Flavour physics in the LHC era SuperB very ambitious goal is to unravel the structure of the New Physics and the mechanisms causing its very specific flavor pattern Very good sensitivity to NP thru CP violation asymmetries and rare decays Double-prong attack on the quark and lepton sectors 4 4

A conversation between Flavour Physics and LHC energy frontier discovery program When evidence is found for New Physics at the LHC, attention will turn to understanding the overall framework – Is it SUSY? What type of symmetry breaking? – Is it extra dimensions? Are they warped? SuperB/LHCb will be crucial to an understanding of the flavor sector of any type of new physics –Is there charged lepton flavor violation? –Are there new CP phases ? –Is there a charged Higgs ? –Is there minimal flavor violation in the (s)quark sector? 5

Is there a no-loose theorem? In the assumption of a MFV scenario, is the LHC mass range well covered? Is the sensitivity in the leptonic sector meaningful in the LHC era? The answer is PROBABLY YES if you can integrate at least 75 ab -1 with a Super B machine This requires a luminosity in excess of during 5 years

First indications from the LHC No indications so far of « light » new particles No indications so far of « heavy » Higgs boson No indications so far of BSM signal from initial look in the B s system Critical role for SuperB in a « Standardissimo » picture Guy Wormser Nagoya University July

SuperB scope The SuperB project covers : –An asymmetric e+e- collider for B, tau and charm physics with a polarized e- beam –A very intense light source with 3, growing up to 10, light beamlines –A SuperB detector –A very large computing system –Site and infrastructure Guy Wormser La Thuile, March

Synchrotron light SuperB SuperB will have very competitive properties as a light source, from its bends or from ondulators

Light from ondulators Guy Wormser Nagoya University July

SuperB as a light source Italian Institue of technology (IIT) in charge of that part of the project Presently writing detailed specifications for the beam lines Initial plan : 3 to 6 beam lines Guy Wormser Nagoya University July

Funded Flagship Projects December 2010 Slac January 24, Marcello A. Giorgi

SuperB has been approved as the first in a list of 14 “flagship” projects within the new national research plan. The national research plan has been endorsed by “CIPE” ( the institution responsible for infrastructure long term plans) A financial allocation of 256 Million Euros in six years has been approved for the “SuperB Flavour Factory” Approved !

INFN Triennal plan ( ) 25 Gennaio 2011 F.Forti - Stato di SuperB 17

Key milestones Site choice Summer 2011 Start civil engineering End 2011 Machine end Detector TDR end 2011 Start machine installation Early 2013 First collisions Beg 2016 ( Many machine elements are reused from PEP-II ) Guy Wormser La Thuile Workshop March

Machine cost (from CDR2 document) Machine cost : 238 M€ (without contingency) 190 M€ (M&S + manpower (48 M€) –Takes into account reuse of PEP-II components (replacement value 85 M€) Site cost 130 M€ (without contingency) Total needed 368 M€ (514 M€ with contingency and full VAT) Ressources available around 500 M€ taking into account INFN ressources, manpower contributions, contributions from Russia and from IIT. Guy Wormser Nagoya University July

MOU with SLAC ( July 2011 draft)

SuperB Machine is an international project –Brainpower will come from an international team consisting for the moment of : Italy, US, France, Russia, UK –Detailed project organization ongoing now. Should be ready in the coming weeks –Complete list of Work Packages being prepared. Important responsabilities will be entrusted to foreign collaborators –The matrix of who is doing what should be finalzed asap. Time to join! Marcello A. Giorgi 21

Budget flow At the end of 2010 an initial sum of 19 MEuros has been allocated A sum of 50 M€ has been reserved for 2011 budget Money is ready to flow as soon as the Nicola Cabibbo Laboratory is established. Readjustments likely to happen to reflect the spent-profile

The Tor Vergata site proposal Autonomous interest from a wide community of the University ( not only physicists) Feasibility evaluation perfomed for –Space –Electricity –Water –Permits

Site requirements OK –Extension of the order of square meters –2X150 Kilovolt electric supplies nearby –Water supply adequate and the possibility of additional supply from a number of pits –Vibration measurements: the good surprise –Site archaeology free

SuperB Site LNF About 4.5 Km Tor Vergata University campus

Official steps On May 24 a presentation to the academic community A letter from the Rector on May 28 making the site available The decision to move with this solution was taken by the May 29 INFN Board of Directors The site has been decided

Cabibbo Lab structure Guy Wormser Nagoya University July

SuperB Governance Three phases –INFN: the past and present starting phase –Consortium: as soon as possible (less than a year) as an independent legal entity Following main European infrastructures More flexibility in the organisation Can directly associate foreign partners (EGO like) An “intermediate solution” –European consortium (ERIC): the final structure

Governance A Cern like organisation –A director general and a directorate Departments under director’s supervision –A scientific evaluation committee Science Machine –A finance evaluation committee A known and working scheme

Crab waist for pedestrians In order to get very high lumi, need transverse beam size of nanometer scale To benefit from this, need effective sigma_z very small Extremely hard to do by conventionnal techniques Use long sigma-z at large angle This create vey large indesirable beam-beam effects Get rid of the beam-beam effects by pre- distorsion of the beams!!! Guy Wormser La Thuile Workshop March

Crab waist crossing, a superb idea by P. Raimondi (LNF)

Crab Waist Works: First Experimental Evidence Crab Sextupoles on all the time since the first time we tested them A luminosity of **32 was achievd in DAPHNE, 3 times higher than before, and in good agreement with simulations!

SuperB detector will be built by a « classical » international collaboration The detector will reuse BABAR components and will cost an extra 50 M€ INFN will cover on its own budget around 50% of this cost ~25 M€ will therefore have to be found from international partners. Presently participation of : Italy, Canada, France, Germany, Poland, Russia, Spain, UK, US Guy Wormser INSTR08 conference February

News from the detector ( Guy Wormser La Thuile Workshop March

Formal formation of the collaboration The process to form the detector collaboration has started in June 2011 –First meeting of the protocollaboration board –Setting up of the governance committee Process mostly completed by the end of the year No problem to join now or later Guy Wormser La Thuile Workshop March

Conclusions SuperB project has been approved by the Italian Government! A major project in Europe at the national scale, the first one in particle physics since HERA in the 80s! The site has been officially selected. The construction preparatory work has started The consortium “Nicola Cabibbo Laboratory” is being formed to manage the SuperB project A very ambitious and innovative machine, state-of-the art detector, and an aggressive planning First beams expected in 2016 Come and join to take part in this very exciting endeavour! 43
