  8. Belle: Y(5S) Studies Belle Preliminary 23.6 fb-1 Belle Preliminary 23.6 fb-1 • Belle took 23.6 fb-1 at the Y(5S) in 2006 • fs = (18 ± 1.3 ± 3.2) % (earlier results from 1.86fb-1) • [PRL 98 (2007) 052001, PRD 76 (2007) 012002] • New results on inclusive Bs semi-leptonic decays • inclusive spectra not accessible at the Tevatron Combined Result: c.f. the B0 system: d (PDG 2007) (see results on rare Bs decays later...) Mike Hildreth – B-mixing and Lifetimes

  9. Heavy Quark Expansion: Lifetimes evaluation of LQCD/mQ terms requires knowledge of light quark dynamics in the presence of the heavy quark field • HQE: no leading order corrections  1/mQ • General feature of QCD gauge structure • hadronization and bound state effects given in terms of local HQ operators  Same operators used for CKM analyses! • Precise predictions possible: • verification tests calculational validity of HQE, supplies needed input for extraction of CKM parameters Bigi, Shifman, Uraltsev, Vainshtein mesons vs. baryons, (1%) B0 vs. B+ vs. Bs, (3-20%) e.g. Tarantino; Gabbiani, Onishchenko, Petrov e.g. Gabbiani, Onishchenko, Petrov Mike Hildreth – B-mixing and Lifetimes

  10. Lb Lifetime • One of the un-solved mysteries of HF lifetime measurements • long-standing discrepancy between theory and measurement • recent HQE calculation refinements • inclusion of sub-leading spectator terms • inclusion of NLO and 1/mb spectator effects • lowered expected value of • at time of HFAG 2006, theoretical predictions and experimental results agreed within ~1.2s • more accurate results needed for thorough test of theory  Updates of precision Lb lifetime measurements from CDF, DØ C.

  13. LbLcmn Lifetime Measurement (DØ) • main issue: huge background after selection of the Lcm final state Likelihood for signal selection developed from data: B0 DmnX, DKsp Bs DsmnX, DsKsK cut • Global fit uses lifetime pdf to extract Lb lifetime from number of signal events/bin full sample: 4437±329 events B0/B+/BsD+mn, D+Ksp • c2 fit in bins of proper decay length • Nsignal, Nbkg, errors determined from mass fits • mass and width held constant Mike Hildreth – B-mixing and Lifetimes

  15. Lb Lifetime: Summary not in average not in average PDG 2007 PDG 2006 more statistics definitely coming... Mike Hildreth – B-mixing and Lifetimes

  16. B Hadron Mixing • For neutral B Hadrons, Weak  Mass  CP eigenstates • time-dependent evolution • three observables characterize system: • Dm = MH-ML ~ 2|M12| • DGCP = Geven- Godd ~2|G12| • f = arg(G12/M12) f relates mass and CP eigenstates through DGs = GL-GH = DGCPcosfs • Mixing Measurements in Bd and Bs systems  access to CKM elements sensitive to New Physics not sensitive sensitive to New Physics • Dmd well-measured: 0.509±0.004 ps-1 • many uncertainties cancel in ratio Mike Hildreth – B-mixing and Lifetimes

  17. Quantum Entanglement • Belle: EPR tests of quantum coherence of Y(4S) • measurement of flavor asymmetry vs Dt can distinguish between models suggesting different degrees of coherence • true Bell’s inequality test impossible due to short B lifetime, passive nature of flavor measurement Quantum Mechanics: Spontaneous Decoherence: Local Realistic Model: Mike Hildreth – B-mixing and Lifetimes

  18. Quantum Coherence • Fits of flavor asymmetry to different coherence models • spontaneous decoherence disfavored by 18s, local reality model disfavored by 5.1s Mike Hildreth – B-mixing and Lifetimes

  19. Bs Mixing Measurements at the Tevatron • Time-dependent flavor evolution of Bs measured directly • Three ingredients: • measurement of production flavor • hardest part of measurement • various indirect techniques based on properties of associated fragmentation and decay products • measurement of decay flavor • flavor-specific final state or lepton decay flavor • proper time of decay • position resolution of tracking system • momentum resolution critical for background suppression Mike Hildreth – B-mixing and Lifetimes

  20. Semi-leptonic: most numerous, but missing neutrino spoils proper time resolution Specific Hadronic Final States: all-charged final states give excellent vertex resolution Bs Mixing Measurements: final states 2.4 fb-1 CDF Run II Data Samples: part. rec. 3100 New Analysis Mike Hildreth – B-mixing and Lifetimes

  21. Bs Mixing Measurements: flavor tag • No luxury of coherent B0-B0 initial state for flavor tagging • need to use as much information as possible in the event to determine production flavor • Figure of Merit: D2  efficiency of tag x (dilution factor)2 final state tags decay flavor • Kaon flavor: bcXK- • lepton flavor: bX-, but bcX+ • jet charge: momentum-weighted charge of initial fragmentation tracks • Kaon flavor: strange quark not included in Bs forms Kaon CDF achieved: D2 = 1.8% (OST) D2 = 3.7% (SSThad), 4.8%(SSTlep) Mike Hildreth – B-mixing and Lifetimes

  24. constraints on new physics in B-mixing Mike Hildreth – B-mixing and Lifetimes

  25. DGs/Gs and fs • First Tevatron measurement with direct bearing on CP violation in the Bs system (New Physics!) • define Heavy (H, CP-odd) and Light (L, CP-even) Bs states: • GH and GL are partial widths, DGs = GL-GH, Gs=1/2(GH+GL) • Differential decay rate (Lifetime difference!): • fs 0  new CP-violation; expected SM value is very small CP-even angular configurations (L=0, 2) CP-odd angular configuration (L=1) ; Mike Hildreth – B-mixing and Lifetimes

  26. DGs/Gs Measurements Strategy: • Choose decay with definite CP states: BsJ/, J/m+m-, K+K- • Vector mesons in final state are CP-odd (L=1) or CP-even (L=0,2) • rate depends on relative orientation of meson polarization • time-dependent angular distributions allow separation of BsLand BsH components • Simultaneous fit to lifetimes, angle space • modifications of angular distributions due to acceptance effects taken from MC models Mike Hildreth – B-mixing and Lifetimes

  27. DGs/Gs Measurements New Measurement from CDF: • very loose pre-selection • Neural Net used to maximize S/S+B; ~2500 BsJ/ decays Mike Hildreth – B-mixing and Lifetimes

  28. DGs/Gs Measurements • CDF Angular projections: • Similar Results from DØ PRL 98 , 121801 (2007) (Lifetime-enhanced cuts) Mike Hildreth – B-mixing and Lifetimes

  29. Constraints on fs • CDF • allowed region in DG/fs plane determined by frequentist method to account for biases at low values of DG or fs hep-ex/0702030 contours • DØ: • combined constraints from BsJ/, semileptonic charge assymetry, Dms Mike Hildreth – B-mixing and Lifetimes
