New Physics and Enhanced Gluonic Penguin

Abstract

We discuss the historical development of the gluonic B-penguin, its sensitivity to $H^+$ effects, and $\bsg\sim$ 10--15% as a possible solution to the $\Bsl$ and $n_C$ problems. The latter and the connection of the gluonic penguin to inclusive $B\to \eta^\prime+ X_s$ production through the gluon anomaly, with the intriguing prospect of 10% inclusive CP asymmetries, bring us to topics of current interest.
