    omitted in particular,
  • not much will be said about Bs physics
  • prospects for B studies at hadron machines will
    not be covered

CP violation a fundamental question
  • But reallywhy spend 109 on B factories?
  • Explore CP violation
  • outside of K0 system
  • via different mechanisms (direct, mixing,
    interference)
  • in many different final states
  • Test the CKM picture
  • survey the unitarity triangle
  • can all measurements be accommodated in this
    scheme?

Return on investment
PDG 1999
  • B factories give us
  • New physics? (high risk)
  • Determination of unitarity triangle (balanced
    growth)
  • Better understanding of heavy hadrons (old
    economy)

PDG 2002

CKM matrix
  • Kobayashi and Maskawa noted that a 3rd generation
    results in an irreducible phase in mixing
    matrix
  • Observed smallness of off-diagonal terms suggests
    a parameterization in powers of sin?C

3 x 3 unitary matrix. Only phase differences are
physical, ? 3 real angles and 1 imaginary phase

B meson production
  • Threshold production in ee- at Y(4S) has
    advantages
  • cross-section 1.1nb, purity (bb / Siqiqi) 1/4
  • simple initial state (BB in p-wave, no other
    particles,decay products overlap)
  • easy to trigger, apply kinematic constraints
  • Role of hadron machines
  • cross-sections much higher (102)
  • Bs are produced
  • triggering harder, purity (b / Siqi) (few/103)

Requirements
  • High luminosity (need 108 B or more) this means
    L1033-34/cm-2s-1, 30-100 fb-1/year
  • Measure ?t tB1-tB2 (need to boost Y(4S) in lab,
    use silicon micro-vertex detectors to measure ?z)
  • Fully reconstruct B decays with good efficiency
    and signal/noise (need good track and photon
    resolution, acceptance)
  • Determine B flavour (need to separate l, p, K
    over full kinematic range)

B hadron decay
  • QCD becomes non-perturbative at ?QCD 0.2 GeV,
    and isolated b quarks do not exist.
  • How does QCD modify the weak decay of b quark?
  • Bound b quark is virtual and has some Fermi
    momentum this was the basis of the parton
    (valence) model of B decay
  • Parton model had some successes, but did not
    provide quantitative estimates of theoretical
    uncertainties.
  • Modern approach use the operator product
    expansion to separate short- and long-distance
    physics

25
Operator Product Expansion
  • The heavy particle fields can be integrated out
    of the full Lagrangian to yield an effective
    theory with the same low-energy behaviour (e.g.
    V-A theory)
  • The effective action is non-local locality is
    restored in an expansion (OPE) of local operators
    of increasing dimension ( 1/Mheavyn )
  • The coefficients are modified by perturbative
    corrections to the short-distance physics
  • An arbitrary scale µ separates short- and
    long-distance effects the physics cannot depend
    on it

26
OPE in B decays
  • The scale µ separating short/long distance
    matters not ? except in finite order
    calculations ?
  • typically use ?QCD ltlt µ mb ltlt MW aS(mb) 0.22
  • Wilson coefficients Ci(µ) contain weak decay and
    hard-QCD processes
  • The matrix elements in the sum are
    non-perturbative
  • Renormalization group allows summation of terms
    involving large logs (ln MW/µ) ? improved Ci(µ)

27
Heavy Quarks in QCD
  • There is no way to avoid non-perturbative effects
    in calculating B hadron decay widths
  • Heavy Quarks have mQ gtgt ?QCD (or, equivalently,
    Compton wavelength ?Q ltlt 1/?QCD )
  • Since ?Q ltlt 1/?QCD, soft gluons (p2 ?QCD)
    cannot probe the quantum numbers of a heavy
    quark
  • ? Heavy Quark Symmetry

28
Heavy Quark Symmetry
  • For mQ?8 the light degrees of freedom decouple
    from those of the heavy quark
  • the light degrees of freedom are invariant under
    changes to the heavy quark mass, spin and flavour
  • SQ and Jl are separately conserved.
  • The heavy quark (atomic nucleus) acts as a static
    source of color (electric) charge. Magnetic
    (color) effects are relativistic and thus
    suppressed by 1/mQ
  • HQ symmetry is not surprising - different
    isotopes of a given element have similar
    chemistry!

