  1. σ|Vub|at a Super Flavor Factory Benoit VIAUD LAL, CNRS-In2p3 B. VIAUD,VIth infn B-physics mting , Ferrara

  2. Super Flavor Factory • Generically: similar to BaBar/Belle, with L  100 = 75 ab-1 • I focus in this talk on the Italian project: SuperB. • Crab waists and Large Piwinski angle to reach L=1036cm-2s-1 •  =0.28 instead of 0.56. • Smaller boost (better hermeticity) and improved vertex detector New Layer 0 at 1.2 cm from the beam) : improved neutrino and background rejection. • Start ~ in 2015: theory should be improved by then.

  3. Error on |Vub| @ SuperB ?? • Today: |Vub| is no longer dominated by stat. • SuperB (75ab-1): stat does not count anymore. • Predicting what can be achieved at a Super Flavor Factory means predicting how the systematic and theoretical uncertainties will be reduced. • Single reliable way: Full MC studies -> not yet possible. • Single available way: Educated guesses (science fiction ?) • So many experimental and theoretical analyses that it is very hard to consider them all. • => Choose a few (promising) ones and extrapolate.

  5. Inclusive |Vub| • Total decay rate precisely known • OPE+HQE, expansion in (1/mb)k and (s)k •  dominated by 2.5mb/mb : ~3% • Not used up to now • ulv/ clv ~ 1/50 : harsh cuts necessary • OPE convergence spoiled in restricted part of the phase space • Must deal with the Fermi motion of the b inside the B B.

  9. Many Experimental Approaches Untagged Semileptonic tag Hadronic tag oFirst find a Btag, then look for B->Xulv in its recoil: - Only one Xu-l pair in the rest of event - No other tracks, small residual energy o tag side: B->D(*)+(π±,K±), full reco. (many modes) o Well defined event: full kinematics, charge, flavor. o Only one neutrino : precise reco of m2miss ,miss ,q2, MX, P+ o tag side: B->D(*)lν o tag-B kinematics incomplete: 2 ν High signal statistics, More sensitive to Background simulation CleanSample, Better systematics + Purity + Efficiency B.

  34. Conclusion • Stat. uncertainty on |Vub|th will be marginal at a Super Flavor Factory • To reach |Vub|~ few percents: big effort to reduce the systematic and theoretical uncertainties. • Systematic uncertainties will benefit from the large data sample: • Hadronic tag methods not statistically limited any longer • Control Samples to reduce detector effects • Better knowledge of the B->Xc l v backgrounds • Theoretical uncertainties • Inclusive: Need to improve mb (~20MeV ?) • Exclusive: Large improvement of the computing power should help LQCD |Vub|~3 % (incl.) and |Vub|th ~4% (excl.) seems possible !

Most improved points: High / Low z Improved Continuum Improved B->Xul v background) Unitarity: Should obtain a very precise determination of the FF’s shape with a fit to the ΔB(q2) measurements, helped by theoretical constraints (like unitarity). In that case, LCSR and LQCD have to provide only the normalization f+(0). Even closer with the full dataset… B. VIAUD,VIth infn B-physics mting , Ferrara
