Study of the rare semileptonic decays $B_d^0 \to K^* l^+ l^-$ in scalar leptoquark model

We study the effect of scalar leptoquarks on the exclusive rare $B$ meson decays $\bar{B}_d^0 \rightarrow \bar{K}^{* 0}\left(\rightarrow K^-π^+\right) l^+ l^-$ in the full kinematically accessible physical region. We work out the constraints on leptoquark parameter space using the measured branching ratio of $B_s \rightarrow μ^+ μ^-$ process by the CMS and LHCb collaborations. We compute the branching ratio, forward-backward asymmetry and isospin asymmetry distribution using the constrained parameter space. We also look into various form factor independent and CP violating observables in the scalar leptoquark model.
