Feb 18, 2005 Kowalewski - FNAL seminar 11 Why we study SL decays |V ub | and |V cb | are crucial in testing CKM unitarity and SM mechanism for CP violation Presence of a single hadronic current allows control of theoretical uncertainties  precise determinations of |V ub | and |V cb | SL decays also provide a laboratory for probing our ability to calculate hadronic quantities in the presence of a mix of scales in QCD

Feb 18, 2005 Kowalewski - FNAL seminar 12 Inclusive Decays – the Big Picture

Feb 18, 2005 Kowalewski - FNAL seminar 13 Understanding inclusive SL decays The Operator Product Expansion provides a systematic method of separating perturbative from non-perturbative scales OPE + Heavy Quark symmetry [1]  HQE Heavy Quark Expansion now calculated to α s 2, m B -3 Essentially all we need to know for b  cℓ ν Coefficients of operators calculated perturbatively (EW and QCD); non-perturbative physics enters through matrix elements of operators [1] soft gluons cannot probe heavy quark properties

Feb 18, 2005 Kowalewski - FNAL seminar 14 Semileptonic B Decays & HQE contains b- and c-quark masses, m b and m c   2 related to kinetic energy of b-quark  G 2 related to chromomagnetic operator: B / B * mass splitting Darwin term ( ρ D 3 ) and spin-orbit interaction ( ρ LS 3 ) enter at 1/m b 3  = scale which separates effects from long- and short-distance dynamics r = m c /m b ; z 0 (r), d(r): phase space factors; A EW = EW corrections; A pert = pert. corrections (  s j,  s k  0 ) No 1/m b term! Several HQE schemes exist; op’s and coeff’s are scheme dependent free-quark rate

Feb 18, 2005 Kowalewski - FNAL seminar 15 Inclusive b  cℓ ν Measure electron momentum spectrum and mass of hadronic system in SL decay Determine moments to allow comparison with parton- level calculations (duality assumed) Calculations exist for the following: Fit for HQE parameters and |V cb | Mass of hadronic system Lepton energy spectrum

Feb 18, 2005 Kowalewski - FNAL seminar 25 Inclusive |V cb | status BaBar result compared with previous measurements: Agrees with value coming from exclusive B  D * ℓ ν decays (from HFAG):

Feb 18, 2005 Kowalewski - FNAL seminar 26 Inclusive b  u Limiting factor in CKM precision tests; known much less well than |V cb | CKM suppressed – therefore harder to measure Challenge for experiment and theory Overview of theory uncertainties Overview of measurements Prospects

Feb 18, 2005 Kowalewski - FNAL seminar 27 Starting point: HQE Just like b  cℓ ν …, and with similar accuracy …until limited expt’l acceptance is considered Poor convergence of OPE in region where b  cℓ ν decays are kinematically forbidden Non-perturbative Shape Function must be used to calculate partial rates  = scale which separates effects from long- and short-distance dynamics A EW = EW corrections; A pert = pert. corrections (  s j,  s k  0 )

Feb 18, 2005 Kowalewski - FNAL seminar 28 Shape Function – what is it? light-cone momentum distribution of b quark: F(k + ) Property of a B meson; universal...but new “sub- leading” SFs arise at each order in 1/m b Consequences: changes effective m b, smears spectra Rough features (mean Λ, r.m.s. λ 1 ) are known Detailed shape, and especially the low tail, are not constrained

Feb 18, 2005 Kowalewski - FNAL seminar 29 Measuring the Shape Function SF can’t be calculated: measure it! Photon energy distribution in b  s γ probes b quark directly; same is in b  uℓ ν to O(1/m b ) It’s a hard measurement… SF moments are related to HQE parameters: Bosch-Lange-Neubert-Paz, hep-ph/ ; Benson-Bigi-Uraltsev, hep-ph/ Further constrains SF models NEW! Belle 3 models tried 1 st and 2 nd moment of SF determined

