Abstract:
We adopt an effective-lagrangian approach to compute the new-physics contributions to T-violating triple-product correlations in charmless Lambda_b decays. We use factorization and work to leading order in the heavy-quark expansion. We find that the standard-model (SM) predictions for such correlations can be significantly modified. For example, triple products which are expected to vanish in the SM can be enormous (~50%) in the presence of new physics. By measuring triple products in a variety of Lambda_b decays, one can diagnose which new-physics operators are or are not present. Our general results can be applied to any specific model of new physics by simply calculating which operators appear in that model.- 11.30.Er
