Mixing CP asymmetry calculation

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the mixing-induced CP asymmetry for the decay of ##\bar{B^0_s}\rightarrow D^+_s \pi^-##. Participants express difficulty in finding the corresponding decay amplitude for ##B^0_s \rightarrow D^+_s \pi^-##, which is necessary for evaluating the asymmetry parameter ##\xi_f^{s}##. There is confusion regarding the correct representation of decay diagrams, particularly concerning virtual W bosons and the presence of different topologies in the decay processes. The conversation highlights the challenge of parametrizing amplitudes when dealing with virtual particles and the absence of real W bosons. Overall, the thread emphasizes the complexities of drawing and understanding decay diagrams in this context.

Homework Statement


Consider decay ##\bar{B^0_s}\rightarrow D^+_s \pi^-## and calculate its mixing-induces CP asymmetry.

Homework Equations


$$\xi_f^{s}=e^{i\theta_{M_{12}}} \frac{A(\bar{B^0_q}\rightarrow f)}{A(B^0_q \rightarrow f)}=\pm e^{-i\phi_s}\frac{ e^{i\phi_1}|A_1|e^{i\delta_1}+e^{i\phi_2}|A_2|e^{i\delta_2}}{e^{-i\phi_1}|A_1|e^{i\delta_1}+e^{-i\phi_2}|A_2|e^{i\delta_2}}$$

$$\phi_s=2\arg(V^*_{ts}V_{tb})$$

##\phi_1, \phi_2## are CKM phases.

The Attempt at a Solution


[/B]
I could easily draw diagram for ##\bar{B^0_s}\rightarrow D^+_s \pi^-##, but I got stuck on drawing ##B^0_s \rightarrow D^+_s \pi^-##. I couldn't find this decay in pdg. But I need it to evaluate ## \xi_f^{s}##. How should I evaluate ##B^0_s\rightarrow D^+_s \pi^-## amplitude then?

There is a diagram with a second virtual W and a virtual quark, for example.
 
I guess you were referring to penguin topologies, but I don't get how to draw properly, so I did this diagram, which has virtual quark for sure (I don't know how to understand if W are virtual). Is it okay? I haven't seen such diagrams so far.

then my both decays have different topologies. Do I still have the right to parametrize my amplitudes in form ## A = e^{i \phi_{CKM}} |A_f| e^{i\delta_f}##?

There is not enough mass to make a real W, and no W is an external line - they are all virtual.

There is at least one more diagram of this type. It is an odd decay to look at. With a kaon instead of a pion it is studied.

The diagrams don’t have loops - no penguin diagram.
 
Thread 'Help with Time-Independent Perturbation Theory "Good" States Proof'
(Disclaimer: this is not a HW question. I am self-studying, and this felt like the type of question I've seen in this forum. If there is somewhere better for me to share this doubt, please let me know and I'll transfer it right away.) I am currently reviewing Chapter 7 of Introduction to QM by Griffiths. I have been stuck for an hour or so trying to understand the last paragraph of this proof (pls check the attached file). It claims that we can express Ψ_{γ}(0) as a linear combination of...
