Charmless decays B -> PP, PV, and effects of new strong and electroweak penguins in Topcolor-assisted Technicolor model
read the original abstract
Based on the low energy effective Hamiltonian with generalized factorization, we calculate the new physics contributions to the branching ratios and CP-violating asymmetries of the two-body charmless hadronic decays $B \to PP, PV$ from the new strong and electroweak penguin diagrams in the TC2 model. The top-pion penguins dominate the new physics corrections, and both new gluonic and electroweak penguins contribute effectively to most decay modes. For tree-dominated decay modes $B \to \pi \pi, \rho \pi, etc,$ the new physics corrections are less than 10%. For decays $B \to K^{(*)} \pi$, $K^{(*)} \eta$, $etc$, the new physics enhancements can be rather large (from $- 70%$ to $\sim 200%$) and are insensitive to the variations of $N_c^{eff}$, $k^2$, $\eta$ and $m_{\tilde{\pi}}$ within the reasonable ranges. For decays $B^0 \to \phi \pi$, $\phi \eta^{(')}$, $K^* \bar{K}^0$ and $\rho^+ K^0$, $\delta {\cal B}$ is strongly $N_c^{eff}-$dependent: varying from -90% to $\sim 1680%$ in the range of $N_c^{eff}=2-\infty$. The new physics corrections to the CP-violating asymmetries ${\cal A}_{CP}$ vary greatly for different B decay channels. For five measured CP asymmetries of $B \to K \pi, K \eta', \omega \pi$ decays, $\delta {\cal A}_{CP}$ is only about 20% and will be masked by large theoretical uncertainties. The new physics enhancements to interesting $B \to K \eta'$ decays are significant in size ($\sim 50%$), insensitive to the variations of input parameters and hence lead to a plausible interpretation for the unexpectedly large $B \to K \eta'$ decay rates. The TC2 model predictions for branching ratios and CP-violating asymmteries of all fifty seven $B \to PP, PV$ decay modes are consistent with the available data within one or two standard deviations.
