Abstract: (arXiv)
New physics models that increase the decay rate of contribute to the absorptive part of -- mixing, and may enhance all the way up to its current experimental bound. In particular, the model with a scalar leptoquark can lead to a significant violation of the expectation (SM). It can even allow regions in the - parameter space that are close to the best fit obtained by CDF and D\{O} through . In addition, it can help explain the anomalous like-sign dimuon charge asymmetry observed recently by D\O. A measurement of is thus crucial for a better understanding of new physics involved in -- mixing.Note:
