Abstract

The mixing-induced CP asymmetries in Bd → J/ψKS and Bs → J/ψφ are essential to detect or constrain new physics in the $B_d\! - \overline{\!B}{}_d$ and $B_s\! - \overline{\!B}{}_s$ mixing amplitudes, respectively. To this end one must control the penguin contributions to the decay amplitudes, which affect the extraction of fundamental CP phases from the measured CP asymmetries. Although the "penguin pollution" is doubly Cabibbo-suppressed, it could compete in size with current experimental errors. In this talk I present a calculation of the penguin contributions treating QCD effects with soft-collinear factorisation and compare method and results with the alternative approach employing flavour-SU(3) symmetry. As a novel feature, I present results for the penguin pollution in b → cc̄d modes.

The paper's own sentences, arranged. Each label is drawn from a closed vocabulary; the number beside it is the probability the classifier gave that label. No sentence in this record was written by a model.

How the literature uses it

What this paper does with the arXiv papers it cites

Each citing sentence is taken from the citing paper's LaTeX source and typed by Pith's classifier. A label appears at probability 0.8 or more (0.95 for support), a contest at 0.7 or more; the quoted words are the citing authors'. How each label was checked · JSON

  • As a novel feature, the method of Ref. [ref] permits the prediction of the penguin contributions to $b →c c d$ decays, for example: [equation] The first result means $-0.86≤S_J/ψπ^0 ≤-0.50$. eq:pi0 favours the Belle result [ref] $S_J/ψπ^0=-0.67±0.22$, $C_J/ψπ^0=-0.08±0.17$ over the BaBar result [ref] $S_J/ψπ^0=-1.23±0.21$, $C_J/ψπ^0=-0.20±0.19$.
