Abstract

We analyze the 5σ5\sigma difference between the CP asymmetries of the B0K+πB^0 \to K^+ \pi^- and B+K+π0B^+ \to K^+ \pi^0 decays within the Soft Collinear Effective Theory. We find that in the Standard Model, such a big difference cannot be achieved. We classify then the requirements for the possible New Physics models, which can be responsible for the experimental results. As an example of a New Physics model we study minimal supersymmetric models, and find that the measured asymmetry can be obtained with non-minimal flavor violation.
