2. October 19, 2006 CHIPP BernAugusto Ceccucci/CERN2 CKM Unitarity and Rare Kaon Decays The unitarity of the CKM matrix can be expressed by triangles in a complex plane. There are six triangles, one is more “triangular”: V ud V ub *+V cd V cb *+V td V tb *=0 It is customary to employ the Wolfenstein parameterization: V us ~ V cb ~   V ub ~   i  V td ~   i  Sensitive to |V td | CP It is important to check that the unitary triangle is the same for all heavy quarks. The s-quark is just as important as the b-quark. If experiment shows that there are differences between the flavors this would be an important discovery.

24. October 19, 2006 CHIPP Bern Augusto Ceccucci/CERN24 Why should CH Participate Outstanding physics opportunity –The importance of rare kaon decays has been recognised by the theoretical community since a long time. If these experiments are not done, we will arguably lack the cleanest test of the SM flavour sector –It is a “no lose situation”. If new particles exists, their effect must appear in loops –No other clean way to study the FCNC d  s transitions –Complementary with LHCb –Cost-effective alternative to Super-F factories With a moderate investment CH could play an essential role –The time scale is well matched to bridge the current round of LHC experiments and the ILC/SLHC construction Small risk –The SPS is here to stay and the CERN proton complex will be consolidated –Projects such as this one add breath to the CERN Physics programme  low strategic/schedule risk –The experiment is feasible with some more R&D  moderate technical risk –The exploitation of existing CERN infrastructure keeps the tag price low  low financial risk
