1 Introduction

Flavor changing neutral current (FCNC) processes inthe lepton sector are strictly forbidden in SM, hence un-doubtly, a hint for new physics (NP), while on the otherhand, FCNC processes in the quark sector play a dualrole: one in the erection of the Standard Model (SM)and the other, an efficient tool for physics beyond theSM [1]. These processes involve neutral meson mixing(oscillations), radiative decays [2], rare leptonic, semilep-tonic, lepton flavor and number conserving, and CP vi-olating decays. All these mixings and decays are highlysuppressed in SM, due to the Glashow, Ilopoulous andMaiani(GIM) mechanism. The GIM mechanism assuresthat there are no FCNC at the tree level and the lead-ing contribution results through one loop (box or pen-guin) diagram, where quarks (up/down) could propagate

and the small

Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) angle provides thetheoretical reason for the very small branching fractionand CP asymmetries in the SM [3], hence resulting indeviations from experimental data. These deviations be-come extraordinarily large when we deal with the pro-cesses involving only down type quarks (d, s, b) ratherthan up type quarks (u, c, t) propagating in the loop.The FCNC processes involving charm (D) meson decays

at 90% C.L. from Belle [5], while SM predicted that theBR of these decays is 4.76×10−20, which is clear evidencefor the large theoretical and experimental discrepancyand demands some NP.

study the anomaly in the branching fraction of pure lep-tonic and semileptonic decays. Among those decays, cur-rently, the most interesting one is the decay of charmmesons (D, D±, Ds) due to hordes of data sample at thefacilities of E687, E831 (Fermi-lab) [11], BES 0 (Bei-jing Spectrometer 0), CDF, CLEO [11–13] Belle andBaBar [14].

The aim of this paper is to investigate, compareand advocate the two (pure leptonic) and three bodies(semileptonic) flavour conserving (FC) and flavour vio-lating (FV) charm mesons processes, having the samequark substructures. The R-parity violating SUSYModel [15] allows FV processes at tree level throughthe same (LQDc) operator. This operator can lead toresonant slepton and sneutrino production, which oth-erwise proceeds through the box and penguin diagramthrough the exchange of down type quarks [11] withinthe Standard Model (SM) and are highly suppressed[14, 16]. In support of our argument, we consider theexample of (D±

s → K±l+α l−β , D0 → l+α l−β , D± → π±l+α l−β )and (D0 → π−l+αvβ, D+ → l+αvβ), having the same sub-quark structure (c→ul+α l−β ) and (c→dl+αvβ) respectively.The spectator quark model [17] is used to calculate thebranching fraction of the above mentioned processes andcompare them with the current experimental limits. Asthe outshoot, we get the limit on the R-parity violatingYukawa couplings.

Though R-parity (Rp=(−1)3B+L+2S) conserving theMinimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) [15]is phenomenologically well motivated [18] even then R-parity violating MSSM, if relaxed carefully, has rich phe-nomenological implications [19]. This version of super-symmetry avoids any adhocism and satisfies all condi-tions of good theory, i.e. gauge invariance, renormaliz-ability and anomaly free. This theory naturally accomo-dates lepton and baryon number and flavour violatingterms, hence all FCNC (rare and forbidden decays) areaccommodated at the tree level within R-parity violat-ing MSSM [10] and thus it naturally provides the reasonfor significant enhancement in the branching fraction.So any significant deviation from the SM prediction is aclear hint to think about R-parity violating the SUSYmodel. This fact motivates us to study the leptonic andsemileptonic decays of charm mesons within R-parity vi-olating MSSM.

The R-parity violating gauge invariant and renormal-izable superpotential is [18]

6 Results and discussions

To summarize, we have analyzed the whole spectrumof pseudoscalar (charged and neutral) charm mesons in-volving pure leptonic and semileptonic leptonic (leptonflavor conserving as well as violating) two and three bod-ies decays. The technique we have adopted is to make acomparison between those processes represented by thesame Feynman diagram in the R-parity violating SUSYModel, and hence having a common set of Yukawa cou-pling products (λ′∗λ′). The aim of this kind of analysisis to accommodate and pinpoint those decay channels,which are consistent with the experimental data whencalculating in the R-parity violating SUSY model, asthese decays cannot be accommodated by SM, for thereasons given in the introduction part. This type of anal-ysis narrows down our searches for new physics.

Figures (4–11) and Tables 1–7 represent our analysescarried out in this paper. We have used the data fromsources cite PDG, R. Barbie, BOUND for our analysis.The data are tabulated in Tables 1 and 2.

D±s → K±e+e− and D± → π±e+e− are in good agree-

ment with the experimental limits, whereas D0→e+e− ishighly suppressed when compared with the current ex-perimental data. So these two processes (D±

s →K±e+e−

and D± → π±e+e−) are favorable for the study of NP,especially in 6Rp MSSM.

The processes (D± → π±µ+µ−, D0 → µ+µ−, Ds →K±µ+µ−) having Yukawa coupling products (λ′∗

213λ′223)

are compared in Fig. 5. This comparison shows thatthe 6Rp MSSM contribution to D0→µ+µ− is three timessmaller than the current experimental limits but still bet-ter than the SM. This is significantly much better thanthe D0 → e+e− due to the fact that the branching frac-tion of the pure leptonic decay depends directly on thesquare of the lepton to meson mass ratio. A comparisonbetween D± →π±µ+µ− and D±

s →K±µ+µ− shows thatthe 6Rp MSSM contribution to these processes is compa-rable to the experimental limits. So these decay channels(D±→π±µ+µ−, D0→µ+µ−, Ds→K±µ+µ−) are promis-ing for the study of 6Rp MSSM.

this is the only favorable process for the study of the 6Rp

the SM predictions. The contribution by slepton ex-change Yukawa couplings (λ′∗

322λ311) to D+ → e+νe iscompatible with the experimental bounds and much bet-ter than the SM predictions. The 6Rp MSSM contribu-tion by slepton exchange Yukawa couplings (λ′

123λ′∗123)

to D0 →K−e+νe is compatible with the experimentallymeasured branching fraction. These two decay processesare favorable for studying the competition between 6Rp

MSSM and SM.Further, a comparison between D0 → K−µ+νµ and

D+s → µ+νµ is displayed in Fig. 11. This comparison

shows that 6Rp MSSM contribution to D+s →µ+νµ is con-

sistent with available experimental data and also withSM. Therefore, this decay process is most favorable forthe study of 6Rp MSSM.

Figures 12, 13 show the evolution effect of Yukawacouplings w.r.t corresponding sparticle masses.

Tables 1–3 summarize new bounds on the branch-ing fraction of the pseudoscalar charm meson decay andcompared with Ref. [22]. Furthermore, the bounds onthe Yukawa couplings can be compared with the boundsfrom [19], [23].

Table 4 shows a comparison between the 6Rp MSSMYukawa couplings that are calculated from our analy-sis and the ones already available in the literature. Thecomparison shows that the majority of bounds used inour analysis are compatible with the ones existing in theliterature, except the bound on λ′

321λ322, which is morestringent than the old one. Table 5 comprises a sum-mary of Tables 1–3. It lists those decay processes thatare favorable or not for the study of 6Rp MSSM.

Summarizing, we have analyzed the decay processes(D±

s → K±l+α l−β (να), D0 → l+α l−β , D± → π±l+α l−β (να)) andcompared their branching fractions against a commonparameter λ′

βn1λ′∗αm2 and λβn1λ

′∗αm2. The analysis distin-

guishes important processes to be studied at various ac-celerator facilities like the Beijing Electron Positron Col-lider (BEPC), Fermilab and CLEO detector [11, 13, 24].
