  1. Measurement of Time-dependent CP Asymmetries & New Physics Searches with Rare B Meson Decays(B0p+p- & B0Ksp0) Amir Farbin University of Maryland (BaBar Collaboration)

  2. Outline • Some B physics background/notation • Describe 2 time-dependent measurements in 2-body charmless B decays in the context of how they test the SM • Method 1- CKM consistency tests. • B0p+p- measures a (one ingredient) • first t-d measurement in rare mode- First measured for LP01. I’ll present LP03 results. • Method 2- Search for new physics effects. • B0Ksp0 sensitive to SUSY, ED, etc… • thought unmeasureable • Presented at LP03 • Since the 2 analyses are very similar, I’ll describe most of the details when describing B0p+p-. • Give some idea of future prospects.

  3. CP Observing CP Violation • CPV is elusive- 36 years between discoveries in K’s and B’s • Interference effect. 3 observable types of CPV: • 1.CPV in Decay (Direct) • Requires contributions from at least 2 amplitudes with: • DifferentCP-even phases • DifferentCP-odd phases 2.CPV in Mixing • 3.CPV in Interference between Mixing and Decay • In decays of neutral mesons to a CP eigenstate mixing decay

  4. Flavor Changing Interactions in SM • The CKM Matrix: • Unitary • 4Free parameters: • 3 Real • 1 Imaginary • CPV w/ >2 Generations Connect:up quarks,down quarks, and W-bosons Only CPV in SM (quarks) Cabbibo-Kobayashi-Maskawa Matrix u u CP W+ W- Vud V*ud d d

  5. * VtdVtb * VudVub * VcdVcb The CKM Matrix (Notation) Wolfenstein Parameterization 3 real parameters: A, l, r Unitarity = |Vus|  0.2200  0.0025 A = |Vcb| / 2  0.83  0.05 (,) not well known 1 complex phase: h VudV*ub + VcdV*cb + VtdV*tb =0 Relate angles to decays of B’s to CP Eigenstates a Represented as triangle b g

  6. Testing CKM Check that CP violation in the quark sector is fully encapsulated by the CKM matrix: • Constraints in the r-h plane: • Using indirect measurements: • sin 2b=0.727±0.036 • B meson system B0J/y K0decays: • sin 2b=0.739±0.048 Method 1 •  First triumph of B factories: CKM phase dominant source of CPV • Lots of effort into improving the inputs. 32 CL range: • Check the unitarity of CKM matrix: Independently measure Unitarity Triangle angles a, b, g and test closure: a+b+g=180. (New physics test) •  Hampered by experimental (low statistics) and theoretical (hadronic uncertainties) difficulties. A. Hocker, et al. • If no inconsistency is found  precise measurements of fundamental SM parameters Time dependent analysis of B0p+p- is sensitive to the angle a.

  7. Measuring Angles with B0’s Look at interference between decay and mixing. Measure the time-dependent decay asymmetry Oscillate w/ mixing freq mixing Amplitudes: Decay amplitude ratio Tree

  8. B0p+p- Decays (Not so simple) Mode Tree Amplitude (T) Hadronic Penguin Amplitude (P) • In the case of B0J/y Ks Tree/Penguin carry same phase  Measure sin 2b • Br(B0K+p-) >> Br(B0p+p-)  Penguin contributions may be large • But for B0p+p- Tree/Penguin may contribute w/ different phases “a Effective”

  11. B0p+p-, Ksp0 Decays • Two-body decay: two back-to-back 2.6 GeV/c particles in CM Hardest particles from any B decay  No B bkgs • Effects PID & resolution of kin vars • Rare Decays: Branch fractions ~ 10-6 - 10-5 (~ 1-10 events/fb-1) •  Maximize efficiency: loose selection + global likelihood fit. • Large background from • (~1100/325 Event/fb-1 before/after selections) •  Use multivariate techniques to discriminate against background. • B0p+p-: must separate Bp+p-,K+p-,K-p+,K+K- • BaBar’s Ring Imaging Cherenkov detector (DIRC). • B0Ksp0: No tracks from B decay vertex •  Use extra constraints to determine decay point along beam.

