Abstract

We study breakdown of CPTCPT symmetry which can occur in the decay process BBˉl±XfB \bar B \to l^\pm X^\mp f with ff being a CP eigenstate. In this process, the standard model expectations for time ordered semi-leptonic and hadronic events, i.e. which of the two decays takes place first, can be altered in the case that there is a violation of the CPTCPT symmetry. To illustrate this possibility, we identify and study several time integrated observables. We find that an experiment with 10910^{9} BBˉB\bar B pairs, has the capability for improving the bound on CPTCPT violating parameter or perhaps observe CPTCPT violation.
