Two new CP-violating phases arise from the right-handed up quark sector. We consider CP violation in both neutral and charged B decays. Some of the important findings are as follows. 1) Large direct-CP asymmetry is found to be possible for B+- to psi/J K+-. 2) Sizable D-anti-D mixing effect at the percent level is found to be admissible despite the stringent constraints from the data on K-anti-K mixing, b to s gamma and B to tau nu decays. 3) A simple but distinctive CP asymmetry pattern emerges in decays of B_d and B_s mesons, including B_d to psi/J K_S, D+ D-, and B_s to D_s+ D_s-, psi eta/eta^prime, psi/J K_S. 4) The effect of D-anti-D mixing on the CP asymmetry in B+- to D/anti-D K+- and on the extraction of the angle gamma of the unitarity triangle from such decays can be significant.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2000-07-27T18:24:16.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "two-higgs doublet model", "novel cp-violating effects", "charged-higgs", "tau nu decays", "distinctive cp asymmetry pattern emerges" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
