Effect of $K^0-\bar{K}^0$ Mixing on CP and CPT Violations in $B_{c}^{\pm}\rightarrow B^{\pm} K_{S,L}^{0}$ Decays

TL;DR

This paper analyzes how $K^0-ar{K}^0$ mixing influences CP and CPT violations in specific $B_c$ meson decays, identifying promising decay channels and event requirements for observing these effects at high-energy colliders.

Contribution

It provides the first detailed study of CP and CPT violation effects in $B_c$ decays involving $K^0$ mixing, including decay rates, asymmetries, and experimental observability.

Findings

Some decay chains have large branching ratios exceeding 10^{-6}.

CP asymmetries can surpass 10^{-3} due to $K^0-ar{K}^0$ mixing.

Event requirements for 3$\sigma$ detection are around 10^6 $B_c^ ext{±}$ events.

Abstract

The large data sample of the $B_c$ meson collected at the LHC experiment and the HL-LHC experiment provides us the opportunity to study the $B_c$ decays and the related physics. In this paper, we investigate the effect of $K^0-\bar{K}^0$ mixing on the the branching ratios, CP violations and CPT violations in the $B_{c}^{\pm}\rightarrow B^{\pm} K_{S,L}^{0}$ decays. We find that some of the $B_c^{\pm}\rightarrow B^{\pm} K_{S,L}^0\rightarrow f_{B^{\pm}} f_{K_{S,L}^0}$ decay chains have large branching ratios, whose maximum value can exceed the order of $10^{-6}$, the minimum number of $B_c^\pm$ events times efficiency for observing the decays at three standard deviations (3$\sigma$) level is about $ 10^6$. We study the CP asymmetries in the $B_c^{\pm}\rightarrow B^{\pm} K_{S,L}^0$ decays and find that the CP asymmetries can exceed the order of $10^{-3}$, which are dominated by $K^0-\bar{K}^0$ mixing. We give the most promising processes to observe the CP violations and the ranges of the numbers of $B_c^\pm$ events-times-efficiency needed to observe the CP asymmetries at a significance of 3$\sigma$ in these decays. We investigate the possibility to constraint the CPT violation parameter $z$ in the $B_c^{\pm}\rightarrow B^{\pm} K_{S,L}^0\rightarrow f_{B^{\pm}} f_{K_{S,L}^0}$ decays and give the most promising processes to constraint the parameter $z$.
