Sin2b from bs penguins – summary of BaBar results None of the individual results (except perhaps h’KS) has a sizeable discrepancy with SM But penguin average 2.8s away from Charmonium result Note that new physics will generally have different effect on modes – so averaging not necessarily sensible…
sin2 from bs Penguins: World averages BaBar/Belle agree on results. Discrepancy is 3.7s if averaged Caveat: uncertainty due to sub-leading SM contributions are ignored in this view of the discrepancy Theory needs to refine SM prediction for sin(2b) various penguin modes (conversations in progress!) -hf×S (‘sin2b’)=0.43 ± 0.07 C (‘direct CPV’)= -0.021 ± 0.05

Towards The Angle : The phase in Vub Look for B decays with 2 amplitudes with relative weak phase Direct CP Asymmetry Angle
Angle from B±DK±: Critical Requirement Relative size of the 2 B decay amplitudes matters for interference Want rb to be large to get more interference Large CP asymmetry Diff. between rb=0.1 and rb=0.2 substantial for precision on Theory cannot calculate r reliably must measure experimentally Color suppression: Fcs [0.2,0.5] Left side U.T.: Ru 0.4 Expected range
Angle from B±D0 K±: Current Status Even with ~250 fb-1 data in hand for each experiment, reconstructed samples of B±DK± events are too few for a meaningful measurement of the angle (and r, and strong phase ) E.g: Effective Br. Ratio for (B±D0 K±)(D0K+-) 10-7 The exception is the case when B±D0 K± and D0KS+ - , a decay accessible to both D0 and D0.

Good News: Email (Sunday) From BaBar Counting Room Dear colleagues, yesterday afternoon our colleagues from the machine have been able to inject the first electrons into PEP. After only a few hours, they were able to store a 100 mA beam. Positrons are expected within a few days. This means that collisions and physics data taking should resume very soon. This is really great news. Our PEP/Linac colleagues have done an outstanding work taking into account that they restarted the machine 10 days ago. One hopes that BaBar doubles its dataset by mid 2006 and doubles it again by end of 2008 In the future LHC-b not enough, need SuperBFactory
