1 Recent results from rare decays Jeroen van Tilburg (Physikalisches Institut Heidelberg) Don t worry about the number of slides: Only half of them is new Advanced topics in Particle Physics: LHC physics, 2011 Jeroen van Tilburg 1/38
2 Recap of last week What we have learned last week: Neutral mesons (K,D,B d,b s ) mix and oscillate. Beautiful example of (fast) B s oscillations: m s =17.77 ± 0.10(stat) ± 0.07 (sys) ps 1 Requires good proper time resolution and tagging of B flavour at production. There are three types of CP violation: CPV in mixing Small in SM (<1%), only observed so far in kaon decays CPV in decay Difficult to extract weak phases due to unknown strong phases and T/P ratio. CPV in interference between mixing and decay Large effects and clean determination of weak angles possible. Example: LHCb s measurement of sin(2β s ) Measured value: φ s =-0.03 ± 0.16(stat) ± 0.07 (sys) SM value: φ s = No large phase from new physics Advanced topics in Particle Physics: LHC physics, 2011 Jeroen van Tilburg 2/38
3 Probes for New Physics searches The aim of heavy flavour physics is to study B and D decays and to look for anomalous effects beyond the Standard Model. Requirements to look for New Physics effects: Should not be ruled out by existing measurements. Prediction from SM should be well known. These requirements are fulfilled for these processes: CP violation Rare decays CP violation and rare decays of B and D hadrons are the main focus of LHCb. Today: Rare decays Advanced topics in Particle Physics: LHC physics, 2011 Jeroen van Tilburg 3/38
4 Introduction to rare decays Flavour changing neutral currents (FCNC) forbidden in SM at tree level. Suppressed at higher order due to GIM mechanism FCNC decays good testing ground for SM. Corresponding decays are always rare (B-mesons < 10-5 ) New particles can appear as virtual particles in box and penguin diagrams. Indirect searches have a high sensitivity to effects from new particles. Good testing ground: b s transitions. B s oscillations box diagram B s φ γ B d,s µ + µ Penguin diagrams B d K * µ + µ b s s b b s b s b s Advanced topics in Particle Physics: LHC physics, 2011 Jeroen van Tilburg 4/38
5 Example: Box diagrams (recap) New particles could enter in the B s box diagram `?? Could affect both amplitude and phase: Δm s = Δm s SM + Δm s NP φ s =φ s SM + φ s NP LHCb s s measurements: Δm s = ± 0.041(stat) ± (sys) ps 1 φ s = ± 0.16(stat) ± 0.07 (sys) Preliminary SM: Δm s =17.3 ± 2.6 ps 1 SM: φ s = ± No hints (yet) for new physics in box diagrams, but still some room left.

6 But there are penguins on the horizon! Advanced topics in Particle Physics: LHC physics, 2011 Jeroen van Tilburg 6/38
7 Quo$ng John Ellis (Wikipedia): The story about penguins Nucl. Phys. B131: Don t try to beat Melissa Franklin at darts Advanced topics in Particle Physics: LHC physics, 2011 Jeroen van Tilburg 7/38
8 Rare decays Just as in the box diagram, new particles can easily enter in the penguin diagram. We can measure branching ratio, polarization, angular distributions. compare with theoretical prediction from SM (if deviation: NP) No problem to calculate the SM Feynman diagrams for the individual quarks, so what is the problem? We don t measure the individual quarks: we measure only hadrons. cannot use perturbation theory to calculate the (soft) QCD effects (hadronic effects) Advanced topics in Particle Physics: LHC physics, 2011 Jeroen van Tilburg 8/38
9 OPE Theoretical approach: Operator Product Expansion + renormalization group equations Basic idea: Energy scale of weak decays is low compared to mass of W (propagator). Absorb W exchange in effective Fermi theory (expansion of W propagator) Full theory (W exchange) Fermi theory Effective fourfermion operator Allows to separate low-energy effects (non-pertubative QCD) and high-energy effects (pertubative QCD + weak interactions + new physics). Advanced topics in Particle Physics: LHC physics, 2011 Jeroen van Tilburg 9/38
10 Effective Hamiltonian CKM elements: for b s : V ts * V tb Wilson coefficients (high energy) Low-energy operators Renormalization scale (µ) (Unphysical) border between the two regimes for B decays: a few GeV (around b-quark mass) Energy scales: Wilson coefficients Operators: decay constants, form factors (large theory uncertainties) Advanced topics in Particle Physics: LHC physics, 2011 Jeroen van Tilburg 10/38
11 Ordering the diagrams Current-current operators: Q 1, Q 2 QCD penguins: Q 3, Q 4, Q 5, Q 6 small Electroweak penguins: Q 7, Q 8, Q 9, Q 10 Electro/Chromo-magnetic penguins: Q 7γ, Q 8 g FCNC operators Box operators: Q ΔS=2, Q ΔB=2 Semi-leptonic operators: Q 9V, Q 10A Advanced topics in Particle Physics: LHC physics, 2011 Jeroen van Tilburg 11/38
12 New physics in b s New physics could show up as: Modified Wilson coefficients new particles in the penguin loop New operators e.g. right-handed currents Three interesting channels: SM operators BR (SM) BR LHCb B s φ γ B d K * µ + µ Q 7γ Q 7 γ,q 9,Q 10 Large theory uncertainties O(20%) (5.7±2.0)x10-5 (1.05±0.15)x10-6 γ polarisation Angular distributions B s µ + µ Q 10 (3.2±0.2)x10-9 < 1.1x10-9 (95%) BR Focus of today Advanced topics in Particle Physics: LHC physics, 2011 Jeroen van Tilburg 12/38
13 Search for B d,s µ + µ Expected BRs Numbers not up-to-date Increasing BR Why are the B d decays suppressed relative to B s? Top quark is dominating in the loop. Cabibbo suppression by factor V td /V ts 2 Why is the BR for taus so much larger than for electrons? Decays are helicity suppressed. Spin of B d,s is zero. One lepton needs helicity flip. Why is the search for B d,s µ + µ most popular? Muons are easiest to reconstruct (taus always give a neutrino) µ R µ + R B µ d,s (s=0) L µ + L Advanced topics in Particle Physics: LHC physics, 2011 Jeroen van Tilburg 13/38
14 Search for B d,s µ + µ The decay B d,s µ + µ provides sensitive probe for New Physics SM diagrams: Only semi-leptonic operator Q 10 (C S and C P are suppressed): b µ + C 10 d,s µ New physics could modify Wilson coefficients C 10, C S, C P (or introduce new operators).
