Recent theoretical results of the standard model expectations on $\sin2\beta_{\rm eff}$ from penguin-dominated $b \to s$ decays are briefly reviewed.
Penguin, or loop, decays of B mesons induce effective flavor-changing neutral currents, which are forbidden at tree level in the Standard Model. These decays give special insight into the CKM matrix and are sensitive to non-standard model…
In past decades the scientific community has been looking for a reliable first-principles method to predict the electronic structure of solids with high accuracy. Here we present an approach which we call the quasiparticle self-consistent…
By exploiting the underlying symmetries of the relative phases of the pseudoscalar meson photoproduction amplitude, we determine all the possible sets of four double-spin observables that resolve the phase ambiguity of the amplitude in…
We present several alternative techniques used by the BaBar Collaboration in order to measure the Unitarity Triangle angle gamma. We also present the results of two searches designed to improve the measurements of sin(2beta) using penguin B…
We discuss experimental signatures capable of nearly immediate study that would discern/constrain new physics manifested via enhanced gluonic penguin decays of the $b$.
In the recent literature, constraints on the CKM angle $\gamma$ arising from the branching ratios for $B^\pm\to\pi^\pm K$ and $B_d\to\pi^\mp K^\pm$ decays received a lot of attention. An important theoretical limitation of the accuracy of…
In this review article we study the Minimal Supersymmetric Electro-Weak theory (of leptons). The Lagrangian is constructed step by step in great detail, both in the superfield and component field formalism --- both on and off shell.…
We describe a new method for obtaining the CP phase alpha via measurements of B_{d,s} -> K(*) Kbar(*) decays. This method is particularly appropriate for hadron colliders since some of the branching ratios are small [O(10^{-6})], and since…
A consistent census of penguins in the Delta I = 1/2 rule is taken from the eta0 pole contribution to the radiative KL to gamma gamma, KS to pi0 gamma gamma and K+ to pi+ gamma gamma decay modes. We briefly comment on its impact for KL to…
In the past decade, electroweak penguin decays have provided a number of precision measurements, turning into one of the most competitive ways to search for New Physics that describe beyond the Standard Model phenomena. An overview of the…
We summarize recent theoretical developments in the field of radiative and semileptonic penguin decays.
In our previous paper we applied U-spin symmetry to charmless hadronic B+- --> M0 M+- decays for the purpose of precise extraction of the unitarity angle gamma. In this paper we extend our approach to neutral B0 and Bs --> M1 M2 decays. A…
Isospin and U-spin symmetries are useful approximations for studying penguin dominance in $B$ meson decays to three kaons, $B\to KK\bar K$. We point out certain subtleties in treating these decays in these approximations. Resulting…
Promising ways to search for New Physics effects in radiative penguin decays are in the angular analysis of $B_{d} \rightarrow K^{*0} \mu^{+}\mu^{-}$, in the measurement of direct CP violation in $\B_{d} \rightarrow K^{*0}\mu^{+}\mu^{-}$…
In a model of isospin symmetry breaking we obtain the ($e^{-} e^{+} \rightarrow \pi^{-} \pi^{+}$) amplitude $Q$ and the isospin $I=0$ and $I=1$ relative phase $\psi$ at the $\phi (1020)$ resonance in aproximate agreement with experiment.…
CP-violating asymmetries in the decay $B^0(t)\to \pi^+ \pi^-$ are a potentially rich source of information about both strong and weak phases. In a previous treatment by the present authors use was made of an assumption about the relative…
Recent branching fraction and asymmetry results of Electroweak Penguin B decays from BaBar, Belle and CLEO experiments are reviewed. While these branching fractions are consistent with the Standard Model expectations and are being used to…
The updated CLEO measurement of the electromagnetic penguin process $B \to X_s \gamma$ is presented and compared to the ALEPH result. Implications on new physics are discussed and the status of recent searches for $B \to X_s l^+ l^-$ modes…
The b -> d penguin amplitude receives contributions from internal u, c and t-quarks. We show that it is impossible to measure the weak phase of any of these penguin contributions without theoretical input. However, it is possible to obtain…
