$B_s\to D_s K$ as a Probe of CPT Violation

We discuss some possible signals of CPT violation in the $B_s$ system that may be probed at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). We show how one can construct combinations ofobservables coming from tagged and untagged decay rates of $B_s\to D_s^\pm K^\mp$ that can unambiguously differentiate between CPT violating and CPT conserving new physics (NP) models contributing in $B_s-\bar B_s$ mixing. We choose this particular mode as an illustrative example for two reasons: (i) In the Standard Model, there is only one decay amplitude, so it is easier to untangle any new physics; (ii) $B_s$ being a neutral meson, it is possible to unambiguously identify any sign of CPT violation that occurs only in mixing but not in decay. We define an observable which is useful to extract the CPT violating parameter in $B_s$ decay, and also discuss how far the results are applicable even if CPT violation is present in both mixing and decay.