29
Heavy Quark symmetry group
  • The heavy quark spin-flavour symmetry forms an
    SU(2Nh) symmetry group, where Nh is the number of
    heavy quark flavours.
  • In the SM, t and b are heavy quarks c is
    borderline.
  • No hadrons form with t quarks (they decay too
    rapidly) so in practice only b and c hadrons are
    of interest in applying heavy quark symmetry
  • This symmetry group forms the basis of an
    effective theory of QCD Heavy Quark Effective
    Theory

30
Heavy Quark Effective Theory
  • The heavy quark is almost on-shell pQmQvk,
    where k is the residual momentum, kµ ltlt mQ
  • The velocity v is same for heavy quark and
    hadron
  • The QCD Lagrangian
    for a heavy quark can be rewritten to emphasize
    HQ symmetry
  • In Q rest frame, h(H) correspond to upper(lower)
    components of the Dirac spinor Q(x)

31
HQET Lagrangian
  • The first term is all that remains for mQ?8 it
    is clearly invariant under HQ spin-flavour
    symmetry
  • The terms proportional to 1/mQ are
  • the kinetic energy operator OK for the residual
    motion of the heavy quark, and
  • the interaction of the heavy quark spin with the
    color-magnetic field, (operator OG)
  • The associated matrix elements are
    non-perturbative however, they are related to
    measurable quantities

32
Non-perturbative parameters
  • The kinetic energy term is parameterized by
  • ?1 ltBOKBgt/2mB
  • The spin dependent term is parameterized by
  • ?2 -ltBOGBgt/6mB
  • The mass of a heavy meson is given by
  • The parameter ? arises from the light quark
    degrees of freedom and is defined by ?
    limm?8(mH mQ)

  • HQET simplifies the description of B?Xce? decays
    and allows better determinations of Vcb
  • Consider the (zero recoil) limit in which vcvb
    (i.e. when the leptons take away all the kinetic
    energy)
  • If SU(2Nh) were exact, the light QCD degrees of
    freedom wouldnt know that anything happened
  • For mQ?8 the form factor can depend only on
    wvbvc (the relativistic boost relating b and c
    frames)
  • This universal function is known as the
    Isgur-Wise function, and satisfies ?(w 1) 1.

35
B?De? form factors
  • The HQET matrix element for B?De? decays is
  • The form factors hV are related in HQET
  • ? must be measured predicted relations can be
    tested!

36
Determination of Vcb
  • The zero-recoil point in B?D()e? is suppressed
    by phase space the rate vanishes at w1,
    requiring an extrapolation from wgt1 to w1.

  • includes radiative and HQ
    symmetry-breaking corrections, and

Lukes theorem
37
Current status of Vcb from B?De?
  • Measurements of the rate at w1 are
    experimentally challenging due to
  • limited statistics dG/dw(w1) 0
  • softness of transition p from D?D
  • extrapolation to w1
  • Current status (PDG 2002)

5 error
38
Tests of HQET
  • Predicted relations between form factors can be
    used to test HQET and explore symmetry-breaking
    terms
  • The accuracy of tests at present is close to
    testing the lowest order symmetry-breaking
    corrections e.g. the ratio of form factors ? /?
    for B?De? / B?De? is

  • HQET is not helpful in analyzing B?Xue? decays in
    order to extract Vub
  • The decays B0?pl-? and B??l-? have been observed
    (BF 210-4) large backgrounds from ee-?qq
    events
  • Prospects for calculating the form factor in
    B?pl? decay on the Lattice are good current
    uncertainties are in the 15-20 range on Vub
  • Not yet very constraining

40
Inclusive Decay Rates
  • The inclusive decay widths of B hadrons into
    partially-specified final states (e.g.
    semileptonic) can be calculated using an OPE
    based on
  • HQET - the effects on the b quark of being bound
    to light d.o.f. can be accounted for in a 1/mb
    expansion involving familiar non-perturbative
    matrix elements
  • Parton-hadron duality the hypothesis that decay
    widths summed over many final states are
    insensitive to the properties of individual
    hadrons and can be calculated at the parton level.

41
Parton-Hadron Duality
  • One distinguishes two cases
  • Global duality the integration over a large
    range of invariant hadronic mass provides the
    smearing, as in ee-?hadrons and semileptonic HQ
    decays
  • Local duality a stronger assumption the sum
    over multiple decay channels provides the
    smearing (e.g. b?s? vs. B?Xs?). No good near
    kinematic boundary.
  • Global duality is on firmer ground, both
    theoretically and experimentally

42
Heavy Quark Expansion
  • The decay rate into all states with quantum
    numbers f is
  • Expanding this in aS and 1/mb leads towhere
    ?1 and ?2 are the HQET kinetic energy and
    chromomagnetic matrix elements.
  • Note the absence of any 1/mb term!

