Constraining strong gravity using rare semileptonic B meson decays

POSTER

Abstract

We explore a scenario in which strong gravity could be responsible for modifying the momentum of muons and electrons produced in semileptonic B meson decays. Strong gravity is parameterized with a Yukawa potential reproducing usual gravity in the macroscopic world, but with much stronger coupling at short distances. Recent experimental data allows us to constrain the strength of strong gravity, and to make predictions for other decay rates, most notably the B-meson decays into tau-lepton pairs.
