A precise sum rule among four B -> Kpi CP asymmetries

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2010-04-05 v3

Abstract

A sum rule relation is proposed for direct CP asymmetries in BKπB\to K\pi decays. Leading terms are identical in the isospin symmetry limit, while subleading terms are equal in the flavor SU(3) and heavy quark limits. The sum rule predicts ACP(B0K0π0)=0.17±0.06A_{\rm CP}(B^0\to K^0\pi^0)=-0.17 \pm 0.06 using current asymmetry measurements for the other three BKπB\to K\pi decays. A violation of the sum rule would be evidence for New Physics in bsqˉqb\to s\bar qq transitions.
