B-factory Signals for a Warped Extra Dimension

Abstract

We study predictions for B-physics in a class of models, recently introduced, with a non-supersymmetric warped extra dimension. In these models few (3\sim 3) TeV Kaluza-Klein masses are consistent with electroweak data due to bulk custodial symmetry. Furthermore, there is an analog of GIM mechanism which is violated by the heavy top quark (just as in SM) leading to striking signals at BB-factories:(i) New Physics (NP) contributions to ΔF=2\Delta F= 2 transitions are comparable to SM. This implies that, within this NP framework, the success of SM unitarity triangle fit is a ``coincidence'' Thus, clean extractions of unitarity angles via e.g. Bππ,ρπ,ρρ,DKB \to \pi \pi,\rho \pi, \rho \rho, DK are likely to be affected, in addition to O(1) deviation from SM prediction in BsB_s mixing. (ii) O(1) deviation from SM predictions for BXsl+lB \to X_s l^+ l^- in rate as well as in forward-backward and direct CP asymmetry. (iii) Large mixing-induced CP asymmetry in radiative B decays, wherein the SM unamibgously predicts very small asymmetries. Also with KK masses 3 TeV or less, and with anarchic Yukawa masses, contributions to electric dipole moments of the neutron are roughly 20 times larger than the current experimental bound so that this framework has a "CP problem".

Comments

On further consideration, we found that our framework does have a "CP problem" in that though contributions to neutron's electric dipole moment from CKM-like phases vanish at the one-loop level, sizeable contributions are induced by Majorana-like phases.
