    We estimate the CKM matrix elements in the recently proposed minimal model, anti-SU(7) GUT for the family unification, [ 3 ]+2 [ 2 ]+8 [ 1ˉ ][\,3\,]+2\,[\,2\,]+8\,[\,\bar{1}\,]+\,(singlets). It is shown that the real angles of the right-handed unitary matrix diagonalizing the mass matrix can be determined to fit the Particle Data Group data. However, the phase in the right-handed unitary matrix is not constrained very much. We also includes an argument about allocating the Jarlskog phase in the CKM matrix. Phenomenologically, there are three classes of possible parametrizations, \delq=\alpha,\beta, or γ\gamma of the unitarity triangle. For the choice of \delq=\alpha, the phase is close to a maximal one.Comment: 11 pages of LaTex file with 2 figure

    The D0 same-charge dimuon asymmetry and possibile new CP violation sources in the Bs−BˉsB_s-\bar{B}_s system

    Recently, the D0 collaboration reported a large CP violation in the same-sign dimuon charge asymmetry which has the 3.2σ3.2 \sigma deviation from the value estimated in the Standard Model. In this paper, several new physics models are considered: the MSSM, two Higgs doublet model, the recent dodeca model, and a new Z′Z' model. Generally, it is hard to achieve such a large CP violation consistently with other experimental constraints. We find that a scheme with extra non-anomalous U(1)′' gauge symmetry is barely consistent. In general, the extra Z′Z' gauge boson induces the flavor changing neutral current interactions at tree level, which is the basic reason allowing a large new physics CP violation. To preserve the U(1)′' symmetry at high energy, SU(2)L_L singlet exotic heavy quarks of mass above 1 TeV and the Standard Model gauge singlet scalars are introduced.Comment: 12 pages, 13 figure
