We also explore how their effects could be in principle disentangled from possible local new physics effects using -spin relations. To this end, we construct a ratio of -odd decay rate differences which are exactly predicted within the standard model in the -spin limit, while the leading -spin breaking effects can also be systematically calculated. Our results motivate binned measurements of the direct asymmetry in (+/-) -> (+/-)l(+)l(-) as well as dedicated theoretical estimates of -spin breaking both in local form factors as well as in four-quark matrix elements.", optnote="WOS:001317458200008", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=6263), last updated on Tue, 01 Oct 2024 07:09:49 +0000", issn="2470-0010", doi="10.1103/PhysRevD.110.054013", opturl="https://arxiv.org/abs/2403.13056", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevD.110.054013", language="English" }
