Bounds on new physics from B→V1V2 decays -: art. no. 114013

We consider the possibility that physics beyond the standard model contributes to the decays B-->V1V2, where V-1 and V-2 are vector mesons. We show that a time-dependent angular analysis of B-->V1V2 decays provides many tests for this new physics (NP). Furthermore, although one cannot solve for the NP parameters, we show that this angular analysis allows one to put bounds on these parameters. This can be useful in estimating the scale of NP, and can tell us whether any NP found directly at future high-energy colliders can be responsible for effects seen in B-->V1V2 decays.
