Abstract

We discuss some possible signals of CPT violation in the BsB_s system that may be probed at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). We show how one can construct combinations ofobservables coming from tagged and untagged decay rates of BsDs±KB_s\to D_s^\pm K^\mp that can unambiguously differentiate between CPT violating and CPT conserving new physics (NP) models contributing in BsBˉsB_s-\bar B_s mixing. We choose this particular mode as an illustrative example for two reasons: (i) In the Standard Model, there is only one decay amplitude, so it is easier to untangle any new physics; (ii) BsB_s being a neutral meson, it is possible to unambiguously identify any sign of CPT violation that occurs only in mixing but not in decay. We define an observable which is useful to extract the CPT violating parameter in BsB_s decay, and also discuss how far the results are applicable even if CPT violation is present in both mixing and decay.
