  4. Precision B Lifetimes Motivation C. Tarantino, hep-ph/0310241 THEORY (NLO) EXPERIMENT • b-hadron decays dominated by b-quark • Light quarks are included with 1/mb perturbative expansions (HQE) • expect small differences between lifetimes of different species • lifetime ratios reduce theory uncertainties J. Piedra

  5. Precision B LifetimesLb Lifetime CDF 370 pb-1 D250 pb-1 PRL 94 102001 (2005) • CDF and D have measured Lb J/L lifetime • Better proper time resolution than LbLc ln(world average dominated) • Earlier t(Lb)/t(B0) predictions were 2s above experiment • new calculations including higher order effects predict lower ratio

  6. Precision B LifetimesLb Lifetime at CDF CDF 370 pb-1 HFAG • Analysis based upon 370 pb-1 • Technique • unbinned maximum likelihood fit to proper decay-length and mass • Lb J/L0194  23 candidates • J/mm • L0 pp - • Use B0 reference mode • larger yield and similar decay topology • B0 Jpsi Ks01225  53 candidates • J/mm • Ks0p +p -

  7. Precision B LifetimesBs Lifetime CDF 360 pb-1 D400 pb-1 • D and CDF measure lifetime in best in the world

  8. Precision B Lifetimes Neutral Meson Mixing • Quark mixing  non-diagonal Hamiltonian for • Diagonalizing the Hamiltonian results in • two eigenstates and • two masses mH and mL, with Dm  mH – mL • two decay widths GH and GL, with DGGL– GH R. Van Kooten Bs decays and B leptonic decays

  9. Precision B LifetimesBs Lifetime Difference • Bs J/ • Pseudoscalar  Vector - Vector • Decay amplitude decomposed into 3 linear polarization states • A0 = S + D wave  P even • A|| = S + D wave  P even • A = P wave  P odd • If CP violation neglected • Bs,Light  CP even • Bs,Heavy  CP odd • angular distributions are different • Angular analysis separates CP eigenstates  measure two lifetimes J. Piedra

  13. B Mixing

  14. B Mixing Theoretical Prediction CKM fit • SM prediction for the ratio of Bs and B0 mixing frequencies • Dmd precisely measured • Dms not yet measured precisely • Potential NP discovery J. Piedra

  15. B Mixing Significance S signal candidates B background candidates sct time resolution • The dilution D measures the purity, D= 0 (1) random (perfect) tagger • The dilution attenuates the observed oscillations

  16. B Mixing Ingredients Opposite Side Trigger Side

  17. B Mixing Reconstructed...................... D1 fb-1 CDF 1 fb-1 • D exploits semileptonic decays from m trigger • CDF uses both electrons and muons

  18. B Mixing Reconstructed..................... • CDF collects hadronic B decays by triggering on impact parameter • Around 3700 Bs signal candidates J. Piedra

  19. B Mixing Proper Decay Time • Procedure • measure pT of Bdaughter tracks • measure the decay length Lxy • boost B back to its rest frame • Fully reconstructed decays • all daughters reconstructed • Partially reconstructed decays • some tracks escape detection  need simulation J. Piedra

  20. B Mixingb-Flavor Tagging • A flavor tagger determines the b-flavor at production time • bb production  flavor tagging on the Trigger Side or the Opposite Side • Soft Lepton Tagger • look for B  lnDX decay on the OS • lepton charge indicates b-flavor • Jet Charge Tagger • look for jet or secondary vertex from OS • jet charge indicates b-flavor • Same Side (Kaon) Tagger • look for a fragmentation track on the TS • it is charge correlated with the b-flavor SLT Trigger Side JQT Opposite Side SS(K)T J.

  24. B Mixing Fourier Analysis frequency domain time domain • Two domains to fit for oscillations • time fit for a cosine wave • frequency examine f-spectrum • Time domain approach • fit for Dms in P(t) ~ 1Dcos(Dmst) • Frequency domain approach • introduce amplitude, P(t) ~ 1ADcos(Dmst) • fit for A at different Dms  obtain frequency spectrum A(Dms) • standard method for combining limits • with flavor taggers calibrated A = 1 for the true Dms else A = 0
