Abstract
The left-handedness of the b quark weak couplings has not yet been tested experimentally. We present an SU(2×SU(2×U(1) model with purely right-handed b decay couplings. We show that the model is consistent with the quite severe existing experimental constraints from B decays, from B¯ mixing, from the neutral K mass difference, and from CP violation in the kaon system. We point out a difficulty in distinguishing our scheme from the standard model in semileptonic B decays.
