Abstract
As part of the Standard Model (SM), we present new theoretical predictions for the branching ratio and differential distributions for the \({{\bar {B}}_{d}} \to {{\mu }^{ + }}{{\mu }^{ - }}{{e}^{ + }}{{e}^{ - }}\) decay. We take into consideration the contributions \({{\rho }^{0}}(770)\) and \(\omega (782)\) of resonances; the main contributions of four charmonium resonances: \(\psi (3770)\), \(\psi (4040)\), \(\psi (4160)\), and \(\psi (4415)\); the contributions of the tails from \({J \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {J \psi }} \right. \kern-0em} \psi }\) and \(\psi (2S)\) resonances; and the nonresonant contribution of the \(b{\kern 1pt} \bar {b}\) pairs, bremsstrahlung, and the contribution of the weak annihilation. We use the model of vector meson dominance (VMD) for calculating resonances contributions.
