1. CKM WS 2003 at Durham 1 Report on HFAG Y.Sakai (KEK) for HFAG

2. CKM WS 2003 at Durham 2 (General) Inherit activities of LEP HF Working group Role provide Averages for Conferences (up-to-date, including preliminary, often) PDG (published results) with “Consistent manner” (mentioned later) History - discussions at 1st CKM workshop (Feb-2002, CERN) - discussions at FPCP (May-2002, Philadelphia)  new HFAG (for ICHEP02, averages were provided with existing WGs) - Nov-2002: new HFAG started restructuring for Winter conference updates

3. CKM WS 2003 at Durham 3 (General 2) First averages from new HFAG for 2003 winter conferences Averages for PDG2003 (end March) B lifetimes,  md, semi-leptonic Br, sin2  …, rare-decay Br/Acp Web page : please surf http://www.slac.stanford.edu/xorg/hfag/ [ http://belle.kek.jp/mirror/hfag/ (KEK mirror) ] Hope they serve as basis of discussions of WS

4. CKM WS 2003 at Durham 4 Organization Chairs : Daivid Kikby (BaBar) and Yoshi Sakai (Belle) HFAG members: contacts from BaBar,Belle,LEP,CLEO,CDF,D0,PDG Subgroups leader - B-lifetimes/Oscillations : O.Schneider (Belle) - Semi-leptonic (V cb,V ub ) : U.Langenegger (BaBar) - Rare- decay Br/Asymmetry : P.Chang (Belle) - UT-angles : A.Hoecker (BaBar) New !

5. CKM WS 2003 at Durham 5 Philosophy  use common input 'physics parameters' ex)  m d  B 0 lifetime  re-scale each result  take into account correlated systematic errors in av. 'physics parameter' uncertainty  sign of systematic error  use common method to extract 'physics parameter' ex) semi-leptonic Br  Vcb  follow PDG method for established averages (Br etc.) (updated averages) determine the Best Averages

6. CKM WS 2003 at Durham 6 Tools COMBOS (COMBine B OScillation results) - originally developed for oscillation average -  2 fit taking into account statistical uncertainties, correlated/uncorrelated sys. errors - extended to other averages  ex) Vcb try to use for other averages (UT-angles) [also, other utilities/programs are used]

CKM WS 2003 at Durham 11 Smileptonic Vcb and Vub working groups: merged Determine the best average values : semileptonic B decay branching ratios F(1)|Vcb|, |Vcb|, and |Vub| (Incl/Exclusive) Use a consistent approach (currently): - Consistent approaches in all the experiments based on the latest theoretical etc. developments - Checking consistency of results between the expts, - Evaluating the systematics common to all the expts, - Comparing the results of the different methods Trying to understand their theoretical errors How to control/minimize them [in discussion with theorists] This Workshop !

The most stringent limit will be used for upper limits. 4. All central values will be used for the averages for decay channels observed by at least one experiment.
