  1. Super BPhysics Opportunities David Hitlin SLUO Annual Meeting September 17, 2009

  2. Why SuperB ? • The motivation to continue e+e- flavor physics studies with a Super B factory beyond the BABAR/Belle/(LHCb) era lies in its ability to make measurements that have sensitivity to physics beyond the Standard Model • This sensitivity extends to New Physics in b, c and t decay • A data sample of 50-75 ab-1is required to provide this sensitivity • BABAR +Belle total sample is <2 ab-1 • A luminosity in the range of 1036 cm-2s-1 is required to integrate this large a sample in a reasonable time • There are two approaches on the market to acquiring such a sample • SuperKEKB at KEK and SuperB at Rome II Univ (Tor Vergata) or LNF • Both asymmetric colliders now use a version of the “Italian scheme” • Collide asymmetric energy rings having very low emittance, similar to those developed for the ILC damping rings and high brightness light sources • SuperB also employs a new type of final focus – a “crabbed waist” and has a longitudinally polarized (~80%) LER beam • Beam currents and wallplug power are reduced from brute force extrapolations of the existing machines PEP-II and KEKB • Luminosity-related backgrounds and radiation levels in the forward/backward directions are high: under intensive study • Design of an appropriate detector is a tractable problem

  3. Roman Villa Collider Hall SuperB LINAC SPARX SuperB at the Tor Vergata site with circumference 1.8 km

  4. The SuperB detector is an upgrade of BABAR • New SVT with striplet-> pixel Layer 0 • New DCH • Smaller DIRC SOB • Possible forward PID • New EMC forwardendcap • Possible rear endcapcalorimeter • Improved muon ID BABAR SuperB

  5. Who ? • The SuperB accelerator and detector effort has produced a CDR, and is now in the middle of a two year TDR phase • Effort from Italy, US, France, Russia, Canada, UK, Spain, Norway • European roadmap recognizes the SuperB project • Progress reported to the CERN Strategy Group • P5 report includes SuperB at Scenario B • Approval process is proceeding apace in Italy • Anticipate a decision by the end of the year • Site selection soon thereafter • Form the detector/physics collaboration within months of decision • Five year construction period • Many PEP-II and BABAR components can be re-used

  6. Two nascent efforts >80ab-1 after6years Both now employ versions of the “Italian scheme”: • Low emittance rings with large crossing angles 50ab-1 by ~2020 L~8x1035 10ab-1 ~ 2016 L~2x1035 3year shutdown for upgrade 2015? 2020?

  7. What’s the killer app? • Is it the ability to discover lepton flavor-violating t decays and determine the chirality of the LFV coupling ? • Neutrino oscillations demonstrate the existence of neutral LFV couplings • Charged LFV are very small in the Standard Model, but measureable at a Super B factory • Is it the unique sensitivity to new CP phases beyond the CKM phase in B and Ddecay through studies of direct and indirect CP asymmetries? • Is it the sensitivity to the existence of a fourth quark generation ? • Is it the sensitivity to right-handed currents ? • Is it the sensitive tests of CPT invariance at the highest available q2 made possible by exploiting quantum coherence? • Is it the whole panoply of measurements and the pattern of effects uncovered that can serve as a “DNA chip” for New Physics found at LHC ?

  9. Lepton Flavor Violation in t decays Super B Factory sensitivity directly confronts New Physics models SuperBsensitivity For 75 ab-1 We expect to see LFV events, not just improve limits

  18. CKM Fitter results as of Moriond 2009 The BABARand Belle CP asymmetry measurements together with improved precision in othermeasurements have produced a set of highly overconstrained tests, which grossomodo, are well-satisfied A closer look, however, reveals some issues

  19. A variety of analyses have pinpointed tensions in the UT • These are all at the 2-3 s level, but occur in several places e.g., Lunghi and Soni analysis

  20. Does the agreement of the overconstrained tests stand up to detailed scrutiny ? • There is actually some tension, and there are enough constraints to explore these issues • Caveats: • There may be Standard Model explanations for some effects • All issues are at the <3s level • Inclusive and exclusive Vub determinations are not in good agreement • There are also issues with inclusive/exclusive Vcb • The B(B→tn)conflict • The agreement of the fitted, i.e., SM-predicted value of sin 2bvs the directly measured value using tree decays and loop decays is not perfect • The Bs → ψϕphase • The Kp problem

  21. The B(B→tn)conflict Effectively a measurement of fB Determines same constraint B(B→tn)also constrains Higgs doublet models G. Eigen

  22. Is there a fourth quark generation ? • A fourth generation CKM-like mixing matrix has • 2 additional quark masses • 3 additional mixing angles • 2 additional CP-violating phases • A recent analysis by Bobrowski, Lenz, Reidl and Rohrwildshows that large regions of the new parameter spaces are still allowed • SuperB factories will be the primary tool to close this window, or, perhaps,to find significantly non-zero values ofthese fourth generation parameters q24 d14 q14 d13

  23. New physics in Bd, Bsmixing ?? There isstill room for sizeable contributions from New Physics Model-independentparametrization for New Physics in ΔF=2 transitions The preferred (SM+NP) ΔNP value iscurrently ~ 2σfrom SM for bothBd and Bssystems To clarify: Updated Tevatron result LHCb sin2bs measurement

W -H --g,0 b u,c,t s b u,c,t s b u,c,t s b d,s,b s CPV Probes of New Physics • In the Standard Model we expect the same value for “sin2 ” in modes, but different SUSY models can produce different asymmetries • Since the penguin modes have branching fractions one or two orders of magnitude less than tree modes, a great deal of luminosity is required to make these measurements to meaningful precision ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

  30. Much more data is required for a definitive result • Can be pursued with exclusive or inclusive reconstruction • A measure of the relative merits is the precision in determination of the zero Exclusive Inclusive Theory error: 9% + O(L/mb) uncertainty Egede, Hurth, Matias, Ramon, Reece arxiv:0807.2589 Experimental error (SHLC): 2.1% Theory error: ~5% Huber, Hurth, Lunghi arxiv:0712.3009 Experimental error (Super B Factory): 4-6%

  31. The pattern of deviation from the SM values is diagnostic

  32. A Super B Factory is a DNA chip for New Physics

  33. Conclusions • A new generation of flavor physics experiments will play a vital role in understanding new physics found at LHC • A full set of constraints requires studies of EDMs, (g-2)m, rare m and t decays, me conversion and rare K, D and B decays • High statistics (50-75 ab-1 ) data samples at e+e- Super B Factories provide both • Discovery potential • charged lepton flavor violation • CPV in mixing, and • A DNA chip to discriminate between model of New Physics • The achievable levels of sensitivity in rare b, c and  decays provide substantial coverage in the parameter space • The SuperB program, of course, overlaps with the programs of LHC flavor experiments such as LHCb, but the e+e- environment makes possible a substantial number of unique and important physics measurements in areas sensitive to New Physics
