4Disclaimers
- These lectures are pedagogical in nature as
such, I will not necessarily - present the very latest measurements
- carefully balance CLEO/Belle/Babar/CDF/LEP (my
own work is on BaBar it will be obvious!) - Due to time constraints, important topics will be
omitted in particular, - not much will be said about Bs physics
- prospects for B studies at hadron machines will
not be covered

8CP 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?

14B 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)

24B 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
Xh ?e
e
B
25Operator 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
26OPE 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)
27Heavy 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
28Heavy 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!
29Heavy 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
30Heavy 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)
31HQET 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
32Non-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 ?

B
- 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.
35B?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!
36Determination 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
37Current 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
38Tests 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

B
- 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
40Inclusive 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.
41Parton-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
42Heavy 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,
44The 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

47Determination 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

large extrapolationuncertainty

51Hadronic 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
52Surveying 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) - CP asymmetries measure the angles

intermediate (flavour-neutral) states and gives

58Bd 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

61Experimental 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/G is much larger than for Bd, since

62Unitarity 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
63(No Transcript)
64CP 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)
65CP 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
66CP 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

amplitudes can be comparable more complicated. - Decay modes B0?pp, ?p,

75Measuring 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

86CP 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
87Current 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!
88Rare decays

suppressed in SM - FCNC decays, forbidden at tree level b?s(d)?,

93B 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
94A 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
