Striking signature for B-boson in η decay B production: A.E. Nelson, N. Tetradis, Phys. Lett., B221, 80 (1989) B decays: highly suppressed SM background 20 B 0 in MeV mass range S. Tulin, Phys.Rev., D89, (2014) B + 0 Search for a resonance peak of 0 for m B ~ MeV
Jlab Eta Factory (JEF) Experiment ( Jlab Eta Factory (JEF) Experiment ( B 0 ) 21 A stringent constraint on the leptophobic B-boson in MeV range. A positive signal of B in JEF will imply a new fermion with a mass up to a few TeV due to electro-weak anomaly cancellation. Future Future ’ experiment will extend the experimental reach up to 1 GeV
C Invariance Maximally violated in the weak force and is well tested. Assumed in SM for electromagnetic and strong forces, but it is not experimentally well tested (The current constraint: 1 GeV) EDMs place no constraint on CVPC in the presence of a conspiracy or new symmetry; only the direct searches are unambiguous.
