To understand the rare decay Bs→π+π−ℓ+ℓ−

Motivated by the LHCb measurement, we analyze the Bs→π+π−ℓ+ℓ− decay in the kinematics region where the pion pairs have invariant masses in the range 0.5–1.3 GeV and muon pairs do not originate from a resonance. The scalar π+π− form factor induced by the strange s¯s current is predicted by the unitar...
