Flavor Symmetry, K^0-\bar{K}^0 Mixing and New Physics Effects on CP Violation in D^{\pm} and D^{\pm}_s Decays

Abstract

Flavor symmetry and symmetry breaking, K^0-\bar{K}^0 mixing and possible effects of new physics on CP violation in weak decay modes D^{\pm} \to K_{S,L} + X^{\pm}, (K_{S,L} + π^0)_{K^*} + X^{\pm} (for X =π, ρ, a_1) and D^{\pm}_s \to K_{S,L} + X^{\pm}_s, (K_{S,L} +π^0)_{K^*} + X^{\pm}_s (for X_s = K, K^*) are analyzed. Relations between D^{\pm} and D^{\pm}_s decay branching ratios are obtained from the d \Leftrightarrow s subgroup of SU(3) and dominant symmetry-breaking mechanisms are investigated. A CP asymmetry of magnitude 3.3\times 10^{-3} is shown to result in the standard model from K^0-\bar{K}^0 mixing in the final-state. New physics affecting the doubly Cabibbo-suppressed channels might either cancel this asymmetry or enhance it up to the percent level. A comparison between the CP asymmetries in D^{\pm}_{(s)} \to K_{S} X^{\pm}_{(s)} and D^{\pm}_{(s)} \to K_L X^{\pm}_{(s)} can pin down effects of new physics.
