3 DIS 2004 Mousumi Datta, University of Wisconsin-Madison SM and Rare B Decays .  Good agreement between Standard Model (SM) and the experimental results up to now.   To be sensitive to possible new physics (NP) and to test SM  consider decays with small SM rates.  Look at :  Processes dominated by penguin loops  CKM suppressed decays  Purely leptonic decays Rare B Decays

4 SM and Rare B Decays (cont’)  New physics particles in loops might show up in: Different rates, kinematic distributuios than SM only Different CP violation than SM only DIS 2004 Mousumi Datta, University of Wisconsin-Madison Constrain the SM  Time dependent CP measurements (L. Li Gioi’s talk)  Direct (time integrated) CP measurement  Decay rates  Compare theoretical predictions  Constrain CKM parameters : |V td /V ts | from B  K* ,   Kinematic distributions :  K *, X s l + l -

5 Direct CP Asymmetry  Different decay rates for B  f and B  f  need 2 decay amplitudes with different weak phase and different strong phase: Weak phase difference Strong phase difference Penguin-dominated decays like B   K (*), K , K*  have small A CP in SM  sensitive to extra CP-violating phases due to NP DIS 2004 Mousumi Datta, University of Wisconsin-Madison

Precise measurements of A CP in future will enable further tests of models.   No strong evidence of NP. Measurements and search for many more rare decay modes continuing   The expected increase in luminosity of the B Factories promises a continuing, rich harvest of physics DIS 2004 Mousumi Datta, University of Wisconsin-Madison Stay tuned for the summer results.
