Physics potential of Super B for heavy quarkonium Fundamental tests of hadronic structure and dynamics: spectroscopy, production and decays of charmonium and bottomonium - Search for/confirmation of new particles and states: mesons, baryons, exotics, gluonium… and determination of their nature (molecular, hybrids, tetraquark…) - Precise determination of widths and branching fractions (beyond the few percent level) Tests of novel nonperturbative and perturbative QCD phenomena, development of effective theories and lattice QCD Precise extraction of SM parameters: αs, masses Search for non-standard particles: from light dark matter (e.g. light neutralinos) to a light CP-odd Higgs boson showing up in heavy quarkonium decays Super B V Paris May 9-11, 2007 Miguel A.

Light Higgs windows at LEP (CPV MSSM) hep-ex/0406057 hep-ex/0406057 Diagram illustrating the effective coupling of a Higgs mass eigenstate H1 to the Z. Only the CP-even admixture h and H couple to Z while the CP-odd A does not: hence the coupling of the H1 is reduced wrt a CPC scenario. hep-ex/0406057 CPX MSSM 95% exclusion areas using scans with different values of arg (At,b).

Miguel A. Sanchis-Lozano IFIC-Valencia Summary Very interesting QCD program to be developed @ Super B: new states, precise measurements, novel phenomena... complementing theoretical developments: effective theories, Lattice QCD... QWG Actions items under preparation What if... There exists a light Higgs-like particle? A high luminosity B factory is the ideal place to discover/study it MERCI Super B V Paris May 9-11, 2007 Miguel A. Sanchis-Lozano IFIC-Valencia
