ν¯l  (P=D,Ds,π,K) decays induced by b→(u,c)l-ν¯l transitions in the model-independent vector and scalar scenarios. Using the spaces of NP parameters obtained by fitting to the data of RD and RD⁎, the NP effects on the observables including branching fraction, ratio RP⁎, lepton spin asymmetry, and lepton forward-backward asymmetry are studied in detail. We find that the vector type couplings have large effects on the branching fraction and ratio RP⁎. Meanwhile, the scalar type couplings provide significant contributions to all of the observables. The future measurements of these observables in the B¯⁎→Pl-ν¯l decays at the LHCb and Belle-II could provide a way to crosscheck the various NP solutions to the “RD(⁎) puzzle”.
