Constraints on tensor and scalar couplings from B → K(μ)over-barμ and Bs → (μ)over-barμ

The angular distribution of B -> K (l) over barl (l = e, mu, tau) depends on two parameters, the lepton forward-backward asymmetry, A(FB)(l), and the flat term, F-H(l). Both are strongly suppressed in the standard model and constitute sensitive probes of tensor and scalar contributions. We use the latest experimental results for l = mu in combination with the branching ratio of B-S -> (mu) over bar mu to derive the strongest model-independent bounds on tensor and scalar effective couplings to date. The measurement of F-H(mu) provides a complementary constraint to that of the branching ratio of B-S -> (mu) over bar mu and allows us - for the first time - to constrain all complex-valued (pseudo-)scalar couplings and their chirality-flipped counterparts in one fit. Based on Bayesian fits of various scenarios, we find that our bounds even become tighter when vector couplings are allowed to deviate from the standard model and that specific combinations of angular observables in B -> K*(l) over barl are still allowed to be up to two orders of magnitude larger than in the standard model, which would place them in the region of LHCb's sensitivity.