  12. The Observables • Kinematics • Event shape • Particle ID • B Decay points • B Flavor

  13. Kinematics Nearly orthogonal • Dominated by tracking resolution • Unique for every decay • Assume pp shift for Kp and KK • Resolution dominated by the small spread in beam energy (10.58/2 GeV) • Insensitive to reconstructed mode (DE)  26 MeV s(mES)  2.6 MeV/c2 Kp KK pp Signal B0Ksp0 B0Ksp0 Tail from EMC leakage Background Tail from EMC leakage Background (All distributions are normalized to the same area)

  18. u K- l- n W- c b D, D* d d B0 B0 d d Separating B0 and B0 mesons (B Flavor Tagging) • Exploit correlation between b-quark flavor & charges of final decay products • 7 algorithms look for 4 signatures 1. Lepton 2. Kaon W+ W- s b c u PID Kin & PID • Overall Q ~ 28% (Errors on S & C ~ w/ 1/Q) Tagging e~70% 4. Hard Pion 3. Soft Pion Kin

  19. Extracting Spp & Cpp B0h+h’- candidates Measure: Spp & Cpp Signal Dt & Tagging params Maximum Likelihood Fit • Possible due to the inclusion of flavor sample • Smaller/simpler systematic errors. Bkg mES, DE, F, Dt, & Tagging params candidates Signal/Background Yields • Possible due to the inclusion of large side-bands. • Provides more accurate/simplified parameterization of the background • Smaller/simpler systematic errors • Params of: • Sig mES, DE, F from MC/data • qc from D* • Allows measuring the branching fractions for Bpp,Kp,KK & the direct CP asym in BKK

  20. Some Validations • Blind analysis  don’t look at the answer until ready • Extensive Monte Carlo tests including specialized Toy MC • Large number of BKp in sample  measure • tB=1.602± 0.058 ps (World Avg: 1.542 ± 0.016 ps) • Dmd=0.472 ± 0.036 ps-1 (World Avg: 0.489 ± 0.008 ps-1) • SKp=0.02 ± 0.15, CKp=0.09 ± 0.11 (Expect SKp=CKp=0)  We can properly measure to time/flavor dependent quantities in the Bhh sample. Likelihood selected sample of signal BKp candidates

  22. Extracting a from Spp & Cpp Belle winter 03 (78 fb-1): Average: BaBar summer 03 (113 fb-1): • CKM fit using other measurements • SU(2)- Isospin symmetry & Bpp • SU(3)- Flavor symmetry & B0K+p- • SU(3)- Flavor symmetry & B+K0p+ • QCD Factorization • Consistent w/ SM • Note current experimental accuracy A. Hocker, et al.

  23. Comment on “Isospin” Analysis Use SU(2) isospin symmetry to relate the rates of •  Provides only theoretically clean method of obtaining a from aEff (with 4-fold ambiguity) • B0p0p0 recently observed by BaBar w/ large branching fraction: 2.1 ± 0.6 ± 0.3 x 10-6 • Quinn-Grossman bound: •  Not very useful: |a-aEff|<48o @ 90% CL • Even with flavor tagged rates might need 10 ab-1 • New hope: B0r+r- • ~100% longitudinally polarized  CP even. • Similar stat error on Srr & Crr • B(B0r0r0) is very small |a-aEff|<14.7o

  24. Testing CKM (cont’d) g Search for new physics: Study decays whose leading contributions are from loop diagrams and may therefore deviate from SM prediction due to new physics. Method 2 a. Branching fractions: Ex: bsg b. Direct CP violation: Ex: BK*g c. Time-dependent CP violation: Compare sin 2b from bsuu, bsdd, bsss to bscc(ie BJ/yKs) or • Current Status: • 4 measurements • Large Statistical Errors • Deviation in B0fKs??? 2.1s 3.5s B0Ksp0 is the most recent addition to these modes.

