Lepton flavor violating B → K2* (1430) μ±τ± decays

A number of measurements in decays induced by the semileptonic b -> s and b -> c transitions hint towards a possible role of new physics in both sectors. Motivated by these anomalies, we investigate the lepton flavor violating B -> K-2*(1430) mu(+/-)tau(+/-) decays. We calculate the two-fold angular distribution of B -> K-2*l(1)l(2) decay in the presence of vector, axial-vector, scalar and pseudo-scalar new physics interactions. We then compute the branching fraction and lepton forward-backward asymmetry in the framework of U-1(2/3) vector leptoquark which is a viable solution to the current B anomalies. We find that the upper limits are (B -> K-2*mu(-)tau(+)) <= 1.64 x 10(-7) and B(B -> K-2*mu(+)tau(-)) <= 0.60 x 10(-7) at 90% C.L.
