The Relevance of Flavour Physics in the LHC Era David Hitlin Workshop on Flavour in the Era of the LHC CERN November 10, 2005

David Hitlin Flavour in the Era of the LHC CERN November 10, 2005 2 “ The aim of physics is to find new terms in the Hamiltonian of the universe. Everything else is chemistry.” M. Schwartz By this stringent yardstick, most of us, while we strive to do physics, wind up doing chemistry Nonetheless, flavour physics has historically been a rich source of physics, even by Mel’s criterion Does flavour physics in the LHC era meet this rigorous criterion? What are the crucial experiments in the search for new terms in the flavour Hamiltonian (New Physics)?

David Hitlin Flavour in the Era of the LHC CERN November 10, 2005 3 Where is flavour physics now? The PEP-II/B A B AR and KEKB/Belle B Factories, together with CLEO c and modern K decay experiments, have brought us to the precision measurement regime for many heavy quark and heavy lepton measurements CDF and DØ at Tevatron Run II are now producing physics and have unique capabilities in B s mixing, rare decays and b baryon studies Bottom line: the CKM phase is consistent with being the source for all observed CP -violating phenomena There must, however, be additional sources of CP violation Over the next few years, CP violation and rare decays in the flavour sector will be pursued with improved precision, and, equally important, with improved sophistication e.g., the best current methods for measurement of ( 2 ) and ( 1 ) were not those put forward in the initial phase

15
David Hitlin Flavour in the Era of the LHC CERN November 10, 2005 15 Constraints on New Physics Even at current precision, the grosso modo agreement of flavour physics experimental results with Standard Model predictions places very meaningful limits on physics beyond the Standard Model In the presence of New Physics, many of these simple relations can be modified This has spawned a minor phenomenological industry that has provided guidance for the current experiments and a roadmap for future investigations Where to look for New Physics? FCNC processes b → s vertices: F =1, F =2 CP violation, mixing, rare b and decays Precision measurements in K, D and B decays
16
David Hitlin Flavour in the Era of the LHC CERN November 10, 2005 16 The LHC era begins What will remain to be done in flavour physics when the current programs at B A B AR, Belle, CDF and DØ are over? Overconstrained tests of the CKM matrix to the level of precision warrented by theoretical uncertainties Searches, and, quite likely, measurements of deviations from the Standard Model that will be crucial to an understanding of New Physics uncovered at the LHC What facilities will we have? LHC: ATLAS, CMS, LHC b Linear collider (ILC/CLIC)? A Super B Factory? Rare kaon experiments? /charm collider Fixed target charm experiment? Which facilities beyond the LHC are most crucial to flavour studies?

18
David Hitlin Flavour in the Era of the LHC CERN November 10, 2005 18 Data samples ( b ) at the start* of the LHC era B A B AR and Belle will each have collected a total data sample of approximately 1 ab -1 by ~2008 2 ab -1 = 2 x 10 9 produced pairs The Tevatron Run II experiments CDF and DØ will each have collected 4-8 fb -1 by ~2009 Premier objective is a measurement of mixing
19
David Hitlin Flavour in the Era of the LHC CERN November 10, 2005 19 How can flavour physics complement the LHC program? The Higgs will likely come first The search for evidence of physics beyond the Standard Model will then take center stage There have been many exercises showing how, with sufficiently large data samples and concomitant improved precision, heavy quark and measurements can uniquely discriminate between SUSY breaking models, extra dimension scenarios, etc. These need sharpening, on both sides: high p t and flavour physics It is possible that the LHC will find the Standard Model Higgs and nothing else In this situation, precision flavour physics may be the best way we have to search for physics beyond the Standard Model

23
David Hitlin Flavour in the Era of the LHC CERN November 10, 2005 23 What is the ultimate possible UT precision? Theoretical limits (continuum methods) Many measurements will not be theory-limited for quite some time Ligeti:
24
David Hitlin Flavour in the Era of the LHC CERN November 10, 2005 24 Ultimate UT precision - II Okamoto “Ultimate” precision Current precision Unitarity triangle using unquenched lattice results
25
David Hitlin Flavour in the Era of the LHC CERN November 10, 2005 25 Ultimate UT precision - III // // // // // // Prediction for SuperKEKB at 50 ab -1 (~2020) LHCb measurements will also be pertinent (or, they may be the only measurements) Rare K decay constraints
26
David Hitlin Flavour in the Era of the LHC CERN November 10, 2005 26 The real motivation for precision measurements of rare K decay branching fractions is the sensitivity to New Physics The same is true for high precision B and decay studies
27
David Hitlin Flavour in the Era of the LHC CERN November 10, 2005 27 LHC, by the mass difference and threshold methods, will measure SUSY masses to a precision of 5 to 10 GeV ILC or CLIC, a decade later, will dramatically improve errors, by, e.g., measuring slepton masses with a threshold scan to a precision ~100 MeV with 10 fb-1 per point In the meantime it is important to clarify the flavour structure of New Physics discoveries with high statistics K, B and experiments These studies can uniquely discriminate between SUSY models After the LHC finds New Physics Correlations allow model discrimination (without ILC)

Only in RH currents? Chirality flipping? NMFV F=1,2 correlations? SM MFV Deviation from SM? Perez No Yes Standard Model flavour structure: No right-handed couplings One CP-violating phase Small quark mixing Flavour physics already strongly restricts SUSY K physics Hg EDM B physics
33
David Hitlin Flavour in the Era of the LHC CERN November 10, 2005 33 What can a Super B Factory bring to the party? Flavour physics, whether b, c or decays, provides Sensitivity to New Physics (SUSY, extra dimensions, ……) New CP phases, non-Standard Wilson coefficients, …… Strong and unique constraints on models of SUSY breaking ( b s ) has already ruled out a host of New Physics models Super B specific measurements CPV in b s FCNC (K, K …...)

34
David Hitlin Flavour in the Era of the LHC CERN November 10, 2005 34 Probes of new physics In the Standard Model we expect the same value for “sin2 ” in “ modes, but different SUSY models can produce different asymmetries Since the penguin modes have branching fractions one or two orders of magnitude less than tree modes, great deal of luminosity is required to make these measurements to meaningful precision In general S J/ K s S K s ; C J/ K s C K s

63
David Hitlin Flavour in the Era of the LHC CERN November 10, 2005 63 Conclusions Heavy flavour physics, in all its guises, can play a significant role in deepening our understanding of the Standard Model, and, should New Physics be found at LHC, it provides unique tools for probing the flavour structure of the new particles (squarks?) If the scale of New Physics is < 1 TeV, as motivated by our current understanding of the Higgs mechanism, there will be measurable effects in the heavy quark/heavy lepton sector LHC will yield information on masses and couplings of new particles by direct production Information on squark off-diagonal couplings requires detailed studies of heavy quark decays at Super B Factories or dedicated hadronic experiments The effects of new physics loops can be seen in rare decay branching fractions and kinematic distributions and in CP -violating asymmetries in channels with very small branching fractions
64
David Hitlin Flavour in the Era of the LHC CERN November 10, 2005 64 Conclusions - II The new generation of experiments at hadronic accelerators will doubtless extend the fruitful programs of the current B Factories It is important that other approaches be followed as well: A Super B Factory can, in the next decade, provide unique high precision measurements as well as results complementary to those of hadronic experiments Rare K decay experiments Searches for lepton flavor violation Flavour physics has a glorious history and remains relevant as a tool for understanding New Physics at the LHC This timely series of workshops can sharpen our understanding of what is needed at LHC and at other facilities to deeply probe the structure of New Physics, in particular the flavour structure
