Signature of (axial)vector operators in Bc→Ds(*)μ+μ− decays

The persistent anomalies observed in $B$ mesons related to $b \to s μ^+ μ^-$ transitions point to the potential for new physics beyond the Standard Model. To explore this further, we conduct an analysis of the exclusive semileptonic decays $B_c\to D_s^{(*)} μ^+ μ^-$ within an effective field theory formalism. We perform a global fit to new (axial)vector couplings using the current experimental data for $b \to s μ^+ μ^-$ transitions. We compute the branching ratios and physical observables such as forward-backward asymmetries, lepton polarization asymmetries, form factor independent observables for $B_c\to D_s^{(*)} μ^+ μ^-$, both within the Standard Model and in new physics scenarios. Additionally, we examine the existence of lepton flavor universality violation in the $B_c\to D_s^{(*)} \ell^+ \ell^-$ process.
