Penguins in B Decays
نویسنده
چکیده
We report on recent progress in studying two aspects of B physics, in which penguin amplitudes play an important role: 1. Bounds on penguin pollution in B(t) → ππ constraining CKM parameters, and a lower bound on B → ππ improving precision in sin 2α. 2. A suggestion for measuring the photon polarization in electroweak penguin decay, B → K1(1400)γ, providing a precision test of the Standard Model.

Electroweak Penguins and Two - Body B Decays
We discuss the role of electroweak penguins in B decays to two light pseudoscalar mesons. We confirm that the extraction of the weak phase α through the isospin analysis involving B → ππ decays is largely unaffected by such operators. However, the methods proposed to obtain weak and strong phases by relating B → ππ, B → πK and B → KK decays through flavor SU(3) will be invalidated if electrowea...
متن کاملTrojan Penguins and Isospin Violation in Hadronic B Decays
Some rare hadronic decays of B mesons, such as B → πK, are sensitive to isospin-violating contributions from physics beyond the Standard Model. Although commonly referred to as electroweak penguins, such contributions can often arise through tree-level exchanges of heavy particles, or through strong-interaction loop diagrams. The Wilson coefficients of the corresponding electroweak penguin oper...
متن کاملClosing in on B-cp
Major new experimental efforts on detecting CP violation in B decays will very soon go on the air. Recent developments suggest that final state interaction phases in exclusive decays of B are unlikely to be small indicating the possibility of observable direct CP asymmetries in these channels. CLEO results on charmless hadronic modes suggest penguin amplitudes are rather big implying that the e...
متن کاملTwo body decays of the b - quark : Applications to direct CP violation , searches for electro - weak penguins and new physics
A systematic experimental search for two-body hadronic decays of the b-quark of the type b → quark + meson is proposed. These reactions have a well defined experimental signature and they should be theoretically cleaner compared to exclusive decays. Many modes have appreciable branching ratios and partial rate asymmetries may also be quite large (about 8−−50%) in several of them. In a few cases...
متن کاملProbing new physics in electroweak penguins through Bd and Bs decays
An enhanced electroweak penguin amplitude due to the presence of unknown new physics can explain the discrepancies found between theory and experiment in the B → πK decays, in particular in ACP(B − → πK)−ACP(B̄ 0 → πK), but the current precision of the theoretical and experimental results does not allow to draw a firm conclusion. We argue that the B̄s → φρ 0 and B̄s → φπ 0 decays offer an addition...
متن کاملSoft - Collinear - Effective - Theory
We analyze the charmless two-body B → V P decays in the soft-collinear-effective-theory (SCET), where V (P ) denotes a light vector (pseudoscalar) meson. Using the current experimental data, we find two solutions in χ fit for the 16 non-perturbative inputs responsible for the 87 B → PP and B → V P decay channels in SU(3) symmetry. Chirally enhanced penguins can only change several charming peng...
