Abstract:
We study the effect of the FCNC mediated ZZ boson in the rare semileptonic baryonic decays ΛbΛl+l\Lambda_b \to \Lambda l^+ l^-. We consider the model where the standard model fermion sector is extended by an extra vector like down quark, as a consequence of which it allows CP violating Z mediated flavor changing neutral current at the tree level. We find that due to this non-universal ZbsZbs coupling, branching ratios of the rare semileptonic Λb\Lambda_b decays are enhanced reasonably from their corresponding standard model values and the zero point of the forward backward asymmetry for ΛbΛμ+μ\Lambda_b \to \Lambda \mu^+ \mu^- is shifted to the left.
