We show that the recently measured 3.9 σ deviations of the charge asymmetry of like-sign dimuon
events from the standard model prediction by the D0 collaboration at Tevatron can be explained
by introducing the anomalous right-handed top quark couplings. A combined analysis with the
Bs − B̄s and the Bd − B̄d mixings, B → Xs γ decays and the time-dependent CP asymmetry in
B → φK decays has been performed. The anomalous tsW couplings are preferred to explain the
dimuon charge asymmetry together with other CP violating observables.

as more data are analyzed. If the deviation is confirmed
with other experiments, it would indicate the existence
of new physics beyond the SM. Many works are devoted
to explaining the D0 dimuon asymmetry in and beyond
the SM [2].
Although the charged currents are purely left-handed
in the SM, the existence of right-handed charged currents is predicted in many new physics models beyond
the SM. For instance, the variant SU(2)L ×SU(2)R ×U(1)
model [3] and a dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking model [4] predict additional right-handed currents
and some modification of the left-handed currents. In
this work, we study the effects of anomalous right-handed
top quark couplings on the D0 like-sign dimuon charge
asymmetry. We introduce additional right-handed top
quark couplings without specifying the underlying model
and assume no effects of new particles and additional
neutral currents interactions. The impacts of the anomalous top quark couplings have been studied in flavour
physics and at colliders [5–7]. Here, we consider the
anomalous top quark couplings and show that the measurement of the Absl can be explained by the anomalous tsW coupling, with accommodation of present data
for Br(B → Xs γ), ∆Ms , ∆Md , and CP asymmetry in
B → φK decays at 2-σ level.
This paper is organized as follows. In Section II, we
present the formalism for the dimuon charge asymmetry
and neutral B meson system. In Section III, we present
the contribution of the anomalous top quark couplings to
I. INTRODUCTION
Recently, the D0 collaboration has measured the
CP violating like-sign dimuon charge asymmetry for b
hadrons, defined as
Absl ≡
Nb++ − Nb−−

Nb++ + Nb−−

of which value is reported to be [1]

of pp̄ data at
for
√ an integrated luminosity of 9.0 fb
s = 1.96 TeV at Tevatron. In the definition of Eq. (1),
Nb++ and Nb−− are the numbers of events where two b
hadrons semileptonically decay into muons with charges
of the same sign. Since the b quarks are produced as bb̄
pairs from pp̄ collisions at Tevatron, the like-sign dimuon
events arises from a direct semileptonic decay of one of b
hadrons and a semileptonic decay of the other b hadron
following the B 0 − B̄ 0 oscillation. In the standard model
(SM), the source of the CP violation in the neutral Bq0
system is the phase of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa
(CKM) matrix elements involved in the box diagram.
The D0 measurement of Eq. (2) shows a deviation of 3.9

B → Xs γ, B − B̄ mixings, and B → φK decays to obtain
the possible parameter sets. In Section IV, we discuss the
dimuon charge symmetry with the anomalous top quark
couplings and future experiments. Finally we conclude
in Section V.
At the Tevatron experiment, both decays of Bd and Bs
mesons contribute to the asymmetry. Assuming that
Γ(Bd0 → µ+ X) = Γ(Bs0 → µ+ X) to a very good approximation, the like-sign dimuon charge asymmetry can be
expressed in terms of aqsl as [8]

II. DIMUON CHARGE ASYMMETRY IN
THE NEUTRAL B MESON SYSTEM
Since the like-sign dimuon events following bb̄ production arise through the B − B̄ oscillation, the dimuon
charge asymmetry can be described in terms of the parameters of the B − B̄ mixings. The neutral B meson
system is described by the Schrödinger equation

in which ΓRS denotes the direct semileptonic decay rate
in the right-sign process and ΓW S the decay in the
wrong-sign process, implying the semileptonic decay rate
of the Bq0 (B̄q0 ) meson following the Bq0 − B̄q0 oscillation.
The dimuon asymmetry implies CP violation in the B
system.
The asymmetry of dimuon events is derived from the
charge asymmetry of semileptonic decays of neutral Bq0
mesons, with aqsl defined as
aqsl ≡
Γ(B̄q0 (t) → µ+ X) − Γ(Bq0 (t) → µ− X)
.
Γ(B̄q0 (t) → µ+ X) + Γ(Bq0 (t) → µ− X)

where fq are the production fractions of Bq mesons, and
Zq = 1/(1 − yq2 ) − 1/(1 + x2q ) with yq = ∆Γq /(2Γq ),
xq = ∆Mq /Γq . These parameters are measured to be
fd = 0.323±0.037, fs = 0.118±0.015, xd = 0.774±0.008,
xs = 26.2±0.5, and yd = 0, ys = 0.046±0.027 [9]. With
these values, Eq. (10) is rewritten as
Absl = (0.506 ± 0.043)adsl + (0.494 ± 0.043)assl .
(10)
The charge asymmetry for wrong charge semileptonic
decay in Eq. (9) is expressed as
aqsl =

assl = (2.1 ± 0.6) × 10−5 .
(12)
In the SM, ∆Γd /Γd is less than 1% while ∆Γs /Γs ∼ 10%
is rather large. The decay matrix element Γq12 is obtained
from the tree level decays b → cc̄q. Since the anomalous
top couplings affect Γq12 through loops only, we ignore
the new physics effects on Γq12 in this work.

