Super Flavor Factory Generically: similar to BaBar/Belle, with L 100 = 75 ab-1 I focus in this talk on the Italian project: SuperB. Crab waists and Large Piwinski angle to reach L=1036cm-2s-1 =0.28 instead of 0.56. Smaller boost (better hermeticity) and improved vertex detector New Layer 0 at 1.2 cm from the beam) : improved neutrino and background rejection. Start ~ in 2015: theory should be improved by then.

Error on SuperB ?? Today: |Vub| is no longer dominated by stat. SuperB (75ab-1): stat does not count anymore. Predicting what can be achieved at a Super Flavor Factory means predicting how the systematic and theoretical uncertainties will be reduced. Single reliable way: Full MC studies -> not yet possible. Single available way: Educated guesses (science fiction ?) So many experimental and theoretical analyses that it is very hard to consider them all. => Choose a few (promising) ones and extrapolate.

Conclusion Stat. uncertainty on |Vub|th will be marginal at a Super Flavor Factory To reach |Vub| ~ few percents: big effort to reduce the systematic and theoretical uncertainties. Systematic uncertainties will benefit from the large data sample: Hadronic tag methods not statistically limited any longer Control Samples to reduce detector effects Better knowledge of the B->Xc l v backgrounds Theoretical uncertainties Inclusive: Need to improve mb (~20MeV ?) Exclusive: Large improvement of the computing power should help LQCD |Vub|~3 % (incl.) and |Vub|th ~4% (excl.) seems possible ! March 19th 2009 B. VIAUD,VIth infn B-physics mting , Ferrara
