Abstract: (Springer)
We investigateM0Mˉ0M^0- \bar M^0 mixing and CP violation in the minimal left-right symmetric gauge model with spontaneous P and CP violation. The dominant contributions to the mixing amplitude including QCD corrections are calculated explicitly forB0Bˉ0B^0- \bar B^0 . While the amount of mixing is not much changed with respect to the standard model leftright symmetry can give rise to significantly larger CP violation in theBs0Bˉs0B_s^0- \bar B_s^0 system (up to two orders of magnitude for the dilepton charge asymmetry). Sizable CP violating effects require that the left-right contribution to theKLKS mass difference has the same sign as the standard model contribution. We also comment onD0Dˉ0D^0- \bar D^0 mixing including a careful discussion of the standard model prediction for the short distance part.
