2 Outline Introduction: Why semileptonic B decays? CP violation Unitarity Triangle V ub vs. sin2β V ub from inclusive b ulv decays Measurements: lepton energy, hadron mass, lepton-neutrino mass Theoretical challenge: Shape function V ub from exclusive b ulv decays Measurements: B πlv Theoretical challenge: Form factors Summary LNS Colloquium 2004 M. Morii, Harvard 2

3 History of CP Violation (1) 1964: Cronin & Fitch discover CPV K L (thought to be CP = 1) decayed into π + π (CP = +1) 1973: Kobayashi-Maskawa mechanism proposed g Vud Vus Vub dl u c t µ L L L Vcd Vcs V s W + L = γ cb L 2 hc µ + Vtd Vts V tb b L Unitary matrix V CKM translates mass and weak basis 3 real parameters + 1 complex phase ( ).. The only source of CPV in the Minimal SM 1974: charm quark, 1975: τ lepton, 1977: bottom quark LNS Colloquium 2004 M. Morii, Harvard 3

4 History of CP Violation (2) 1970s 90s: CPV in K 0 -K 0 mixing (ε) studied in great details ~1999: Direct CPV in K 0 decays (ε') confirmed KM mechanism most likely explanation 1999: BABAR and Belle start taking data 2001: CPV in B 0 decays (sin2β) measured Agrees with expectation from the KM mechanism Kobayashi-Maskawa mechanism is likely the dominant source of the CP violation observed in the lab Is it the sole source? LNS Colloquium 2004 M. Morii, Harvard 4

5 Quantitative Test CKM matrix has 4 free parameters V 1 λ Aλ ( ρ iη) CKM = λ 1 2 λ Aλ + O( λ ) 3 2 Aλ ( 1 ρ iη) Aλ All but the two smallest elements V ub and V td are well measured In order to test the KM-only hypothesis: λ Interpret measurements assuming the minimal SM is correct Either CPV or non-cpv as long as they are sensitive to V ub and V td Turn them into constraints on (ρ, η) and compare It would be nice to express this graphically 1 Wolfenstein parameterization LNS Colloquium 2004 M. Morii, Harvard 5

6 Unitarity Triangle V CKM is unitary VV + VV + VV = 0 ud ub cd cb td tb This is neatly represented by the familiar Unitarity Triangle VV ud VV cd ub cb η γ ρ V V = 1 CKM CKM α β VV td VV cd tb cb 1 VV td α = arg VudV VcdV β = arg VV td VudV γ = arg VcdV * tb * ub * cb * tb * ub * cb Each measurement constrains the apex position (ρ, η) The only complex phases of O(1) in the minimal SM LNS Colloquium 2004 M. Morii, Harvard 6

7 Consistency Test Compare the measurements (contours) on the (ρ, η) plane If the SM is the whole story, they must all overlap The tells us this is true as of today Still large enough for New Physics to hide Precision of sin2β outstripped the other measurements Must improve the others to make more stringent test LNS Colloquium 2004 M. Morii, Harvard 7

8 Next Step: V ub Zoom in to see the overlap of the other contours It s obvious: we must make the green ring thinner Left side of the Triangle is VV VV ud ub cd cb Uncertainty dominated by ~15% on V ub Measurement of V ub is complementary to sin2β Goal: Accurate determination of both V ub and sin2β LNS Colloquium 2004 M. Morii, Harvard 8

9 Measuring V ub Best probe: semileptonic b u decay b V ub The problem: b clv decay u ν Tree level decoupled from hadronic effects 2 GF Γ( b u ν ) = V 2 ub m 192π 2 5 b Γ( b u ν ) V 1 Γ ub 2 ( b c ν ) V 50 cb 2 How can we suppress 50 larger background? LNS Colloquium 2004 M. Morii, Harvard 9

10 Detecting b ulv Inclusive: Use m u << m c difference in kinematics Maximum lepton energy 2.64 vs GeV First observations (CLEO, ARGUS, 1990) used this technique Only 6% of signal accessible How accurately do we know this fraction? Exclusive: Reconstruct final-state hadrons B πlv, B ρlv, B ωlv, B ηlv, Example: the rate for B πlv is dγ( B π ν) dq G 24π 2 F = ub π + V p f ( q ) How accurately do we know the FFs? 2 b c b u Form Factor (3 FFs for vector mesons) E LNS Colloquium 2004 M. Morii, Harvard 10

