Abstract

The D0 collaboration has announced the observation of the like-sign dimuon charge asymmetry since 2010, which has a difference of more than 3σ from the Standard Model prediction. One of the promising explanations is considering the existence of flavor-changing Z couplings to the b and s quarks which can contribute to the off-diagonal decay width in the B s-B̄s mixing. Model construction is highly constrained by the recent LHCb data of 1 fb-1 integrated luminosity. In this paper, we analyze the experimental constraints on constructing new physics models to explain the dimuon charge asymmetry from the CP violation of the Bs system. We present limits on Z couplings and show that it is impossible to obtain the 1σ range of the dimuon charge asymmetry without the new contribution in the Bd system. Even with an arbitrary contribution in the Bd system, the new couplings must be in the fine-tuned region.
