Abstract

We confront the new physics models with extra iso-singlet down quarks in the new CP violation experimental era with sin(2β)\sin{(2\beta)} and ϵ/ϵ\epsilon'/\epsilon measurements, K+π+ννˉK^+ \to \pi^+ \nu \bar{\nu} events, and xsx_s limits. The closeness of the new experimental results to the standard model theory requires us to include full SM amplitudes in the analysis. In models allowing mixing to a new isosinglet down quark, as in E6_6, flavor changing neutral currents are induced that allow a Z0Z^0 mediated contribution to BBˉB-\bar B mixing and which bring in new phases. In (ρ,η)(\rho,\eta), (xs,sin(γ))(x_s,\sin{(\gamma)}), and (xs,sin(2ϕs))(x_s, \sin{(2\phi_s)}) plots we still find much larger regions in the four down quark model than in the SM, reaching down to η0\eta \approx 0, 0sin(γ)10 \leq \sin{(\gamma)} \leq 1, .75sin(2α)0.15-.75 \leq \sin{(2\alpha)} \leq 0.15, and sin(2ϕs)\sin{(2\phi_s)} down to zero, all at 1σ\sigma. We elucidate the nature of the cancellation in an order λ5\lambda^5 four down quark mixing matrix element which satisfies the experiments and reduces the number of independent angles and phases. We also evaluate tests of unitarity for the 3×33\times3 CKM submatrix.
