Abstract:
We investigate the possibility of scalar interaction affecting the forward backward asymmetry in the decay mode BKμ+μB\to K \mu^+ \mu^-. Using the scalar contribution and advocating Cheng-Sher type ansatz we obtain sizable forward backward asymmetry. Furthermore, we study the effect of the scalar interaction in K+π+μ+μK^+ \to \pi^+ \mu^+ \mu^-. It is pointed out that non-zero forward backward asymmetry in BKl+lB\to K l^+ l^-, if found in future B-factories, may indicate the new physics in the scalar sector.
