3 Testing the Standard Model Current indirect constraints (95% CL): 19.4 < β < < < < γ < 80 A. Hoecker et al, Eur Phys Journal, C21(2001) B factories aim to measure all 3 angles and so over-constrain the triangle

7 Constraining the Penguins Decays π + π, π + π 0, π 0 π 0 related by isospin (Gronau, London) 3 decays depend on 2 amplitudes 2 triangles (for B and B) (1/ 2)A(B 0 π + π ) + A(B 0 π 0 π 0 ) = A(B + π + π 0 ) ~ (1/ 2)A(B 0 ~ π + π ) + A(B 0 ~ π 0 π 0 ) = A(B π π 0 ) Neglecting EW penguins B π + π 0 is pure tree: A(B + ~ π + π 0 ) = A(B π π 0 ) Triangles with common side Measure decays of B 0 /B 0 and B + /B Triangle relations allow penguin-induced shift to be measured 2 eff = 2 + κ ππ

8 Particle Identification BaBar: de/dx, DIRC Belle: de/dx, TOF, aerogel cerenkov Motivation: B(B 0 K + π ) 4 B(B 0 π + π ) Using PID detectors Belle: optimised cuts on likelihoods BaBar: use θ c to fit ππ and πk simultaneously

9 Continuum Background Suppression Discriminating variables: Event Shape Differences: E = E * B E * beam BB event: spherical Continuum event: jet-like Used in several ways m ES = E *2 beam p*2 B Fox-Wolfram Moments Legendre Polynomials (momentum, angle) Thrust angle differences (candidate vs Rest of Event) Thrust angle wrt beam direction Combine in Fisher discriminant, Likelihood, NN

10 h + h Branching Fractions BaBar: Loose selection on F, m ES, E Simultaneous fit for ππ, Kπ, KK using m ES, E, F, θ c Belle: Select on L, PID, 3σ cuts on m ES, E Obtain yield from fit to E Kπ ππ B(B 0 π + π ) = (4.7 ± 0.6 ± 0.2) 10 6 B(B 0 K + π ) = (17.9 ± 0.9 ± 0.7) 10 6 B(B 0 K + K ) < % CL B(B 0 π + π ) = (4.4 ± 0.6 ± 0.3) 10 6 B(B 0 K + π ) = (18.5 ± 1.0 ± 0.7) 10 6 B(B 0 K + K ) < % CL

11 γ β h + h CP asymmetries Fit m ES, E, F, Θ c, t for S ππ, C ππ Fit m ES, E, t for S ππ, C ππ B 0 tags 0 B tags B 0 tags B 0 tags S ππ = 0.40 ± 0.22 ± 0.03 C ππ = 0.19 ± 0.19 ± 0.05 S ππ = 1.23 ± C ππ = 0.77 ± 0.27 ± 0.08 Averages: S ππ = 0.58 ± 0.20 C ππ = 0.38 ± 0.16 χ 2 = 6.1 (CL = 0.047)

12 Completing the triangles: B ± π ± π 0 Similar Analyses: Three-body feedthrough (B ρπ) a bigger issue. Suppress using tigher E cuts BaBar: B(B 0 π + π ) = ( ± 0.6) 10 6 Belle: B(B 0 π + π 0 ) = (5.3 ± 1.3 ± 0.5) 10 6 ρ + π No evidence for direct CP violation

13 Completing the Triangles: B 0 π 0 π 0 New BaBar Result (Belle result reported in a previous talk) based on BB events Challenges Lower efficiency, worse resolution Backgrounds: continuum, B + ρ + π 0 Techniques Fit uses m ES, E, F (L 0, L 2, NN). m ES and E correlated, so use 2D PDF Cross-check using cut and count analysis Results Yield = 46 ±13 ± 3 events B(B 0 π 0 π 0 ) = (2.1 ± 0.6 ± 0.3) 10 6

14 B ππ Branching Fractions Branching Fractions 10 6 Mode BaBar Belle Average π + π 4.7 ± 0.6 ± ± 0.6 ± ± 0.4 π + π ± ± 1.3 ± ± 0.8 π 0 π ± 0.6 ± ± 0.6 ± ± 0.47 Isospin analysis Need much more data B(B 0 π 0 π 0 ) & B(B 0 π 0 π 0 ) Grossman-Quinn Bound: sin 2 B(B 0 /B 0 π 0 π 0 ) ( eff ) < B(B ± π ± π 0 ) Using above average BFs get: eff < 90% CL Not a very useful constraint

