Seeking Nonstandard Phases via Direct CP Violation in b→sg^* Processes

Attributing the recent CLEO discovery of B→η^′+X_s to originate (primarily) from the fragmentation of an off-shell gluon (g^*) via b→s+g^*, g^*→g+η^′, we emphasize that many such states (X_g) should materialize. Indeed the hadronic fragments (X_g) of g^* are closely related to those seen in J/ψ→γ(φ, ω)+X_g. A particular final state of considerable interest is X_g  =  K⁺K^-. Signals from such states in B decays may be combined to provide a very sensitive search for CP violating phase(s) from nonstandard physics. The method should work even if the contribution of these source(s) to the rates is rather small (∼10%).
