Triple product correlations in B --> anti-Lambda p pi
Abstract
Description
Triple product correlations (TPC's) involving strange quark spin are elucidated in b --> u u(bar) s process within the standard model. They arise when light quark masses are nonzero. As the momenta and spins of constituent quarks are related to that of the parent hadron, the quark masses are, however small, important and relevant in TPC studies. At this level the TPC's of interest are of the form s_s.[p_u X p_u(bar)] and s_s.[p_s X p_u]. As an application, we look at T-violating effects in B --> anti-Lambda p pi through the TPC s_Λ.[p_ΛX p_p] for which triple product asymmetry is found to be 5.7%-7.6% in the vanishing limit of the strong phase.
