Abstract

We study possible effects of new physics in CP asymmetries in two-body BsB_s decays in left-right models with spontaneous CP violation. Considering the contributions of new CP phases to the BsB_s mixing as well as to the penguin dominated decay amplitudes we show that, with the present constraints, large deviations from the standard model predictions in CP asymmetries are allowed in both cases. Detection of the new physics can be done by measuring non-zero asymmetries which are predicted to vanish in the standard model or by comparing two measurements which are predicted to be equal in the standard model. In particular, we show that the measurement of the CKM angle γ\gamma in electroweak penguin dominated processes Bs0ρ0η(),ρ0ϕB_s^0\to\rho^0\eta^{(')}, \rho^0\phi can largely be affected by the new physics.