  • The HQE can be used for both b?u and b?c decays
  • The dependence on mb5 must be dealt with in
    fact, an ambiguity of order ?QCD exists in
    defining mb. Care must be taken to correct all
    quantities to the same order in aS in the same
    scheme)
  • The non-perturbative parameters ?1 and ?2 must be
    measured ?20.12 GeV from B-B splitting ?1
    from b?s?, moments in semileptonic decays,

44
The upsilon expansion1
  • The mb appearing in the HQE is the pole mass it
    is infrared sensitive (changes at different
    orders in PT)
  • Instead, one can expand both G(B?Xf) and mY(1S)
    in a perturbation series in aS(mb) and substitute
    mY(1S) for mb in G(B?Xf) this is the upsilon
    expansion
  • There are subtleties in this the expansion must
    be done to different orders in aS(mb) in the two
    quantities
  • The resulting series is well behaved and gives

Semileptonic B decay basics

47
Determination of Vub
  • The same method (GSL) can be used to extract
    Vub.
  • Additional theoretical uncertainties arise due to
    the restrictive phase space cuts needed to
    reject the dominant B?Xce? decays
  • Traditional methods usesendpoint of lepton
    momentumspectrum acceptance 10leading to
    large extrapolationuncertainty

Hadronic B decays
  • More complicated than semileptonic or leptonic
    decays due to larger number of colored objects
  • Many of the interesting decays are charmless ?
    HQET not applicable
  • QCD factorization and other approaches can be
    used, but jury is still out on how well they
    agree with data
  • No more will be said in these lectures

52
Surveying the unitarity triangle
  • The sides of the triangle are measured in b?ul?
    and b?cl? transitions (Ru) and in Bd0-Bd0 and
    Bs0-Bs0 oscillations (Rt)

  • The time evolution of the B0B0 system

  • The dispersive part of the matrix element

    contributes to ?m
  • The absorptive part corresponds to real
    intermediate (flavour-neutral) states and gives
    rise to ?G

58
Bd oscillations
  • For B0(bd), ?G/Gltlt1 only O(1) of possible
    decays are to flavour-neutral states (ccd or
    uud) dominant decays are to cud or cl?
  • Consequently, most decay modes correlate with the
    b quark favour at decay time. Contrast with K0
    system
  • Therefore most decay modes are not CP eigenstates
    (which are necessarily flavour-neutral)
  • The large top quark mass breaks the GIM
    cancellation of this FCNC and enhances rate ?m/G
    large tB allows oscillations to compete with decay

Experimental status of Bs oscillations
  • In the BS system the CKM-favoured decay b?ccs
    leads to flavour-neutral (ccss) states, so ?G/G
    may be as large as 15 (but we still have ?Gltlt
    ?m)
  • Note G(Bs) G(Bd) to O(1)
  • ?m/G is much larger than for Bd, since

Unitarity triangle constraints from non-CP
violating quantities
  • These measurements alone strongly favour a
    non-zero area for the triangle this implies CP
    violation in SM

64
CP violation
  • CP violation is one of the requirements for
    producing a matter-dominated universe (Sakharov)
  • Why isnt C violation alone enough (CYgt Ygt)?
  • Chirality if YL behaves identically to YR then
    CP is a good symmetry. In this case the
    violation of C does not lead to a
    matterantimatter asymmetry.
  • CP violation first observed in K0L decays to the
    (CP even) pp final state (1964)

65
CP violation in SM
  • Mechanism for CP violation in SM Kobayashi and
    Maskawa mixing matrix with 1 irreducible phase
  • CP violation is proportional to the area of any
    unitarity triangle, each of which has area J/2,
    whereJ Jarlskog invariant c12c23c213s12s23s13
    sind A2?6?
  • Jmax is (6v3)-1 0.1 observed value is 410-5
    this is why we say CP violation in SM is small
  • Massive neutrinos imply that the same mechanism
    for CP violation exists in lepton mixing (MNS)
    matrix
  • Since it depends on a phase, the only observable
    effects come from interference between amplitudes

