David Hitlin Heavy Flavor Physics DPF July 29, Heavy Flavor Physics – past, present, future avor physics provides the experimental foundation of much of the Standard Model  Flavor physics provides the experimental foundation of much of the Standard Model  Heavy flavor physics plays an important role, in that it furnishes many parameters that can be  determined experimentally with precision  compared with reliable theoretical predictions  As such, heavy flavor physics has served to  establish the Standard Model:  the particle content  the weak couplings  the suppression of flavor-changing neutral currents, …… and and  constrain what lies beyond the Standard Model  When new physics is found at the LHC  Flavor physics will provide unique information on the nature of the new physics  This talk will highlight selected topics, emphasizing what we know and what we don’t, and discuss what can be learned in the new generation of flavor physics experiments

David Hitlin Heavy Flavor Physics DPF July 29, Tests of the Standard Model Flavor Sector  Unitarity triangle tests  These primarily involve measurements in the B system, but require measurements of the m t, Cabibbo angle,  K and theoretical inputs – CP -conserving and violating  A closer look reveals some issues and potential inconsistencies  Fitted, i.e., SM-predicted value of sin 2  vs directly measured value using tree decays and loop decays  Direct CP violation in K +  - vs K +  0 decays  B (B→  ) conflict  B s → ψ ϕ phase Each of these is a ~2.5  issue : ????  Each of these is a ~2.5  issue : ????  There are also further tests and sensitive searches possible  Three generation unitarity  Does the unitarity triangle close ?  Are there extra mixing phases ?  Are there extra CP -violating phases ?

David Hitlin Heavy Flavor Physics DPF July 29, Can we learn more ?  Unitarity triangle tests  These primarily involve measurements in the B system (both CP -conserving and violating), but require measurements of the Cabibbo angle,  K and theoretical inputs 1. Does the agreement of the overconstrained tests stand up to detailed scrutiny ? 2. Can the UT tests be improved with better theoretical calculations and/or improved experiments ? 3. Is there any room for new physics ?  There are a few issues  Overconstrained tests of three generation unitarity  Does the unitarity triangle close ?  Are there extra mixing phases ?  Are there extra CP-violating phases ?

David Hitlin Heavy Flavor Physics DPF July 29, Does the agreement of the overconstrained tests stand up to detailed scrutiny ?  There is actually some tension, and enough constraints to explore these issues  Inclusive and exclusive V ub determinations are not in good agreement  There are also issues with inclusive/exclusive V cb  The B (B→  ) conflict  The agreement of the fitted, i.e., SM-predicted value of sin 2  vs the directly measured value using tree decays and loop decays is not perfect  The B s → ψ ϕ phase  The K  problem

David Hitlin Heavy Flavor Physics DPF July 29, CPV Probes of New Physics  In the Standard Model we expect the same value for “sin2  ” in modes, but different SUSY models can produce different asymmetries  Since the penguin modes have branching fractions one or two orders of magnitude less than tree modes, a great deal of luminosity is required to make these measurements to meaningful precision ~ b u,c,t s b d,s,b s W - H -  - g,  0 ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

David Hitlin Heavy Flavor Physics DPF July 29, The K  problem  The four B→K  decays provide four branching fraction measurements, four direct CP asymmetries and one mixing-induced CP asymmetry ( B 0 →K 0  0 )  The decay amplitudes are related by isospin  The amplitudes can be written in terms of tree and penguin Standard Model amplitudes  A SM sum rule (Gronau-Rosner) relates the asymmetries  Consistent with the SM at the 20% level  New Physics: NP in P NP e i  p  A(K 0   ) = NP in P C EW,NP e i  EW  A(K 0   ) = G.
