Abstract

Unparticles proposed by Georgi carry CP conserving phases in their propagators. We demonstrate that these peculiar phases have an important impact on CP violation. Without including the strong QCD phases, we study the unparticle phase effects on the direct CP asymmetries in the exclusive decays of Bˉdπ+π\bar B_d\to \pi^{+} \pi^{-} and BπKB\to \pi K, in which the flavor changing neutral currents are forbidden at tree level but induced by one-loop diagrams. Interesting and consistent results comparing to the data are obtained. In addition, we find that unparticles will significantly enhance the differential branching ratio of bs+b\to s \ell^{+} \ell^{-} at the small invariant mass of +\ell^{+} \ell^{-}. The forward-backward asymmetries for bs+b\to s \ell^{+} \ell^{-} due to unparticles are also explored.