66
CP violation in flavour mixing
  • This is the CP violation first observed in
    nature, namely the decay of KL to pp, which comes
    about because of a small CP-even component to the
    KL wavefunction
  • Very small in B system because ?Gltlt?m
  • This type of CP violation is responsible for the
    small asymmetry in the rates for KL?pe-?e and
    KL?p-e?e
  • Non-perturbative QCD prevents precise predictions
    for this type of CP violation

  • The quark level transition b?uud gives access to
    sin(2a). In this case, however, tree and Penguin
    amplitudes can be comparable more complicated.
  • Decay modes B0?pp, ?p,
  • In practice, the coefficients of the time
    dependent CP asymmetry, Spp and Cpp (-App), are
    measured
  • Additional measurements are needed to separately
    determine the tree and penguin amplitudes these
    involve all B?pp charge combinations or B??p with
    an analysis of the Dalitz plot.

Measuring CP violation in Bd decays
  • CP violation in Bd decays can be studied at
    asymmetric ee- colliders (B factories) with
    vsmY(4S)
  • Time integrated CP asymmetry vanishes
    measurement of ?t uses boost of CM along beam
    line and precise position measurements of charged
    tracks
  • Reconstruction of CP eigenstates requires good
    momentum and energy resolution and acceptance
  • Determination of flavour at decay time requires
    the non-CP tag B to be partially reconstructed

  • Use charge of decay products
  • Lepton
  • Kaon
  • Soft pion
  • Use topological variables
  • e.g., to distinguish between primary, cascade
    lepton
  • Use hierarchical tagging based on physics

CP violation in Bs decays
  • The Bs system is as good a place to study CP
    violation as Bd however, Bs production is
    suppressed
  • Presence of spectator s quark ? different set of
    unitarity angles are accessible
  • Rapid oscillation term (?ms30?md) makes time
    resolved experiments difficult
  • Width difference ?G may be exploited instead
  • Dedicated B experiments at hadron facilities
    (like LHC-B) will be needed to do this

87
Current status in ?-? space
  • Measurements are consistent with SM
  • CP asymmetries from B factories now dominate the
    determination of ?
  • Improved precision needed on Vub and other
    angles (a,?)
  • Bs oscillations too!

88
Rare decays
  • Window on new physics look for modes highly
    suppressed in SM
  • FCNC decays, forbidden at tree level b?s(d)?,
    b?s(d)ll-, b?s(d)??
  • Leptonic decays B0?ll-, B?l?
  • New physics can enhance rates, produce CP
    asymmetries, modify F/B asymmetries
  • Ratio of b?d / b?s FCNC decays measures
    Vtd2/Vts2

89
b?s(d)?
  • B?K? and b?s? (inclusive) both observed by CLEO
    in mid-90s first EW penguins in B decay
  • BR consistent with SM limits H, SUSY

    (3.290.33)10-4 (theory)
    BF(B?K?) (4.1 0.3 )10-5 (expt)
  • non-strange modes (e.g. B???) not yet observed
    limits 10-5 and improving
  • Photon spectrum also used to probe shape function

90
b?s(d)ll (or ??)
  • Replace l?? to get graphs for b?s??
  • Presence of W, Z give sensitivity to new physics
    that does not couple to ?
  • New heavy particles at EW scale (from SUSY, etc.)
    can give significant rate changes w.r.t. SM
    prediction

    generations (important, since b?stt- cant be
    measured)
  • BF quoted are sum over all ? species
  • SM predictions
  • BF(B ? Xs??) lt 6.410-4 at 90 c.l. (ALEPH)
  • BF(B?K??) lt 2.410-4 at 90 c.l. (CLEO)
  • lt 9.410-5 at 90
    c.l. (BaBar prelim)

93
B Physics broad and deep
  • CP violation in B decays is large and will be
    observed in many modes
  • Precision studies of B decays and oscillations
    provide the dominant source of information on 3
    of the 4 CKM parameters
  • Rare B decays offer a good window on new physics
    due to large mt and Vtb
  • B hadrons are a laboratory for studying QCD at
    large and small scales. A large range of
    measurements can be made to test our
    calculations. Modern techniques allow a
    quantitative estimate of theoretical errors

94
A glimpse of things to come?
  • B physics and neutrino experiments have produced
    the most significant discoveries since the
    LEP/SLC program
  • The same two fields will probe deeper into
    flavour mixing and CP violation
  • CKM physics is becoming high precision physics