  25. B0 Ksp0 Decays B0 Ksp0 is a penguin dominated decay to a CP eigenstate: Cabbibo & Color Suppressed • A time-dependent analysis:P measures sin 2b • Maximal deviation in SM from sin 2b due to dynamical enhancement : 0.17<SKsp0-sin 2b<0.18 • Usual arguments of sensitivity to new physics in loop diagrams applies Grossman, Ligeti, Nir, Quinn (hep-ph/0303171) Gronau, Grossman, Rosner (hep-ph/0310020)

  26. Reconstructing the B0 Ksp0 Vertex y y z x p+ p- p0 Ks ~30 mm ~4 mm Beam ~200 mm p+ Constrain in x-y to beam-spot p- Ks Only have vtx info here e+ e- Beam p0 “Beam Constrained (BC) Vertexing” Btag- Standard Method • Method works: • Small beam size • Good beam spot reco. • Dt dominated by tag side • Same principle for Btag vtx where there’s only 1 trk Inflated Beam

  27. Properties of BC vertexing • Resolution on z-position depends on number of SVT layers traversed by pions form Ks • Belle has 3 (now 4) SVD layers  problem? Ks x-y decay lengthdistribution Insufficient SVT hits for trk matching ~50% res. difference SVT layers f cos q • Ks flight direction Expected dependence (assuming perfect resolution but finite beam size)

  28. BC vs Nominal Vertexing RMS of (Dtmeas- Dttrue) vs. sDt Mean of (Dtmeas- Dttrue) vs. sDt Class I Class II • Unique to BC Vertexing: • Only vtx ~65% of decays (mode dependent) • 2 Classes of events w/ different avg resolutions • Common to BC & Nominal Vertexing: • Dependence of Dt resolution on estimated error sDt  essential ingredient of resolution function • We have no large sample of BC vertexed events. •  Use same resolution function for nominal & BC vertexed samples. • Use MC to estimate systematic for this choice.

  29. Extracting S & C Class I + II + III + IV events Measure: S & C Loose selection  high efficiency Bkg mES, DE, F, Dt, & Tagging params Maximum Likelihood Fit Signal/Background Yields • Use Dt for events in class I and II (~ 65% of events)  Gives S (& C) • Use tagging for all tagged events  Gives C • Params of: • Sig mES, DE, F from MC/data • Sig Dt & Tagging params from Bflav

  30. Validations • Since this is a “new” technique  some validation. • Control samples: • B0 J/yKs: “Remove” J/y from B vtx by blowing up its vtx parameters (Mangling) • Compare nominal/BC vertex event by event • Compare data/MC • Compare sin 2b • DSJ/yKs(nominal-BC)=-0.027 ± 0.064 • DCJ/yKs(nominal-BC)=-0.034 ±0.026 • B+ Ksp+: “Remove” p+ from B vtx by blowing up trk parameters. • Same kinematics as our decay • Similar backgrounds • “Null test”: • SKsp+= 0.18±0.19 • CKsp+= 0.06±0.11

  32. Beyond SM Prospects in B Physics • Questions: • What is the likelihood of seeing new physics? • What can we learn from an “observation”? • How do we relate measurements from different channels? (ie how do we understand current measurements?) Theorist: (example) ÖÖ =Large SUSY contributuions Ö = Non-negligable deviation from SM Goto, Okada, Shimizu, Shindou, Tanaka (hep-ph/0306093) • Pessimistic: • There are enough SUSY parameters/SUSY breaking models to accommodate any scenario… including no signature in B physics. • Each measurement probes a different aspect of new physics. • Example: B0fKs could be the only New Physics signature. • Optimistic: • Multiple SUSY signatures in B physics. • Time-dependent asymmetries are more sensitive probes than BRs and direct CPV. • B factories will (at least) tighten new physics limits.  Important to check all experimentally accessible decays

