The Possibility of Large Direct CP Violation in B → Kπ – Like Modes Due to Long Distance Rescattering Effects and Implications for the Angle γ

چکیده

We consider the strong rescattering effects that can occur in the decays such as B → Kπ, Kπ, Kρ . . . and their impact on direct CP violation in these modes. First we discuss, in general, how the CPT theorem constrains the resulting pattern of partial rate asymmetries leading to different brands of direct CP. Traditional discussions have centered around the absorptive part of the penguin graph which has ∆I = 0 in b → s transitions and as a result causes “simple” CP violation; long-distance final state rescattering effects, in general, will lead to a different pattern of CP: “compound” CP violation. Predictions of simple CP are quite distinct from that of compound CP. Final states rescattering phases in B decays are unlikely to be small possibly causing large compound CP violating partial rate asymmetries in these modes. CPT theorem requires a cancellation of PRA due to compound CP amongst the Kπ states themselves; thus there can be no net cancellation with other states such as Kπ, Kρ etc. Therefore, each class of such modes, namely Kπ, Kρ, Kπ, Ka1 etc. can have large direct CP emanating from rescattering effects. Various repercussions for the angle γ are also discussed.

Charming penguin and direct CP-violation in charmless B decays

In the study of two-body charmlessB decays as a mean of looking for direct CP-violation and measuring the CKM mixing parameters in the Standard Model, the short-distance penguin contribution with its absorptive part generated by charm quark loop seems capable of producing sufficient B → Kπ decays rates, as obtained in factorization and QCD-improved factorization models. However there are also l...

We analyse the B → Kπ decays using the factorisation model with final state interaction phase shift included. For a determination of γ, we find that the sums of the branching ratios for B and for B̄, respectively, are independent of δ and depend only on γ. For a more precise test of the factorisation model, we derive a relation for the branching ratios independent of the strength of the strong p...

We analyse the B → Kπ decays using the factorisation model with final state interaction phase shift included. For a typical value of the weak angle γ ≃ 70, corresponding to ρ = 0.12, η = 0.34, the factorisation model seems to describe qualitatively the latest CLEO data, with a preferred value for the phase difference δ in the range 40 − 70 and a corresponding large CPasymmetry. For a determinat...

Direct CP Violation and Final State Interactions in Hadronic B Decays

Although mixing-induced CP violation in B decays has been observed in the golden mode B → J/ψKS for several years, a first confirmed observation of direct CP asymmetry was not established until recently in the charmless B decays B 0 (B) → Kπ by both BaBar [1] and Belle [2]. Also the combined BaBar and Belle measurements of B 0 → ρπ imply a 3.6σ direct CP asymmetry in the ρπ mode [3]. As for dir...

Rescattering effects in charmless Bu,d,s → PP decays

Final-state interaction effects in charmless Bu,d,s → PP decays are studied. We investigate the B 0 → π+π−, π0π0 rates and the Kπ direct CP violations, which lead to the so-called Kπ puzzle in CP violation. Our main results are as follows: (i) Results are in agreement with data in the presence of FSI. (ii) For B decays, the π+π− and π0π0 rates are suppressed and enhanced respectively by FSI. (i...
