Title: Implications of the Possibility that sin(2 beta) is Small

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/787174· OSTI ID:787174

Recently, the Babar and Belle collaborations have reported their first measurements of the CP-violating asymmetry in B{sub d} {yields} {psi}K{sub S}, and more precise results will follow soon. We discuss what a future evidence for small sin2{beta} could mean, contrasting the usual possibility of new physics in the B{sub d} system, with the interesting alternative that the new physics effects are confined to the kaon system.