  33. g New Possibility: B0K*g, K*Ksp0 • bsg decay: B0K*g, K*Ksp0 CP Eigenstate- 11% B0K*g, K*K+p- Self-tagging- 89% • B0Ksp0 final state with extra photon  Use BC vertexing • The dominant SM amplitude gives opposite photon helicities for • New physics enhance SK*g up to 50% of sin 2b • Related to B0fKs. New physics should be apparent in both!  Expect: Helicity Flip Suppressed by ms/mb mixing David Atwood, Michael Gronau, Amarjit Soni (1997) (hep-ph/9704272)

  34. Experimental Prospects Estimated maximal deviation from sin 2b • Summary • It is possible to “observe” new physics in most modes, if the deviation from SM is large. • Considering the current BaBar’s measured values it’s more difficult! • Many more modes to come soon…

  35. Summary • The angle a: • Though the B0p+p-was the “golden-mode” for a and the first time-dependent analysis in a rare B decay, the large B0p0p0 branching fraction makes extraction of a in the near future unlikely. • B0r+r- is promising… a with 10o uncertainty in the next few years? • New physics: • Belle’s B0fKs has everyone excited now. • We’ll know in 1-2 years if it is real. • The B0Ksp0 measurement has opened the door to previously inaccessible analyses. • B0K*g is promising. • Many more time-dependent analyses ahead.

  38. Looking for NP with time-dependent CPV g CKM Suppressed Decays which are dominated by penguin AND are sensitive to sin 2b (since b is well-known) : or Tree amplitudes are generally CKM suppressed indication of new physics?

CP= -1 Frederic Blanc, Fernando Palombo, Paul Bloom, Bill Ford, Mirna van Hoek, Jim Smith, Alfio Lazzaro B0h’Ks Diagrams Stats • Theory • For B0h‘Ks:|xh;K|< 0.36 • Bound on B+h‘K+ is better (more accurate BR measurements): |xh;K|~|xh;K+|< 0.09 • BaBar/Belle status/plans • Belle has submitted a PRL • BaBar: • Run 1-3 update by winter • Run 1-4 update by summer • Comments • Use: Ratios of branching fractions: B0AA’, A={h,h’,p0} (13 modes) sS(200/fb)=0.22, sS(500/fb)=0.14

  46. Ingredients for Measuring CPV w/ B’s (4S) In order to measure: 1. Produce many B mesons 2. B lifetime is small Provide a boost to measure B decay time  Asymmetric B Factory 3. B CP eigenstates are rare Efficient Reconstruction of fCP  Detector w/ PID & Vertexing 4. Determine Dt & B0/anti-B0

  47. Quartz bar Active Detector Surface Particle Cherenkov light Particle Identification (B0p+p-)(Detector of Internally Reflected Cherenkov Light) • Measure Angle of Cherenkov Cone in quartz • Transmitted by internal reflection • Detected by PMTs

  48. Interpreting the Results • Recall that • If decay dominated by tree amplitude (T) then • But expect large penguin contribution (P) to decay so d is relative strong phase between P and T

  49. CP Violation and the Universe The Big Bang Strings Cosmology Supersymmetry/ Extra-Dimensions Inflation Predicts more CPV Standard Model (Current Theory) Baryogenesis (Sakharov Conditions) Necessary ingredient 1 Param CP Violation = Matter/Anti-matter asymmetry Seen on both sides Observe: All matter Particle Physics Astronomy Observe: K’s & B’s Science of the smallest scale Science of the largest scales

  50. Assessing Dt and b-flavor Tagging • Need to measure the Dt resolution • Need to measure the b-flavor “mis-tag” rates, efficiencies, etc… • Use “self-tagging” B0 decays… • Know the flavor of the fully reco’d B  check determination of the flavor of BTagEx: B0  D- p+  (K- p+p-)p+ 50 times largerthan signal Add tagging effect (lot more stuff) Mistag
