Outline Overview: a little history, physics goals, and challenges B + + B 0 0 B 0 and the extraction of |V td /V ts | B K l + l - and B K* l + l - : search for new physics using the lepton forward-backward asymmetry Inclusive B X s branching fraction measurements and extraction of heavy-quark-expansion parameters (including m b ) using the E spectrum Conclusions Apologies for not covering all results on radiative/electroweak penguin decays in this talk!

Radiative penguin decays of B mesons Observation of B K* CLEO II (1993): Loops in B decays! PRL 71, 674 (1993): cited >500 times! Now it’s a physics program! Rare, but not all that rare!
4
Probe SM at 1-loop level (flavor-changing neutral currents) Search for new physics: can affect amplitudes at leading order As for semileptonic decays, the amplitude in EM/EW penguins involves only one hadronic current factorizes. What can we learn from b s, d transitions? (+ W + W - box diagram) (dominated by t quark)
5
Understand QCD dynamics: single hadronic current allows us to isolate non-perturbative parameters in well-defined way. Can be related to same/similar parameters for other decays. Exclusive decays: decay form factors f i (q 2 ). b s transition is similar to b u (heavy-to-light decays) Inclusive decays: parameters of heavy-quark expansion (m b, 2,…); important input for |V ub |, |V cb | extractions. Measure/constrain CKM elements (|V td /V ts |): if info on hadronic parameters is available from data, theory, or both. What can we learn from b s,d transitions?

Inclusive B X s Canonical process for studying b s transition. Theory uncertainties currently at 10% level (NLO); pushing toward 5% (NNLO). Huge theoretical effort to predict branching fraction & photon energy spectrum. Also predictions for CP and I-spin violation. Spectrum is insensitive to new physics but is sensitive to m b and Fermi motion of b-quark (“shape function”). T. Hurth, E. Lunghi, W. Porod, Nucl. Phys. B 704, 56 (2005). M. Misiak and M.

Challenges of measuring inclusive B X s Weak experimental signature: single high-energy photon + event- shape cuts. Huge background from 0 ’s and ’s! Difficult to carry analysis down to E < 2.0 GeV. Want to push toward 5% precision to match the expected precision of NNLO calculations. MethodAdvantagesDisadvantages Fully inclusive Don’t reconstruct X s Closest correspondence to inclusive B(B X s ). Weak kinematic constraints larger background E known in Y(4S) frame, not B frame (smearing). (E MeV Sum-of-exclusive e.g., BABAR: 38 modes! Less background due to additional kinematic constraints (m ES, E). Better E resolution. More model dependence due to finite set of explicitly reconstructed B X s decays.

Studies of radiative/electroweak penguins have moved far beyond B K* . Observation of exclusive b d decays: B ( 0, +, ) Use to extract |V td /V ts |; consistent with value from B s mixing. Precision soon to be limited by theoretical uncertainties. Electroweak penguins decays B K l + l -, B K* l + l -, and B X s l + l - have been measured. First studies of decay distributions have been performed and exclude some non-SM scenarios. More data needed to exploit full potential. Inclusive B X s measurements provide information on m b and non-pert. QCD parameters and help improve precision on |V cb | and |V ub |. Difficult issues with systematic errors, but goal is to achieve 5% uncertainty on branching fraction. We will study radiative/EW penguins for many years to come at BaBar, Belle, and LHC-b!

B Kl + l - and B K*l + l - : the J/ veto The decays B J/ K and B J/ K* are huge backgrounds and must be carefully removed (also B (2S)K, (2S)K*). These backgrounds are restricted in q 2, but there is a tail due to bremsstrahlung in the electron modes. But B J/ K and B J/ K* are valuable control samples; use them to study efficiency of almost any analysis cut.
