Abstract

We have investigated the effects of unparticles in decays BlνB \to l \nu. It is found that the direct CP violation in the decays, which is zero in SM, can show up due to the CP conserving phase intrinsic in unparticle physics. For l=τl=\tau, the direct CP asymmetry can reach 30% for the scalar unparticle contribution, and 100% for the longitudinal vector unparticle contribution under the constraints of Br(Bτν){\rm Br}(B\to\tau\nu) and νe\nu e elastic scattering. If both unparticle-lepton coupling universality and unparticle-quark coupling universality are assumed the constraint from Br(πμν)Br(\pi\to \mu\nu) leads that the direct CP violation in BlνB\to l\nu can only reach at most 8% and 1% for scalar and vector unparticle contributions respectively if dU<2d_{\cal U} < 2. If the direct CP violation is observed in the future it would give strong evidence for the existence of unparticle stuff.
