Abstract: (arXiv)
We study the effect of non-universal ZZ' boson in the decay modes BKπB \to K \pi. In the standard model these modes receive dominant contributions from bsb \to s QCD penguins. Therefore, in this limit one expects Sπ0K0sin2βS_{\pi^0 K^0} \approx \sin 2 \beta , Aπ0K00A_{\pi^0 K^0} \approx 0 and Aπ0KAπ+KA_{\pi^0 K^-} \approx A_{\pi^+ K^-}. The corrections due to the presence of small non-penguin contributions is found to yield Sπ0K0>sin2βS_{\pi^0 K^0} > \sin 2 \beta and ΔACP(Kπ)2.5\Delta A_{CP}(K \pi) \simeq 2.5 %. However, the measured value of Sπ0K0S_{\pi^0 K^0} is less than sin2β \sin 2 \beta and ΔACP(Kπ)15\Delta A_{CP}(K \pi) \simeq 15 %. We show the model with a non-universal ZZ' boson can successfully explain these anomalies.
