Abstract
Certain string-inspired Zâ² models have non-universal interactions to three families of fermions and induced tree-level flavor-changing couplings. We use recent results on Bs-B¯s mixing to constrain the size of the flavor-changing couplings in the b-s sector. In some highly predictive Zâ² models, such a constraint on b-s coupling can be translated into the flavor-diagonal couplings. Based on the Zâ² production limits at the Tevatron, we obtain the limit on the leptonic couplings of Zâ² and then make predictions for Bsâμ+μâ branching ratios. We conclude that with the present constraints from Bs mixing and Zâ² production, the muonic decay of Bs may not be observed at the Tevatron if the projected integrated luminosity is about O(5-10)fbâ1.
