Enhanced $b\to sg$ Decay, Inclusive $\eta^\prime$ Production, and the Gluon Anomaly

The experimental hint of large $B\to \eta^\prime + X_s$ is linked to the $b\to s$ penguins via the gluon anomaly. Using running $\alpha_s$ in the $\eta^\prime$-$g$-$g$ coupling, the standard $b\to sg^*$ penguin alone seems insufficient, calling for the need of dipole $b\to sg$ at 10% level from new physics, which could also resolve the ${\cal B}_{s.l.}$ and charm counting problems. The intereference of standard and new physics contributions may result in direct CP asymmetries at 10% level, which could be observed soon at B Factories.
