  2. Outline • Introduction • Analysis method • Bu and Bd decays to mesonic final states (results and discussions) • Conclusion Liliana Teodorescu

  3. Introduction (1) • Rare B decays • branching fractions (BF) less than 10-5 • do not involve CKM favoured b->c transitions • Theoretical mechanism • CKM suppressed tree b->u transitions (T) • loop (penguin) b->s or b->d transitions (P) • interference between T and P => direct CP violation Direct CP violation observable weak phase diff. strong phase diff. ACP sizeable when and Liliana Teodorescu

  4. Introduction (2) Physics interest • Standard Model • Precise tests of the theoretical predictions (small amplitude processes) • Potential evidence for CP violation • Constraints on CKM parameters – extraction of UT angles through • direct measurements of the time-dependent asymmetries • branching fraction dependence on the UT angles • New Physics • New particles hidden in the loops • Constraints on theoretical models SM non-SM Higgs SUSY Observables • BF • time-integrated CP asymmetry • time-dependent CP asymmetry Covered in this talk BFs and ACP (time-integrated)(Babar, Belle, Cleo) Liliana Teodorescu

  5. Analysis method Babar, Belle, Cleo • exploit production at threshold and small energy released in Signal isolation • identification of reconstructed B with 2 almost uncorrelated kinematical var. beam-energy substituted mass (beam constrained mass – Mbc ) Signal: mES= mB energy difference Signal: E = 0 Background suppression • “continuum” events - non-resonant • event shape variables: used • independently, in a Fisher • discriminant or in a Neural Network B decays: spheric Continuum: jet-like • other B decays – decay angles, helicity angles etc. Signal extraction • 1dim. or multidim. fit of E, mES(Mbc), shape var., PID var. • cont. bkg. - modeled with a phase-space function with kinematical threshold - studied with events of sidebands in E, mES(Mbc) outside the signal region off-resonance data, MC etc. Liliana Teodorescu

  7. B -> h h' ( h,h'=K, ) p Physics interest • provide information used in CKM angles  (2) and  (3) determination • extraction of angles suffers from hadronic uncertainties in the theoretical calculations • BFs give limits of these hadronic uncertainties • ACP used to establish the direct CP violation in SM or indicate New Physics Liliana Teodorescu

  11. B -> K (2) and B -> K K p CP Asymmetries B ->K • could be significant due to interference between T and P amplitudes Preliminary • no evidence of direct CP violation in K decay modes B ->KK BFs • give information about the rescattering processes (FSI) • rescattering can modify BF and ACP for   and K modes • KK more sensitive to rescattering effects 82fb-1 BF (10-6) 140fb-1 9.13fb-1 • BF limits in agreement with pQCD predictions (PR D63, 014003 (2000)) • no evidence of rescattering yet Liliana Teodorescu