Feb 18, 2005 Kowalewski - FNAL seminar 30 Theory input for |V ub | At present, all |V ub | measurements based on inclusive SL decays use fully differential SL rate calculated to O(α S, m b -2 ) (DeFazio and Neubert, JHEP 06:017 (1999)) Input required includes values for the mean and r.m.s. of the Shape Function. In what follows we use as input the parameters determined by a fit (hep-ex/ ) to the Belle b  s γ spectrum: Λ = 0.66 GeV, λ 1 = GeV 2 + associated covariance; δ Λ ~ δm b ≈ 80 MeV

Feb 18, 2005 Kowalewski - FNAL seminar 31 Experimental approaches q 2 (GeV^2) E e (GeV)m X (GeV) Must suppress b  cℓ ν ; rate is 50x higher than signal Kinematic variables: E e, q 2 = (p e +p ν ) 2 and m X u E e easy, q 2 more difficult, m X u hardest b  c allowed

Feb 18, 2005 Kowalewski - FNAL seminar 32 Electron Endpoint 80 fb -1 on  (4S) resonance Select e ± in 2.0 < E ℓ < 2.6 GeV Larger signal acceptance  smaller theoretical error Accurate model of background is crucial (S/N ~ 1/14) Data taken below the  4S) resonance determine the light-flavor background Fit E e spectrum with b → uℓv, B → Dℓv, B → D * ℓv, B → D ** ℓv … Entries >2.2 GeV put in 1 bin to reduce signal model dependence Fully correct spectrum for efficiency, resolution, radiation, etc. Data (eff. corrected) MC Data (continuum sub) MC for BB background B A B AR hep-ex/ PRELIMINARY

Feb 18, 2005 Kowalewski - FNAL seminar 40 Unfolding the m x distribution The shape of the m x distribution in b  uℓ ν decays carries information about SF parameters (b  uW akin to b  s γ ) Moments can also be used to test OPE, as in b  cℓ ν Unfolding accounts for resolution, uncertainties in theory input… Measured moments: M 2 ’ = 2 nd central moment M 0 (GeV)Value M1M ± GeV M2’M2’ ± GeV 2 M1M ± GeV M2’M2’ ± GeV 2

Feb 18, 2005 Kowalewski - FNAL seminar 43 What to look for in future Improved precision of |V ub | requires re-evaluation of theoretical uncertainties Precision on SF parameters Λ and λ 1 will improve, due to better b  s γ spectra and the use of OPE parameters determined in b  cℓ ν transitions Power (1/m b ) corrections differ between b → uℓv and b → s  Quantitative estimates have appeared in literature Weak annihilation may have a large (20%?) effect at high q 2 Difference between B 0 and B + needs to be measured Expect |V ub | averages to approach 5% uncertainty soon

Feb 18, 2005 Kowalewski - FNAL seminar 44 Exclusive B  X c ℓ ν decays Measure |V cb | using a completely independent theoretical framework from that of inclusive decays Test HQET Reduce background uncertainty for other measurements, notably |V ub |

Feb 18, 2005 Kowalewski - FNAL seminar 45 B  D * ℓ ν BF and |V cb | Heavy Quark Effective Theory gives us a framework for understanding B  X c ℓ ν transitions: FF for decay depends only on q 2 : universal Isgur-Wise f n FF unknown, but normalization is unity in heavy quark limit (m b =m c =∞) at “zero-recoil” point: Can be used with both B  D * ℓ ν and B  Dℓ ν decays bc e ν beforeafter Light d.o.f. unchanged!

Feb 18, 2005 Kowalewski - FNAL seminar 46 What we measure B  D * ℓv decay rate is given by F(1) = 1 in the heavy-quark limit; Lattice calculation gives Form of F(w) unknown Parameterized with  2 (slope at w = 1) and ratios R 1 and R 2 of FFs that are ~ independent of w Use R 1 and R 2 determined by CLEO, PRL 76 (1996) 3898 Measure d  /dw to fit F(1)|V cb | and  2 phase space form factor D * boost in the B rest frame Hashimoto et al, PRD 66 (2002)
