  1. Search for Bsm+m- and Bdm+m- Decays at CDF Cheng-Ju S. Lin (Fermilab) The 13th International Conference on Supersymmetry and Unification of Fundamental Interactions IPPP Durham 18 July 2005

  2. Introduction • In the Standard Model, the FCNC decay of B m+m- is heavily • suppressed SM prediction  (Buchalla & Buras, Misiak & Urban) • Bdmm is further suppressed by CKM coupling (vtd/vts)2 • SM prediction is below the sensitivity of current experiments • (CDF+D0): SM  Expect to see 0 events at the Tevatron Any signal would indicate new physics!! Cheng-Ju Lin (Fermilab) SUSY05

  3. BEYOND STANDARD MODEL m b R-parity violating SUSY ~ n l’i23 l i22 m s • In many SUSY models, the BR could be enhanced by many • orders of magnitude: • For examples: • - MSSM: Br(Bmm) is proportional • to tan6b. BR could be as large as • ~100 times the SM prediction • - Tree level diagram is allowed in • R-parity violating (RPV) SUSY • models. Possible to observe decay • even for low value of tanb. • In context of mSUGRA, Br(Bmm) search complements • direct SUSY searches: (A. Dedes et al, hep-ph/0207026) • Low tan(b)  observation of trilepton events • Large tan(b)  observation of Br(Bmm)

  4. PROBE OF NEW PHYSICS Monte Carlo • New physics may enhance Bs and • Bdmm differently • Minimal-flavor-violation (MFV) • assumption in SUSY yields SM • relations between Bs and Bdmm • decays • Can observe both Bs and Bd: unique to • Tevatron • CDF has the mass resolution to • distinguish two decays, s(Mmm)~23MeV : • unique to CDF • Either observation or null search, results will provide important • clues about possible scenarios of new physics beyond SM M(Bs)-M(Bd)~90MeV

  5. TEVATRON • Tevatron is the highest energy collider in the world • Ecm(pp) = 1.96 TeV • RunII physics run began in Mar 2001 (>1 fb-1 delivered so far) • Expect 8fb-1 (design spec) by 2009. • B production cross-sec • is ~30mb at Tevatron • (1nb at PEPII) • All B species are produced • (B+ : Bd : Bs : Lb,) DØ CDF Tevatron Main Injector

  6. CDF II Detector Important components relevant to the analysis highlighted: Central Muon Extension: CMX (0.6< |h| < 1.0) Central Drift Chamber (COT) Silicon Vertex Detector (L00, SVXII, ISL) Superconducting Solenoid (1.4T) Central Muon Chambers: CMU, CMP (|h| < 0.6)

  7. Data Sample • Using 364pb-1 of data (Feb 02 – Aug 04) from di-muon triggers: • - CMU(P) + CMU (central-central) • - CMU(P) + CMX (central-extended) • Central-central and central-extended channels treated independently • in this analysis (background and efficiencies are different) Rare B di-muon triggers requires additional cuts to reduce background relative to inclusive J/y di-muon trigger Search region Cheng-Ju Lin (Fermilab) SUSY05

  8. Ingredients of the Analysis Overall picture: - Reconstructing di-muon events in the B mass window - Measure the branching ratio or set a limit Normalized to BJ/y K decays Key elements in the analysis: - Construct discriminant to select Bs signal and suppress bkg - understanding the background - accurately measure the acceptance and efficiency ratios Analysis optimization: Figure of merit  expected 90% C.L. upper limit Performed unbiased optimization Cheng-Ju Lin (Fermilab) SUSY05

  9. Reconstruct “normalization mode” Count the # of B+m+m-K+ candidates • Selection Requires: • pT(B)>4 GeV && |y(B)|<1 • pT(K+)>1GeV • good vertex fit quality • l/s(l) > 2 • l = proper decay length • [l (B+) = ~502mm] CMU-CMU B+mmK+ in rare B trigger Sample: N(CMU/P-CMU) = 1785±60 N(CMU/P-CMX) = 696±39

  10. Bs Sample Selection “baseline cuts” • For Bsm+m-: • Pre-selection requires: • pT(B)>4 GeV && |y(B)|<1 • l/s(l) > 2 • good vertex fit quality CMU-CMU • [l (Bs) = ~502mm] Bsmm Search Sample: N(CMU-CMU) = 22459 N(CMU-CMX) = 14305 (completely Bgd dominated) Background shapes are linear for both channels “Baseline” cuts are loose cuts to reject events that are clearly background Cheng-Ju Lin (Fermilab) SUSY05

