Abstract

Motivated by the recently improved lattice QCD results on the hadronic matrix elements entering \$\Delta M\_s,d\$ in \$B\_s,d^0-B\_s,d^0\$ mixings and the resulting increased tensions between \$\Delta M\_s,d\$ and \$\varepsilon\_K\$ in the Standard Model and CMFV models, we demonstrate that these tensions can be removed in 331 models based on the gauge group \$SU(3)\_CSU(3)\_L\times U(1)\_X\$ both for \$M\_Z^\prime\$ in the LHC reach and well beyond it. But the implied new physics (NP) patterns in \$\Delta F=1\$ observables depend sensitively on the value of \$|V\_cb|\$. Concentrating the analysis on three 331 models that have been selected by us previously on the basis of their performance in electroweak precision tests and \$\varepsilon^\prime/\varepsilon\$ we illustrate this for \$|V\_cb|=0.042\$ and \$|V\_cb|=0.040\$. We find that these new lattice data still allow for positive shifts in \$\varepsilon^\prime/\varepsilon\$ up to \$610^-4\$ for \$M\_Z^\prime=3\~TeV\$ for both values of \$\$|V\_cb|\$ but for \$M\_Z^\prime=10\~TeV\$ only for \$|V\_cb|=0.040\$ such shifts can be obtained. NP effects in \$B\_s\to\mu^+\mu^-\$ and in the Wilson coefficient \$C\_9\$ are significantly larger in all three models for the case of \$|V\_cb|=0.040\$. In particular in two models the rate for \$B\_s\to\mu^+\mu^-\$ can be reduced by NP by \$20\%\$ for \$M\_Z^\prime=3\~TeV\$ resulting in values in the ballpark of central values from CMS and LHCb. In the third model a shift in \$C\_9\$ up to \$C\_9^NP=-0.5\$ is possible. We also consider the simplest 331 model, analyzed recently in the literature, in which \$X=Y\$, the usual hypercharge. We find that in this model NP effects in flavour observables are much smaller than in the three models with \$X\not=Y\$, in particular NP contributions to the ratio \$\varepsilon^\prime/\varepsilon\$ are very strongly suppressed.
