CP violation in $B_{(s)}\to\phi K$ decays: Standard Model and isospin-dependent New Physics

The penguin-dominated $B\to\phi K$ decays provide sensitive probes of physics beyond the Standard Model. Interpreting them at increasing experimental precision requires control of doubly Cabibbo-suppressed hadronic contributions. Using a factorization approach, we obtain Standard Model benchmarks for the branching rati...
