  2. Outline • The B Factory Experiments • B lifetimes and mixing • Time-dependent CP-violating asymmetries • CP charge asymmetries • B hadronic decay rates Motivation for measurements. How well have we measured these properties? What have we learned? Patricia Burchat, Stanford

  3. BABAR/PEP-II peak luminosity: 4.6 x 1033cm-2s-1 (~5 BB/s) max lumi/24h: 303 pb-1 total recorded lumi to date: ~90 fb-1 recorded (~10% off-peak) 4.5-month shutdown starts July 1, 2002 Belle/KEK-B peak luminosity: 7.2 x 1033cm-2s-1 (~8 BB/s) max lumi/24h: 388 pb-1 total recorded lumi to date: ~80 fb-1 recorded (~10% off-peak) 2-month shutdown starts July 1, 2002 The B Factory Experiments • c.f. integrated luminosity for • Argus (1983-1987): ~100 pb-1 • CLEO (1981-2000): ~16 fb-1 Patricia Burchat, Stanford

  4. d s b u c t The Unitarity Triangles (K system) d•s* = 0 (Bs system) s•b* = 0 (Bd system) d•b* = 0 These three triangles (and the three triangles corresponding to the rows) all have the same area. A nonzero area is a measure of CP violation and is an invariant of the CKM matrix. apply unitarity constraint to pairs of columns Patricia Burchat, Stanford

  5. d s b u c t The Unitarity Triangle Vtb*Vtd Vub*Vud a b g Vcb*Vcd Orientation of triangle has no physical significance. Only relative angle between sides is significant. apply unitarity constraint to these two columns Patricia Burchat, Stanford

  7. We are sensitive to CP-violating CKM phases through interference between two decays with known (or unknown) CP-conserving relative phases. Meson mixing provides a source of error-free non-CKM phase shift by 90o ( i): |B0 (t)  cos(Dm t/2) |B0 – i sin(Dm t/2) |B0 exp(2if), where the CKM angle f is associated with the mixing box diagram. Interference between two decay diagrams (e.g., tree and penguin amplitudes with different CKM phases) can lead to CP-violating asymmetries but interpretation depends on relative strong phase.

  12. Prospects for future lifetime and mixing measurements • many preliminary lifetime and mixing results. • systematic uncertainties dominated by Dt resolution function and, for mixing, knowledge of the lifetime. • measure mixing and lifetime simultaneously • expect <1% uncertainty on Bd mixing in a few years. • measure DG. • test assumptions of CP/T/CPT symmetries.   Flavor Session VIII, T.

  30. Charmless Two-Body Decays In decays such as B  K p, interference between the Tree and Penguin amplitudes can lead to CP asymmetries that depend on g AND the strong phase difference. Also, ratios of BF for various p p and K p decay modes are sensitive to the angle g. Goal: Measure CP asymmetries AND branching fractions for all charmless two-body final states.

  38. Summary • With the rapidly increasing data samples from the B Factories, many new decay modes are becoming available for • time-dependent CP asymmetry measurements (sensitive to band a); • direct CP asymmetry measurements (sensitive to a and g); • branching fraction and resonant substructure measurements that are crucial for the interpretation of many of the CP asymmetries. • b is in agreement with SM predictions; too early to interpret results on a. • The summer conferences and the Fall papers will continue to bring many interesting new results to interpret as the B Factory experiments “catch up” on their analyses.
