B-factory Signals for a Warped Extra Dimension
Abstract
We study predictions for B-physics in a class of models, recently introduced, with a non-supersymmetric warped extra dimension. In these models few ($\sim 3$) TeV Kaluza-Klein masses are consistent with electroweak data due to bulk custodial symmetry. Furthermore, there is an analog of GIM mechanism which is violated by the heavy top quark (just as in SM) leading to striking signals at $B$-factories: (i) New Physics (NP) contributions to $\Delta F= 2$ transitions are comparable to SM. This implies that, within this NP model, the success of the SM unitarity triangle fit is a ``coincidence''. Thus, clean extractions of unitarity angles via e.g. $B \to \pi \pi,\rho \pi, \rho \rho, DK$ are likely to be affected, in addition to O(1) deviation from SM prediction in $B_s$ mixing. (ii) O(1) deviation from SM predictions for $B \to X_s l^+ l^-$ in rate as well as in forward-backward and direct CP asymmetry. (iii) Large mixing-induced CP asymmetry in radiative B decays, wherein the SM unamibgously predicts very small asymmetries. Also contributions to electric dipole moments are small so that this framework has no ``CP problem''.
