2 Weak eigenstates d' s' b' V CKM Mass eigenstates d s b The CKM Matrix 3x3 unitary matrix 4 parameters: 3 angles and 1 phase The phase is responsible of CP-violation (With exact CPT, CP is equivalent to T, T is a antiunitary operator T V CKM V * CKM which differs from V CKM due to the phase) U L γ μ V V u d D L V CKM W μ First important aim of Flavour Physics: Accurate determination of the CKM parameters At present an accuracy of few % has been achieved!

3 Standard parameterization for a 3x3 unitary matrix V us 0.2 is small, V CKM can be expanded in c s s c 13 O( O( ) ) Expanding up to O( 3 ) and introducing new convenient paramenters (A, ) 2 i 3 s23 A, s13e A ( i ) one gets:

5 To an excellent accuracy: ρ ρ 1 2 λ 2, η η 1 2 λ 2

11 In the era of precision Flavour Physics We have also entered the era of Precision LATTICE QCD Unquenched calculations with relatively low quark masses are now being performed by several groups using different approaches (lattice action, renormalization, ). Crucial when aiming at a percent precision.

12 PRECISION LATTICE QCD: WHY NOW 1)Increasing of computational power (Several machines of O( TeraFlops)) Unquenched simulations QUENCHED UNQUENCHED 2) Algorithmic improvements: Light quark masses in the ChPT regime

16 Lattice QCD THE O(1%) PRECISION CAN BE REACHED D.Becirevic, G.Isidori, V.Lubicz, G.Martinelli, F.Mescia, S.Simula, C.T., G.Villadoro. [NPB 705,339,2005] The basic ingredient is a double ratio of correlation functions [FNAL for B D,D* ] 1% - Good agreement between Nf=2 and 2+1 calculations and the first quenched result -Analytical (model dependent) results slightly higher than Lattice QCD Flavour Lattice Averaging Group (FLAG) [ ] f + (0)=0.956(8) V us =0.225(1)

17 V us /V ud from Kμ2/πμ2 decays V us [Marciano 04] K The lattice determination of f K /f, together with the experimental measurement of the leptonic decay Br s, and with V ud from nucleon beta decays, allows to extract V us

18 f K /f π : LATTICE SUMMARY FLAG f K /f π =1.193(6) V us =0.225(1) FLAG There is no visible difference between N f =2 and 2+1 with present uncertainties Kl3 and Kl2 determinations of V us are in perfect agreement First row unitarity test works well

23 Exclusive vs Inclusive V ub The uncertainty of inclusive V ub estimated from the spread among different models. This is questionable The fit in the SM favors a low value of V ub, as indicated by exclusive decays V ub incl. = (42.0 ± 1.5 ± 5.0) 10-4 V ub excl. = (35.0 ± 4.0) 10-4 Improve the accuracy of exclusive V ub in order to clarify the issue V ub SM-Fit = (35.5 ± 1.4) 10-4

30 ( 3 ) V ub = V ub e -i Determination of from B DK decays: [I.I.Y.Bigi, A.I.Sanda, 1988, A.B.Carter, A.I. Sanda, 1988] B + DK + can produce both D 0 and D 0, via b cus and b ucs D 0 and D 0 can decay to a common final state The two amplitudes interfere with a relative phase B, for B + (B - ) Main contributions from (theoretically clean) tree-level diagrams Remaining theoretical uncertainty from simplifying D-D mixing neglection (irreducile theory error 0.1%) Various methods consider different final states: CP-eigenstates (Gronau,London,Wyler [GLW]) ( + -, K + K -, K S 0, K S, K S ) doubly Cabibbo suppressed D modes (Atwood,Dunietz,Soni [ADS]) (K + -, K + -,K* -, ) three-body D decaying modes (Dalitz plot analysis) (K S + - provides the best estimate at present) [A.Giri, hep-ph/ ] The best strategy is a combined analysis taking into account many D and D* modes

31 The UTA within the Standard Model SM analysis The experimental constraints: ε K, Δm, d Δm Δm V V sin2β, cos2β, α,γ, (2β s d, ub cb γ) relying on theoretical calculations of hadronic matrix elements overconstrain the CKM parameters consistently independent from theoretical calculations of hadronic parameters ρ η ~16% ~ 3% The UTA has established that the CKM matrix is the dominant source of flavour mixing and CP violation

32 From a closer look From the UTA (excluding its exp. constraint) Prediction Measurement Pull sin ± ± ± ±11 < ± ±6.1 <1 V cb ± ± V ub ± ±0.20 <1 K ± ± BR(B ) ± ±

33 K NEWS: Brod&Gorbahn ( ): NNLO QCD analysis of the charm-top contribution in box diagrams (3% enhancement of K), charm-charm contribution in progress NEXT FUTURE: Further few percents could come from dimension-8 operators: ~m K2 /m c2 corrections (calculation in progress)

34 sin The indirect determination of sin(2 turns out to be at ~2.6 from the experimental measurement (the theory error in the extraction from B J K S is well under control)

35 B BR(B SM = ( ) 10-4 [UTfit, update of ] turns out to be smaller by ~3.2 than the experimental value BR(B ) exp = (1.72±0.28) 10-4 The experimental state of the art BaBar Semileptonic tag ( ) BaBar Hadronic tag ( , ) Belle Semileptonic tag ( ) Belle Hadronic tag (hep-ex/ ) [full data set analysis is on the way] BR(B ) exp prefers a large value for V ub (f B under control and improved by the UTA) But a shift in the central value of V ub would not solve the tension the debate on V ub (excl. vs incl, various models ) is not enough to explain all

36 The UTA beyond the Standard Model Update of UTfit Model-independent UTA: bounds on deviations from the SM (+CKM) Parametrize generic NP in F=2 processes, in all sectors Use all available experimental info Fit simultaneously the CKM and NP parameters NP contributions in the mixing amplitudes: s K

37 From this (NP) analysis: ρ η In good agreement with the results from the SM analysis ρ η

38 Results for the K and B d mixing amplitudes For K-K mixing, the NP parameter are found in agreement with the SM expectations For B d -B d mixing, the mixing phase Bd is found 1.8 away from the SM expectation (reflecting the tension in sin2 ) C K C B d , % 0.82, % Φ B d , %

39 Results for the B s mixing amplitude: INTERESTING NEWS NEW QUESTION MARKS In 2009, by combining CDF and DØ results for Bs : UTfit: 2.9 (update of ) HFAG: 2.2 ( ) CKMfitter: 2.5 ( ) Tevatron B w.g.: 2.1 ( More than 2 deviation for every statistical approach! C Φ B 0.63,1.43 B s s % , 5 83, 54 95%

40 In 2010, two surprising news: The new CDF measurement reduces the significance of the deviation. The likelihood is not yet available, a CDF Bayesian study is underway Before it was 1.8 The new DØ measurement of a points to large s but also to large s requiring a non-standard 12?!?!? If confirmed, two (UNLIKELY) explantions: Huge (tree-level-like) NP contributions in 12 (a factor 2.5: why only in 12??) Bad failure of the OPE in 12 (while in 11 (b-hadron lifetimes) works well)

41 Updated Results including NEW DØ results (new CDF results are not yet available) C Φ B 0.78,1.16 B s s 38, % 81, % Deviation from the SM at a and B s J/ point to large but different values of Bs (N.B. the UTA beyond the SM allows for NP in loops only, i.e. tree-level NP in 12 is not allowed) Further confirmations from experiments are looked forward!

42 Are there NP models solving these tensions? What are the effects in Flavour Physics within various NP models? How to search and discriminate them?
