B-Factory Signals for a Warped Extra Dimension

Abstract

We study predictions for B physics in a class of warped extra dimension models recently introduced, where few ( approximately 3) TeV Kaluza-Klein masses are consistent with electroweak data due to custodial symmetry. As in the standard model (SM), flavor violations arise due to the heavy top quark leading to striking signals: (i) New physics contributions to DeltaF=2 transitions are comparable to the SM, so the success of the SM unitarity triangle fit is a "coincidence." Thus, clean extractions of unitarity angles are likely to be affected, in addition to O(1) deviation from the SM prediction in B(s) mixing. (ii) O(1) deviation from various SM predictions for B-->X(s)l(+)l(-). (iii) Large mixing-induced CP asymmetry in radiative B decays. Also, the neutron electric dipole moment is roughly 20 times larger than the current bound so that this framework has a "CP problem."