  11. Enhance Bs,dmm and Suppress Background We have explored various discriminating variables for selecting Bmm events and suppress bkg. The chosen ones are: • Invariant m+m- mass, Mvtx. : within +/- 60MeV (2.5s) • Proper decay-length (l): • Isolation (Iso): (fraction of pT from Bmm within DR=(h2+f2)1/2 cone of 1) • “pointing (Da)”: (3D opening angle between Bs momentum and decay axis) Cheng-Ju Lin (Fermilab) SUSY05

  12. cut cut Discriminating Variables (Sig vs BKG) To further reduce Bgd, we apply the additional cuts: Da<0.70 rad && Iso > 0.50 eff(signal) ~ 92% This leaves in m+m- data: N(CMU-CMU) = 6242 N(CMU-CMX) = 4908 ~x3 down in bkg but still… Cheng-Ju Lin (Fermilab) SUSY05

  13. Likelihood Ratio Discriminant • We use a likelihood ratio method: Ps/b is the probability for a given sig/bkg to have a value of x, where i runs over all discriminating variables. • The chosen variables are: • - isolation (iso) • - 3D pointing (Da), • - proper decay length probability [P(l)=exp(-l/lBs)] • PDF for the individual likelihood is reconstructed from the • data sideband for background and Pythia MC for signal Cheng-Ju Lin (Fermilab) SUSY05

OS- : opposite-charge dimuon l < 0 2.) SS+ : same-charge dimuon l > 0 3.) SS- : same-charge dimuon l < 0 4.) FM : fake muon sample (at least one leg failed muon stub chi2 cut) Note: Using a wide ±100MeV window around B mass for bkg cross-check

  16. Compute Acceptance and Efficiencies • Most efficiencies are determined directly from data using inclusive • J/ymm events. The rest are taken from Pythia MC. • a(B+/Bs)= 0.297 +/- 0.008 (CMU-CMU) • = 0.191 +/- 0.006 (CMU-CMX) • eLH(Bs): ranges from 70% for LH>0.9 to • 40% for LH>0.99 • etrig(B+/Bs) = 0.9997 +/- 0.0016 (CMU-CMU) • = 0.9986 +/- 0.0014 (CMU-CMX) Red = From MC Green = From Data Blue = combination of MC and Data • ereco-mm(B+/Bs) = 1.00 +/- 0.03 (CMU-CMU/X) • evtx(B+/Bs) = 0.986 +/- 0.013 (CMU-CMU/X) • ereco-K(B+) = 0.938 +/- 0.016 (CMU-CMU/X) fu/fs=3.83±0.57 (HFAG 2004)

Analysis Optimization Quantity which vary in optimization Poisson prob of observing nobs when expecting nbg 90% CL UL on Nsignal when expecting nbg bkgd evts using Bayesian Method (w/ flat prior) and including uncertainties We used the set of requirements which yielded the minimum a priori expected BR Limit: • For optimization, we scan over a range of LH values • Assume 1 fb-1 of data •  Optimal cuts: LH>0.99

  24. Summary • Bsmm is a powerful probe of new physics. Could potentially • provide the first hint of SUSY at the Tevatron • Using 364pb-1 of data, CDF has obtained world best limits on • Bs and Bd channels: • CDF: Br(Bs) < 1.5×10-7 (2.0×10-7) @ 90% (95%) CL • Br(Bd) < 3.8×10-8 (4.9×10-8) @ 90% (95%) CL • TEVNPWG is combining CDF and D0 limits. Expect ~20% • improvements over CDF limits alone • The limits are now starting to constrain interesting regions • of SUSY parameter space • We have covered an order of magnitude since Run I. Will • cover at least another order of magnitude before the end of RunII Cheng-Ju Lin (Fermilab) SUSY05

  26. Correlations Between Variables Correlations between discriminating variables are negligible:  straighforward to construct likelihood discriminant (see next slide)

  27. Checking MC Modeling of Signal LH Compare B+ Data and MC • For CMU-CMU: • MC reproduces Data • efficiency vs LHood cut • to 10% or better • Assign 10% (relative) • systematic • CMU-CMX MC vs Data • agreement is better

  28. Checking MC Modeling of Signal LH • For CMU-CMX: • MC reproduces Data • efficiency vs LHood cut • to 5% or better • Assign 5% (relative) • systematic for • CMU-CMX

  32. Bmm Sensitivity To Heavy Higgs MFV MSSM (tanb=50) (A. Dedes et al, hep-ph/0407285) • Br(Bsmm) is sensitive • to the mass of heavy Higgs • If the branching ratio is • measured  sets an upper • limit on the mass of the • heavy Higgs • mA mass limit is where • BR crosses the green curve • (same argument hold of • any tanb≤ 50) • The mass limit is fairly • model independent (Excluded by Bsmm)

  33. BsLimit Projection • Extrapolate based on the • current analysis which was • optimized for 1/fb • Assume background and • single-event-sensitivity • scale linearly with luminosity • Will need to re-optimize the • analysis for > 3/fb
