May2005 Heavy Quark Phenomenology -- B → ϕK(*) Cpv/polarization, and Collider Implications

The hint for BSM CP violation in B → ϕK_S is now more confused, but the ϕK* polarization anomaly seems real. We present a picture based on a flavor-mixed, right-handed "strange-beauty" squark ^{∼ {sb}_1R}, driven light by the large ∼ {s}_{R-∼ {b}_R} squark flavor mixing, which carries a unique new CP phase. The ^{∼ {sb}_1R} could impact on S<INF>ϕK_S</INF> (or alternatively S<INF>η'K_S</INF>), B_s, mixing, sin 2Φ<INF>B_s</INF>, S<INF>K_Sπ⁰γ</INF> and other b → s transitions, and can be searched for directly at the Tevatron. Whether SM or BSM, a heuristic model is given where transverse ϕK* polarization descends from the gluon helicity of on-shell b → sg.
