Searching for New Physics via CP Violation in B -> pi pi
Abstract
Description
We show how B -> pi pi decays can be used to search for new physics in the b -> d flavour-changing neutral current. One needs one piece of theoretical input, which we take to be a prediction for P/T, the ratio of the penguin and tree amplitudes in Bd -> pi+ pi-. If present, new physics can be detected over most of the parameter space. If α(ϕ_2) can be obtained independently, measurements of B+ -> pi+ pi0 and Bd/Bd(bar) -> pi0 pi0 are not even needed.
