T-violating triple-product correlations in hadronicbdecays

Abstract
We study T-violating triple-product asymmetries in the quark-level decay bsuū within the standard model (SM). We find that only two types of triple products are non-negligible. First, the asymmetry in pu(su×sū) or pū(su×sū) can be as large as about 5%. It can be probed in BV1V2 decays, where V1 and V2 are vector mesons. Second, the asymmetry in sb(pu×ps) can be in the range 1–3 %. One can search for this signal in decays such as ΛbΛπ+π. All other triple-product asymmetries are expected to be small within the SM. This gives us new methods of searching for new physics.
