High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2008-11-26 v2

Abstract

We provide a review of predictions for sin 2beta_eff in b->s penguin dominated modes based on 1/m_b expansion and/or SU(3) flavor symmetry. The experimental results are consistently lower than the theoretical predictions. In order to interpret whether this effect is a sign of new physics contributions or can be explained away within the Standard Model a theoretical input cannot be avoided. The effect survives at a level larger than 2.1 sigma in a conservative average over different modes that includes theoretical predictions.
