Description

We use the light front wavefunction predicted by holographic anti–de Sitter/Chromodynamics (AdS/QCD) for $K^*$ vector meson to obtain the form factors for exclusive dileptonic rare $B \to K^* \mu^+ \mu^-$ decay. Consequently, the differential decay rate, isospin and forward-backward asymmetry distributions for this transition mode are obtained and compared with the latest available experimental data. We conclude that a negative new physics contribution to the Wilson coefficient $C_9$ can enhance the agreement with data for all three observables.
