Abstract

We perform model-independent statistical analyses of three scenarios accommodating New Physics (NP) in Delta F=2 flavour-changing neutral current amplitudes. In a scenario in which NP in B\_d-B\_d-bar and B\_s-B\_s-bar is uncorrelated, we find the parameter point representing the Standard-Model disfavoured by 2.7 standard deviations. However, recent LHCb data on B\_s neutral-meson mixing forbid a good accommodation of the D0 data on the semileptonic CP asymmetry A\_SL. We introduce a fourth scenario with NP in both M\_12^d,s and Gamma\_12^d,s, which can accommodate all data. We discuss the viability of this possibility and emphasise the importance of separate measurements of the CP asymmetries in semileptonic B\_d and B\_s decays. All results have been obtained with the CKMfitter analysis package, featuring the frequentist statistical approach and using Rfit to handle theoretical uncertainties.
