Unparticles at heavy flavour scales: CP violating phenomena

Zwicky, Roman

Understand

Coupling the scale invariant unparticle sector to flavour physics and assuming that it remains scale invariant we investigate its consequences in heavy flavour physics.

  • A drastic feature of unparticle physics is an unusual phase leading to novel CP violating phenomena.
  • We consider the CP asymmetry in the leptonic decay B^+ -> tau^+ nu and the hadronic decay B_d -> D^+D^-, taking into account constraints of branching ratios and time dependent CP asymmetries.
  • Generic plots are shown and it turns out that there exist parameters for which the CP violation is maximal.
