Abstract

We study unparticle effects on particle and antiparticle osillations in meson-antimeson, and muonium-antimuonium systems. Unlike usual tree level contributions to meson oscillations from heavy particle exchange with small Γ12\Gamma_{12}, the unparticle may have sizeable contributions to both M12M_{12} and Γ12\Gamma_{12} due to fractional dimension d\Ud_\U of the unparticle. We find that very stringent constraints on the unparticle and particle interactions can be obtained. If unparticle effect dominates the contributions (which may happen in D0Dˉ0D^0-\bar D^0 mixing) to meson mixing parameters xx and yy, we find that x/y=cot(πd\U)x/y =\cot(\pi d_\U). Interesting constraints on unparticle and particle interactions can also be obtained using muonion and antimuonion oscillation data. We also comment on unparticle effects on CP violation in meson oscillations.