we set gL and gR to be complex, Vtqeff and ξq involve new

B physics. For simplicity, we assume that only one of

the anomalous tsW or tbW couplings is nonzero in this
analysis. Then, the other CKM matrix elements are the
same as those in the SM, and the phases of quarks are
fixed with them.
The matrix elements of the third row of the CKM matrix have not been directly measured yet, but just indirectly constrained by loop-induced processes and the
unitarity of the CKM matrix. In our framework, the constraints should be applied to the effective CKM matrix
elements Vtqeff instead of VtqSM . The additional Vtqeff ξq
terms measure the anomalous right-handed top couplings.
1. B → Xs γ Decays
Contributions of the right-handed top quark couplings
to the penguin diagram for b → s transition are enhanced
by a factor of mt /mb . Thus, the radiative B → Xs γ
decays are sensitive to the anomalous right-handed tbW

The transition amplitude M12
for Bq − B̄q mixing is

the top quark couplings in the box diagram are modified
to include the right-handed couplings. Since the loop

3. CP Asymmetries in B → φK Decays
The b → ss̄s transition responsible for the B → φK
decays arises at the one-loop level in the SM, where the
gluon penguin contribution dominates. Since VtsSM involves no complex phase to leading order in the SM, the
weak phase sin 2β measured in B → φK decays should
agree with that measured in B → J/ψK decays, and the
direct CP asymmetry of B → φK decays should vanish
up to small pollution.
The decay amplitude of B → φK decays with anomalous top couplings are given in Ref. 6. We define the
parameter λ as

where A = A(B 0 → φK 0 ), Ā = A(B̄ 0 → φK̄ 0 ) and M12

in B → φK decays is written in terms of λ as
Γ(B̄ 0 (t) → φK̄ 0 ) − Γ(B 0 (t) → φK 0 )

First, we consider the nonzero anomalous tsW couplings. The Bd − B̄d mixing is not affected in this
case, and we get constraints on the tsW couplings from
B → Xs γ decays, ∆Ms , and CP asymmetry in B → φK
decays. Figure 1 shows the allowed parameters of |ξs |
and |Vtseff | at the 95% C.L. In the B → Xs γ decays of
Eq. (17), the contribution of the right-handed couplings
involves the enhancement factor mt /mb and leads to a
substantial change in the amplitude. Since the measure-

ments of Br(B → Xs γ) agree with the SM predictions, a

compensated for by a large shift of Vtseff , as we can see in

the deviation of Asl from the SM value leads to a deviation of Vtseff and to a nonzero ξs . Finally, these values

that this result does not mean that the CKM unitarity is
violated but that an “effective” parameter Vtseff extracted
from Bs − B̄s mixing looks different from the SM value.

are understood by that all observed CP asymmetries at

our case, the modified Bs mixing is due to Vtseff .
Considering the anomalous tbW couplings to explain
Absl , we have constraints from B → Xs γ decay, ∆Ms ,
∆Mb , and the CP asymmetry in B → φK decays.
In Fig. 3, we show the allowed parameters of |ξb | and
|Vtbeff | at the 95% C.L. In this case, the SM value of
|Vtbeff | = 1 is still consistent with the dimuon charge
asymmetry. Instead, we require a new phase of Vtbeff to
explain the Absl shown in Fig. 4, although Vtb is real in
the SM. We used the SM value of the CP violating phase

additional phase of Vtb is not consistent with the measured sin 2β. Such disagreement implies that the dimuon
charge asymmetry and the B → J/ψK decay are hardly
explained simultaneously only with the modification of
Vtbeff .
The anomalous tdW coupling contributes to only the
Bd − B̄d mixing and to only adsl . As in the case of the
tbW couplings, the additional phase of Vtd is constrained
by the measured sin 2βeff = sin 2(β − θtd ), where θtd
is the additional phase of Vtd . Thus, adsl cannot be
changed much as the anomalous tdW coupling varies due
to strong ∆Md constraint.

Fig. 5 with the allowed parameter sets of (ξs , Vtseff ) and

V. CONCLUDING REMARKS
We have studied the effects of the anomalous tqW couplings to explain the recently measured deviation of likesign dimuon charge asymmetry at Tevatron. Our new
complex couplings are able to explain the D0 dimuon
charge asymmetry at the 95% C.L. under constraints
from the precisely measured Br(B → Xs γ), ∆Md , ∆Ms ,
SφK , and CφK data. However, the additional phase
of Vtbeff is not consistent with the CP violation in the
B → J/ψK decay while the anomalous tsW couplings
agree with those in the B → J/ψφ decays at 2-σ level.
The effect of the anomalous tdW coupling is very small
due to strong constraints on sin 2β in the B → J/ψK
decay and ∆Md . We conclude that the dimuon charge
asymmetry favors a new top coupling in Bs − B̄s mixing rather than in Bd − B̄d mixing, and we show that
the anomalous tsW couplings satisfy the constraints of
B physics.
