Tevatron Only machine currently at both the Energy and Luminosity Frontiers Complementary to other machines at each frontier –Large B s data set compared to B factories –Different channels compared to LHC qqbar WH l bb vrs gg H Weak sector (charginos, neutralinos) vrs strong sector (squarks, gluinos) Interference effects (top A fb ) vrs resonance search (G A ) Will be superseded by LHC and super B factories but expect to be relevant for a few more years –Still have a lot to analyze with the 2011 data. 2/28 1/11/11 B.

15
Measurement history at Dzero 1992: first internal note outlining measurement 1994: 7.3 pb -1 : A = (81-96)/(81+96) 1996: significant asymmetries observed due to asymmetries in range-out. –From then on, Dzero switches polarity every few weeks to enable this measurement 2003: analysis of ~100 pb -1 RunII data indicates we are competitive. Begin planning for a 1 fb -1 result. –Dimuon result. Single muon result ruled out because completely dominated by Kaon asymmetry 1/11/11 15/28 B. Casey, SEL11 Iron toroid + -
16
Measurement history at Dzero 1 fb-1 result: –A SL = -(0.92 ± 0.44 ± 0.32)% –World leading measurement –Dominant error is now Kaon asymmetry determined using D* D , D K , K X Raw asymmetry A = -(0.05± 0.13)% Kaon asymmetry A K = -(0.23 ± 0.08)% 1/11/11 16/28 B. Casey, SEL11
17
2010 Update Need a way to constrain the Kaon asymmetry Two samples: –Like-sign dimuon system = physics + Kaon –Single muon system: asymmetry is almost entirely from the Kaons Use the single muon system to make a high statistics measurement of the kaon asymmetry and subtract it from the dimuon asymmetry 1/11/11 17/28 B. Casey, SEL11
18
Dimuon results A SL = (0.957±0.251±0.146)% Systematic error dominated by Kaon asymmetry –In dimuon analysis: 2.1% –In combined single and dimuon analysis: 0.15% Verified the B content by measuring the mixing probability in the first fb -1 data set –X = 0.136±0.001±0.024 –PDG: 0.1281± 0.0076 1/11/11 18/28 B.

19 B s →J/ : Kaon type CPV Pseudo scalar →Vector + Vector. Both even and odd states contribute. Angular analysis tells if its even or odd. Lifetime measurement tells if its long or short Look for even states decaying with a longer lifetime ⇛ CPV ≈ 10% Short Long B s (even) B s (odd)

Future 1/11/11 22/28 B. Casey, SEL11 A. Schopper, CERN Council Report, Dec. 17 2010
23
23 Future The large anomalous CPV in B s mixing reported at the Tevatron + minimal flavor violation predicts EDMs are “around the corner!” –Gino Isidori, ICHEP 2010 plenary talk Need lepton and quark EDM searches to distinguish new weak interaction from a small QCD Need different leptons to determine if the new phase is universal New g-2 experiment: muon EDM below 10 -21 e-cm Nuclear EDMs can be probed at Project X wit copious production of high-Z nuclei to perform EDM measurements far beyond limits from Hg Large B s CPV shrinks available parameter space Titanium neutron Mercury 10 -25 10 -30 Buras, Isidori, Paradisi arXiv:1007.5291 B s CPV
24
Conclusions Beauty at the Tevatron has been beautiful (even in a somewhat ugly environment.) Next round of updates should still be interesting and competitive. Then its LHCb’s turn. In any case, the Tevatron has clearly demonstrated the advantages of having a luminosity frontier program at an energy frontier machine. 1/11/11 24/28 B. Casey, SEL11
