Abstract/OtherAbstract:
We have recently seen new upper bounds for B_{s}^{0}→μ^{+}μ^{-}, a key decay to search for physics beyond the standard model. Furthermore a nonvanishing decay width difference ΔΓ_{s} of the B_{s} system has been measured. We show that ΔΓ_{s} affects the extraction of the B_{s}^{0}→μ^{+}μ^{-} branching ratio and the resulting constraints on the new physics parameter space and give formulas for including this effect. Moreover, we point out that ΔΓ_{s} provides a new observable, the effective B_{s}^{0}→μ^{+}μ^{-} lifetime τ_{μ^{+}μ^{-}}, which offers a theoretically clean probe for new physics searches that is complementary to the branching ratio. Should the B_{s}^{0}→μ^{+}μ^{-} branching ratio agree with the standard model, the measurement of τ_{μ^{+}μ^{-}}, which appears feasible at upgrades of the Large Hadron Collider experiments, may still reveal large new physics effects.
