摘要
We present the first general analysis of New Physics contributions to the D-0-(D) over bar (0) lifetime difference (equivalently Delta Gamma(D)). We argue that New Physics (NP) contributions to vertical bar Delta C vertical bar=1 processes can dominate the lifetime difference in the flavor SU(3) limit. We provide several specific examples of models that produce sizable effects in Delta Gamma(D) for realistic values of light quark masses, even if such NP contributions are undetectable in the current round of D-0 decay experiments. This makes Delta Gamma(D) a viable observable for studies of indirect effects of New Physics.
