No-Go Theorem for Nonstandard Explanations of the Asymmetry
Abstract
The C P asymmetry in , as measured by the BABAR collaboration, differs from the standard model prediction by 2.8 σ . Most nonstandard interactions do not allow for the required strong phase needed to produce a nonvanishing C P asymmetry, leaving only new tensor interactions as a possible mechanism. We demonstrate that, contrary to previous assumptions in the literature, the crucial interference between vector and tensor phases is suppressed by at least 2 orders of magnitude due to Watson’s final-state-interaction theorem. Furthermore, we find that the strength of the relevant C P -violating tensor interaction is strongly constrained by bounds from the neutron electric dipole moment and D – ¯ D mixing. These observations together imply that it is extremely difficult to explain the current measurement in terms of physics beyond the standard model originating in the ultraviolet.