11 Inclusive b ulv There are 3 independent variables in B Xlv Take E l, q 2 (lepton-neutrino mass 2 ), and m X (hadronic mass) 2 E q ν 6% 20% m X 70% Technique Efficiency Theoretical Error E l Straightforward Low Large q 2 Complicated Moderate Moderate m X Complicated High Large Where does it come from? LNS Colloquium 2004 M. Morii, Harvard 11

12 Theoretical Issues Tree level rate must be corrected for QCD Operator Product Expansion gives us the inclusive rate Expansion in α s (m b ) (perturbative) and 1/m b (non-perturbative) G Γ( B X ν ) = u 2 F V 2 5 ub mb s 1 O 3 192π b B α 9λ2 λ π 2mb V ub u X u ν known to O(α s2 ) Suppressed by 1/m b 2 Main uncertainty (±10%) from m b5 ±5% on V ub But we need the accessible fraction (e.g., E l > 2.3 GeV) of the rate LNS Colloquium 2004 M. Morii, Harvard 12

13 Shape Function OPE doesn t work everywhere in the phase space OK once integrated Doesn t converge, e.g., near the E l end point Resumming turns non-perturb. terms into a Shape Function b quark Fermi motion parallel to the u quark velocity Smears the quark-level distribution observed spectra Rough features (mean, r.m.s.) are known ( ) f k + Details, especially the tail, are unknown 0 Λ= M m B b k + LNS Colloquium 2004 M. Morii, Harvard 13

14 Shape Function What to Do? Measure: Same SF affects (to the first order) b sγ decays Measure E γ spectrum in b sγ Caveat: whole E γ spectrum is needed Only E γ > 1.8 GeV has been measured Background overwhelms lower energies Compromise: assume functional forms of f(k + ) Example: Extract f(k + ) Predict E l spectrum in b ulv a (1 + a) x k+ ( ) (1 ) ; Fit b sγ spectrum to determine the parameters Try different functions to assess the systematics parameters f k+ = N x e x= Λ (Λ and a) to fit E γ LNS Colloquium 2004 M. Morii, Harvard 14

15 CLEO hep-ex/ SF from b sγ Belle hep-ex/ CLEO and Belle has measured the b sγ spectrum Belle f ( k + ) E γ Fit 3 models tried BABAR result on the way Statistical errors dominate the uncertainty around the peak Model dependence important in the tail LNS Colloquium 2004 M. Morii, Harvard 15

16 Predicting b ulv Spectra OPE + SF can predict triple-differential rate De Fazio, Neubert (JHEP 9906:017) 3 d Γ B Xu 2 de dmxdq ( ν ) Every experiment uses DFN for simulating b ulv signal 2 E q ν 6% 20% m X 70% Unreliable in the SF region where OPE converges poorly Small m X and small q 2 X is jet-like The right tool: Soft Collinear Effective Theory LNS Colloquium 2004 M. Morii, Harvard 16

17 Soft Collinear Effective Theory Developed since 2001 by Bauer, Fleming, Luke, Pirjol, Stewart PRD63:014006, PRD63:114020, PRD65: Applied to b ulv in the SF region by several groups Bauer, Manohar (PRD70:034024) Bosch, Lange, Neubert, Paz (NPB699:335) Lee, Stewart (hep-ph/ ) Caveat: Works only in the SF region We tried implementing an event generator with limited success Wanted: Theoretically-sound b ulv Monte Carlo generator THAT WORKS LNS Colloquium 2004 M. Morii, Harvard 17

Morii, Harvard 23

24 Extracting b ulv Signal Fit m X to extract B(B X u lv) Best variable for charm rejection Best statistical error Strong shape-function dependence Fit m X vs. q 2 to extract B(B X u lv) Restrict to, e.g., m X < 1.7 GeV, q 2 > 8 GeV 2 Reduced shape-function dependence Unfold detector effects to get true m X spectrum Limited statistical power Potential for constraining shape function LNS Colloquium 2004 M.

32 Form Factors Form Factors are calculated using: Lattice QCD (q 2 > 16 GeV 2 ) Existing calculations are quenched ~15% uncertainty Light Cone Sum Rules (q 2 < 16 GeV 2 ) Assumes local quark-hadron duality ~10% uncertainty Other approaches All of them have uncontrolled uncertainties LQCD and LCSR valid in different q 2 ranges No crosscheck Unquenched LQCD starts to appear Preliminary B πlv FF from FNAL+MILC (hep-lat/ ), HPQCD (hep-lat/ ) Current technique cannot do B ρlv LNS Colloquium 2004 M.
