  2. Outline • Overview: a little history, physics goals, and challenges • B+r+g, B0r0g, B0wg and theextraction of |Vtd/Vts| • BKl+l- and BK*l+l-: search for new physics using the lepton forward-backward asymmetry • Inclusive BXs g: branching fraction measurements and extraction of heavy-quark-expansion parameters (including mb) using the Eg spectrum • Conclusions Apologies for not covering all results on radiative/electroweak penguin decays in this talk!

  3. Radiative penguin decays of B mesons Now it’s a physics program! Observation of BK* g CLEO II (1993): Loops in B decays! PRL 71, 674 (1993): cited >500 times! Rare, but not all that rare!

  4. What can we learn from bs, d transitions? • Probe SM at 1-loop level (flavor-changing neutral currents) • Search for new physics: can affect amplitudes at leading order • As for semileptonic decays, the amplitude in EM/EW penguins involves only one hadronic current  factorizes. (+ W+W-box diagram) (dominated by t quark)

  5. What can we learn from bs,d transitions? • Understand QCD dynamics: single hadronic current allows us to isolate non-perturbative parameters in well-defined way. Can be related to same/similar parameters for other decays. • Exclusive decays: decay form factors fi(q2). bs transition is similar to bu (heavy-to-light decays) • Inclusive decays: parameters of heavy-quark expansion (mb, mp2,…); important input for |Vub|, |Vcb| extractions. • Measure/constrain CKM elements (|Vtd/Vts|): if info on hadronic parameters is available from data, theory, or both.

  6. Observation of bdg and Measurement of |Vtd/Vts| + W annihilation diagram (small) Ali, Lunghi, Parkhomenko, PLB 595, 323 (2004) [for I-spin avg.] Ball and Zwicky, JHEP 0604, 046 (2006) Ball and Zwicky, hep-ph/0603232 I-spin (r), quark model (w). Expect small I-spin violation: (1.1+/-3.9)%.

  7. Measurement of bdg Decays (Belle) Belle, PRL 96, 221601 (2006); 386 M BB. Signal continuum background BK*g Good particle ID is critical in this measurement to suppress BK* g feed-down.

  11. BKl+l- and BK*l+l- in the SM and Beyond Photon penguin Z penguin W+W- box • 3-body decays  dependence of rate on kinematic variables can be used to study the different amplitudes and their interference effects. • The mode BKl+l- is allowed as well as BK*l+l- (BKg forbidden by conservation of angular momentum).

  12. BK*l+l- Dalitz plot Can see AFB behavior and q2 dependence from the Dalitz plot Standard Model Prediction effect of g pole Note: BKl+l- is expected to have very small AFB, even in presence of new physics; effectively provides a crosscheck.

Ali et al., PRD 61, 074024 (2000)

  14. Form Factors and Observables • Long distance QCD physics is mainly described in terms of form • factors, which are functions of • 4 semileptonic form factors: A1, A2, V, A0 (similar to BD*ln, Brln) • 3 penguin form factors: T1, T2, T3 • Form factor uncertainies  35% uncertainty in rate predictions. large s

  20. BK*l+l-: BABAR results on AFB and GL use in 2 bins of q2 Data SM excluded at 3.6s! Any AFB<0 excluded at >2.7s (AFB=0 in SM and many BSM)

  22.

  23. Inclusive B Xsg • Canonical process for studying bs transition. Theory uncertainties currently at 10% level (NLO); pushing toward 5% (NNLO). • Huge theoretical effort to predict branching fraction & photon energy spectrum. Also predictions for CP and I-spin violation. • Spectrum is insensitive to new physics but is sensitive to mb and Fermi motion of b-quark (“shape function”). T. Hurth, E. Lunghi, W. Porod, Nucl. Phys. B 704, 56 (2005). M. Neubert, Eur. Phys. J. C 40, 165 (2005). all for M. Misiak and M. Steinhauser, hep-ph/0609241 NNLO New!

  24. Challenges of measuring inclusive B Xsg • Weak experimental signature: single high-energy photon + event-shape cuts. Huge background from p0’s and h’s! • Difficult to carry analysis down to Eg < 2.0 GeV. • Want to push toward 5% precision to match the expected precision of NNLO calculations.

  31. Conclusions Studies of radiative/electroweak penguins have moved far beyond BK*g. • Observation of exclusive bd g decays: B(r0, r+, w) g • Use to extract |Vtd/Vts|; consistent with value from Bs mixing. Precision soon to be limited by theoretical uncertainties. • Electroweak penguins decays BKl+l-, BK* l+l-, and BXsl+l-have been measured. First studies of decay distributions have been performed and exclude some non-SM scenarios. More data needed to exploit full potential. • Inclusive BXsg measurements provide information on mb and non-pert. QCD parameters and help improve precision on |Vcb| and |Vub|. Difficult issues with systematic errors, but goal is to achieve 5% uncertainty on branching fraction. • We will study radiative/EW penguins for many years to come at BaBar, Belle, and LHC-b!

  37. BKl+l- and BK*l+l-: the J/y veto • The decays BJ/yK and BJ/yK* are huge backgrounds and must be carefully removed (also By(2S)K, y(2S)K*). • These backgrounds are restricted in q2, but there is a tail due to bremsstrahlung in the electron modes. • But BJ/yK and BJ/yK* are valuable control samples; use them to study efficiency of almost any analysis cut. • Ali, Kramer, Zhu: m(e+e-) projection: MC BKe+e- J/y and y(2S) veto: MC BKe+e-
