Constraints on the phase γ\gamma and new physics from B→KπB\to K\pi Decays

Recent results from CLEO on $B\to K\pi$ indicate that the phase $\gamma$ may be substantially different from that obtained from other fit to the KM matrix elements in the Standard Model. We show that $\gamma$ extracted using $B\to K\pi, \pi\pi$ is sensitive to new physics occurring at loop level. It provides a powerful method to probe new physics in electroweak penguin interactions. Using effects due to anomalous gauge couplings as an example, we show that within the allowed ranges for these couplings information about $\gamma$ obtained from $B\to K \pi, \pi\pi$ can be very different from the Standard Model prediction.Comment: Revised version with analysis done using new data from CLEO.

ϵ′/ϵ\epsilon'/\epsilon And Anomalous Gauge Boson Couplings

We study $\epsilon'/\epsilon$ in the Standard Model and $\epsilon'/\epsilon$ due to anomalous $WW\gamma$ and $WWZ$ interactions %using recent result on the top quark mass from CDF. as a function of the top quark mass. In the Standard Model, $\epsilon'/\epsilon$ is in the range $10^{-3} \sim 10^{-4}$ for the central value of top quark mass reported by CDF. The anomalous gauge couplings can have large contributions to the $CP$ violating $I=2$ amplitude in $K \rightarrow \pi\pi$. Within the allowed regions for the anomalous gauge couplings, $\epsilon'/\epsilon$ can be dramatically different from the standard model prediction.Comment: 17 pages plus one figure (available from the author upon request), Revtex, OITS-541, UM-P-94/4
