Abstract

We review the effects of new physics on CP asymmetries and decays of B mesons. Possible sources and corresponding signals for new physics are studied briefly. We discuss how the decay mode b → s ℓℓ (and B → K*ℓℓ) will enable us to understand the nature of new physics. We also examine the possibility of truly clean signature of new physics — a signature based on observables alone and without hadronic uncertainties.

  22. This comment is as appears in The BaBar Physics Book (ref. [13]). In my view it should be taken to mean that R-parity violation has many signals. In India we have one of the best groups in the world working on R-parity violation — which clearly means that R-parity phenomenology in B physics should be pursued vigrously in the working group activity at WHEPP-6
