  1. Rare Hadronic B Decays • John Fry • Lepton Photon 2003

  2. Scope of Talk • To present updated branching fractions (BF) and CP asymmetries (ACP) for rare (charmless) B decay modes • To show how BF and ACP are used with theoretical models to put constraints on the Standard Model and to search for New Physics. NB: All results are preliminary unless referenced. John Fry Lepton Photon 2003

  3. How Good is the Standard Model? • LEP • Coupling Constants • CPLEAR • T consistent with CP • Tight CPT constraint K [K] and B sectors [md, Vub , Vtd , Sin (2)] consistent with each other and SM (theory) A. Höcker et al, Eur. Phys. Jour. C21 (2001) 225, [hep-ph/0104062] John Fry Lepton Photon 2003

  4. Motivation for Rare Decays • SM is a very good approximation to reality Hence • Need to consider processes where is small in order to be sensitive to new physics. • Hence processes dominated by penguin loops, or CKM- suppressed decays John Fry Lepton Photon 2003

  5. Procedure • Compare nature (precise, experimental measurements) with SM (theoretical models) for sensitive quantities. • Agreement gives an alternative route to (, ) and additional constraints on the unitarity triangle. • Disagreement means: • New Physics …. OR • Refinements needed to theoretical calculations … ….AND Model-independent calculations needed John Fry Lepton Photon 2003

  6. M1 B M2 The (theoretical) Problem How to go from here … to branching fractions and CP asymmetry John Fry Lepton Photon 2003

  7. Classes of theoretical calculations • QCD Factorisation (mb >> QCD) Amps factorise to LO (/ mb), all orders S Naïve factorisation recovered in LO • Phenomenology Amplitudes of dominant processes related to measured BF and each other via SU(3) • Model “Independent” Isospin & minimal dynamical assumptions  bounds on deviations from SM Beneke, Buchalla, Neubert & Sachrajda Nucl Phys B606 (2001) 245 Beneka & Neubert Hep-ph / 0308039 Chiang, Rosner Phys Rev D65 074035 Chiang et al Hep-ph / 0307395 Lipkin Phys Lett B254 (1991) 247 Grossman, Ligeti, Nir, Quinn Hep-ph / 0303171 John Fry Lepton Photon 2003

Rev D63, 014003 (2000) • Could modify branching fractions and CP asymmetries in pp and Kp decays, complicating extraction of a and g • KK decays are more sensitive to rescattering • Could have significant enhancement through (for example) DD or pp intermediate states John Fry Lepton Photon 2003

  50. How does theory stack up? • Good phenomenological understanding of Branching Fractions for 2-body PP and PV decays [Chiang et al hep-ph/0307395; Beneke et al hep-ph/0308039; Keum et al hep-ph/0306004] • Factorisation models give insight into dynamics, but: • BF for 0 0 looks to be in disagreement with all predictions • BF for K, ' K,  K* final states underestimated in QCDF [Annihilation contribution may be too large Aleksan et al, hep-ph/0301165] • Asymmetry data is not yet precise enough to test models • There is still a considerable role for model-independent theoretical calculations John Fry Lepton Photon 2003
