Exp. Systematic Errors

Exp. Systematic Errors. Most CP measurements use time-dep rate asymmetries a dir,mix = func’s of unitarity angles + 4-quark operators if decay has contrib from >1 CKM amplitude requires tagging flavor of B at production & decay robust to 1 st order in exp. unknowns.

  1. Exp. Systematic Errors Most CP measurements use time-dep rate asymmetries • adir,mix = func’s of unitarity angles • + 4-quark operators if decay has contrib from >1 CKM amplitude • requires tagging flavor of B at production & decay • robust to 1st order in exp. unknowns Understand w/ Control Samples Categories of Syst. Error • Generally, difference in B & B-bar hadrons • Production Asymmetries • Tagging Efficiencies • Mistag Rates • Final State Acceptance • Backgrounds Columbia D0 Snowmass Meeting - H.Evans

  4. Beyond the SM Beyond the SM effects: • Large?: Mixing, Penguins • Small: Tree level decays CP Violation in Decays with & without Mixing • Bd J/Ks sin 2  sin (2 + mix) • Bd Ks sin 2  sin (2 + mix + pen) • K   K(meas) ~ 10-3 • D  K mixing effect (~0 in SM) • EDMs Flavor diagonal CP violation (~0 in SM) Supersymmetric Models • In general  43 CP violating phases (c.f. 1 in SM) • CP violation sensitive to (flavor) & (soft-susy-breaking) • F >> S  No new sources of flavor & CP violation • F < S  Flavor & CP violation beyond CKM Columbia D0 Snowmass Meeting - H.Evans
