Exclusive $B \to VV $ Decays and CP Violation in the General two-Higgs-doublet Model

Understand

Using the general factorization approach, we present a detailed investigation for the branching ratios, CP asymmetries and longitudinal polarization fractions in all charmless hadronic $B \to VV$ decays (except for the pure annihilation processes) within the most general two-Higgs-doublet model with spontaneous CP violation.

• It is seen that such a new physics model only has very small contributions to the branching ratios and longitudinal polarization fractions.
• However, as the model has rich CP-violating sources, it can lead to significant effects on the CP asymmetries, especially on those of penguin-dominated decay modes, which provides good signals for probing new physics beyond the SM in the future B-physics experiments.
