4 Effective Neutral Currents and Radiative Penguins
The SM b  s(d)  transition is high order (two weak plus one EM vertex) … Vtb Vt(s,d) so new physics can enter at leading order: + photon off any charged leg (d) (d) (d) Although rare (~ 5x10-4 for s and ~10-5 for d), the isolated high-energy photon is a powerful signature.

5 Effective Neutral Currents: General Motivation b  s
Outline Effective Neutral Currents: General Motivation b  s SUSY parameter space implications Inclusive approach b  d and |Vtd/Vts| Motivation B → (ρ,ω)g (“Standard” Approach) B → Xd (“Semi-Inclusive” Approach) Status of |Vtd/Vts| CP Violation in B00 Conclusions Bruce Schumm 2009 DOE Site Visit

6 B  s and SUSY Parameter Space
C.F. Berger, J.S. Gainer, J.L. Hewett, T.G. Rizzo, “Supersymmetry Without Prejudice”, arXiv: v1 [hep-ph] Explore 107 points over 19-dimensional parameter space of CP-conserving MSSM b  s most effective constraint (72% of models surviving prior constraints are eliminated; better than direct searches for SUSY partners) Bruce Schumm 2009 DOE Site Visit

7 The e+e- Cross Section in the Upsilon Region
The (4S) resonance is the lightest resonance that decays into “open Beauty” ( or ) Off-Peak Data (~10% of Sample) On-Peak Data (4S) resonance is ~1 nb at peak, competing with a “continuum” background of ~3 nb Bruce Schumm 2009 DOE Site Visit

9 Inclusive Measurement of b  s: Introduction
Most exacting approach (“Inclusive”) is aggressive: Use only high-energy  as signature Suppress continuum with event shapes, requirement of a high-energy lepton. Estimate remaining continuum by scaling off-peak data. Challenge: background from 0()   decays (plus some fakes) in B decays qq + ττ BB XSγ Note: Here, might want to go into history (P. Kim) a bit, and motivate fully inclusive approach. Bruce Schumm 2009 DOE Site Visit

10 Inclusive Measurement of b  s: Signal/Background
Sig. Region B/Bbar background control region BB Cont. Signal After event selection, S/B is roughly 1:1 Continuum measured from below-peak running B/Bbar backgrounds must be identified and constrained (e.g. ~1% understanding of CAL response at MeV) Bruce Schumm 2009 DOE Site Visit

13 Two independent diagrams provide sensitivity to CKM parameter Vtd
Measuring |Vtd/Vts| Two independent diagrams provide sensitivity to CKM parameter Vtd (d) B Mixing Vt(s,d) Note: In both cases, hadronic uncertainties minimized by comparing to corresponding Vts process (Bs mixing, b  s)  Observable is | Vtd / Vts | Radiative Penguins Bruce Schumm 2009 DOE Site Visit

14 |Vtd/Vts| from Penguins: Motivation
ICHEP ’08 B Mixing Results [Farrington(CDF), Moulik(D0), averaged by Di Lodovico (BaBar)]: How do penguins fit into the picture? SM effects suppressed by 10-5 relative to mixing Mixing: xd = mB/B ~ 1  mB ~ B Penguins: Br(bd) ~  d ~ 10-5 B With |Vtd/Vts| precisely constrained by mixing, b  d is a compelling testbed for new physics. Bruce Schumm 2009 DOE Site Visit

15 Exclusive Approach: B  () 
Standard (“Exclusive”) Approach: measure exclusive rate Br(B  () ); normalize with Br(B  K* ) (and ) Annihilation Diagram Values of 2 and R are available from Ali, Parkhomenko, arXiv:hep-ph/ Ball, Zwicky, J. High. Energy Phys. 0604, 046 (2006); Ball, Jones, Zwicky, Phys. Rev. D (2007)  8% uncertainty on extraction of |Vtd/Vts|. Bruce Schumm 2009 DOE Site Visit

16 Measurement of B(B  () ) (continued)

Major source of BB background due to high-energy photons from 0()   (67% + 15% = 82% of total BB background according to MC) If high-energy  passes selection, then look for low-energy  and veto event 0, ~50% of the time the low-energy photon is missing.

Define cosh  (E,high - E,low)/ (E,high + E,low) = energy asymmetry Signal selection requirement of E* > 1.8 GeV pushes asymmetry up, and energy of 2nd photon down.  Sensitive to reconstruction efficiency for MeV photons.
