Outcome from Spontaneous CP Violation for B Decays

Abstract

In the aspon model solution of the strong $C P$ problem, there is a gauged $U (1)$ symmetry, spontaneously broken by the same vacuum expectation value which breaks $C P$ , whose massive gauge boson provides an additional mechanism of weak $C P$ violation. We calculate the $C P$ asymmetries in $B$ decays for the aspon model and show that they are typically smaller than those predicted from the standard model. A linear relation between the $C P$ asymmetries of different decay processes is obtained.
