A Roadmap to Control Penguin Effects in $B_d^0\to J/\psi K_{\mathrm{S}}^0$ and $B_s^0\to J/\psi \varphi$

Abstract

Measurements of CP violation in $B_d^0\to J/\psi K_{\mathrm{S}}^0$ and $B_s^0\to J/\psi \varphi$ decays play key roles in testing the quark-flavour sector of the Standard Model. The theoretical interpretation of the corresponding observables is limited by uncertainties from doubly Cabibbo-suppressed penguin topologies. With continuously increasing experimental precision, it is mandatory to get a handle on these contributions, which cannot be calculated reliably in QCD. In the case of the measurement of $\sin 2\beta$ from $B_d^0\to J/\psi K_{\mathrm{S}}^0$, the $U$-spin-related decay $B_s^0\to J/\psi K_{\mathrm{S}}^0$ offers a tool to control the penguin effects. As the required measurements are not yet available, we use data for decays with similar dynamics and the $SU(3)$ flavour symmetry to constrain the size of the expected penguin corrections. We predict the CP asymmetries of $B_s^0\to J/\psi K_{\mathrm{S}}^0$ and present a scenario to fully exploit the physics potential of this decay, emphasising also the determination of hadronic parameters and their comparison with theory. In the case of the benchmark mode $B_s^0\to J/\psi \varphi$ used to determine the $B_s^0$-${\bar{B}}_s^0$ mixing phase ${\varphi }_s$ the penguin effects can be controlled through $B_d^0\to J/\psi {\rho }^0$ and $B_s^0\to J/\psi {\bar{K}}^{\ast 0}$ decays. The LHCb collaboration has recently presented pioneering results on this topic. We analyse their implications and present a roadmap for controlling the penguin effects.
