Theses and Dissertations

The Belle detector is a particle physics detector that is located around the collision point of the asymmetric-energy e+e- collider KEKB. Both detector and collider are located at the KEK international lab in Japan. This thesis uses the full Belle data sample of 772 × 106 BB¯ pairs collected at the Υ(4S) resonance. Decays with large b → s penguin transitions in the standard model (SM), such as B± → φKS0π±, could be a source of CP violation. This is important in the race to find the mechanism behind the universe’s matter-antimatter imbalance. b → s penguin transitions allow us …