15 B ππ: Constraints on Isospin analysis does not yet constrain significantly Assuming SU(3) symmetry, use B K + π to estimate penguins in B π + π Use B + K 0 π + to estimate penguins in B π + π, including SU(3)-breaking corrections Use QCD factorisation to predict complex P/T ratio model-dependent constraints Source: HFAG All models completely consistent with CKM fit

16 γ β Measuring using B ρπ Not a CP eigenstate. More observables than ππ: ρ ± h f ( t) = (1 ± A CP (ρh) h)) e t /τ [1 + (S ρh ± S ρh ) sin( m t) (C ρh ± C ρh ) cos( m t))] B 0 ρ ± h f ( t) = (1 ± A CP (ρh) h)) e t /τ [1 (S ρh ± S ρh ) sin( m t) + (C ρh ± C ρh ) cos( m t))] B 0 Charge Asymmetry (direct CP): A CP (ρh) = Direct CP violation: Direct CP violation: C ρh N(ρ + h ) N(ρ h + ) N(ρ + h ) + N(ρ h + ) Interference between decay and mixing: S ρh Dilution factors: C ρh & S ρh (non-cp) Summing over ρ charges A ρπ (B 0 /B 0 ) S ρπ sin( m d t) C ρπ cos( m d t)

21 Interpretation: Direct CP violation Re-parameterise results Consider pairs CP conjugate decays: B 0 ρ + π & B 0 ρ π + B 0 ρ π + & B 0 ρ + π Re-interpret fit results in terms of asymmetries between these pairs A + = N(B0 ρ + π ) N(B 0 ρ π + ) N(B 0 ρ + π ) + N(B 0 ρ π + ) A + = N(B0 ρ π + ) N(B 0 ρ + π ) N(B 0 ρ π + ) + N(B 0 ρ + π ) = ± = 0.18 ± 0.13 ± 0.05 CL for no direct CP = 1.5%

22 Next Steps Results so far: Measurements favour non-zero direct CP Next steps: Isospin analysis more complicated than ππ relations = pentagons does not constrain /φ 2 yet π + π π 0 Dalitz plot analysis potential to measure Penguin/Tree amplitudes, unambiguously resolve difficult, will need much more data

23 B ρρ Two polarisation states possible: Decay to Decay to ρ L ρ L (mixed CP) (CP even) or (CP even) or ρ T ρ T CP analysis simplified if one amplitude dominates Expect f L = Γ L /(Γ L +Γ T ) ~ 1 Ο(m 2 ρ/m 2 B) Experimentally: Determine fractions from angular distributions & correlations of ρ decays 1 Γ d 2 Γ 9 1 = { (1 f d cosθ 1 d cosθ L ) sin 2 θ 1 sin 2 θ 2 + f L cos 2 θ 1 cos 2 θ 2 } Efficiencies differ for ρ and ρ L T

34 Measuring γ using B 0 D ( ) π Time Evolution: P(B 0 D P(B 0 D π ±, t) = Ne Γ t (1 ± C cos( m d t) + S π ±, t) = Ne Γ t (1 C cos( m d t) S sin( m d t) ) sin( m d t) ) & similar equations for D π C = 1 r r 2 S = 2r sin(2β + γ ± δ) 1 + r 2 So to determine 2β+γ and δ must determine r and measure S for B 0 and B 0 (will be left with 4-fold ambiguity on 2β+γ)

35 Technique 1: Full Reconstruction Clean, but (relatively) low statistics BaBar (81 fb 1 ): Dπ: 5207 ± 87 candidates, 85% purity D*π: 4746 ± 78 candidates, 94% purity Belle (140 fb 1 ): Dπ: 8375 candidates, 88% purity D*π: 7556 candidates, 95% purity Fit t for different signal/tag charge combinations

38 BaBar's Interpretation Combining full and partial recon Use r from BaBar studies of B 0 D s ( ) π: r D = r D* = assume 30% additional theoretical uncertainty sin(2 β + γ ) > 68.3% C.L. sin(2 β + γ ) > 90% C.L. sin(2 β + γ ) = % χ 2 minimisation used to estimate sin(2β+γ) & δ χ 2 highly non-parabolic, so use toy MC approach to estimate limits

39 Constraints in (ρ, η) ) plane Assuming r values (and using 30% theoretical uncertainties)

40 Summary No strong constraints on yet Model-dependent analyses limit range, but need verification B ρρ promising Long-term, redundancy between ππ, ρπ, ρρ encouraging Beginning to see constraints on γ Long way from a precise measurement Different approaches already showing promise Need more data B factories working hard to provide An interesting few years ahead
