2 2 2 D. Hitlin SLAC B-Day March 20, 2003 Parsing the title of the talk Physics Challenges The improvement of measurement precision is a sufficient motivation for a 10 36 machine, if and only if the improved precision takes us into discovery territory There are indeed areas in which large data samples (10-50 ab -1 ) can lead, with reasonable certainty, to measurable new physics effects, by increasing precision or making certain measurements possible The context is also important What new physics potential exists with a 10-50 ab -1 sample that doesn’t exist with a 0.5-1 ab -1 sample? What can an asymmetric e + e - machine at 10 36 contribute beyond what can be done at hadron experiments ( ATLAS, CMS, LHCb, BTeV )? What is the time window for 10 36 ? Detector Challenges What do we need in a detector to do physics at a 10 36 machine? Should there be an upgrade of B A B AR, or a totally new detector? What R&D is required on new detector subsystems?

3 3 3 D. Hitlin SLAC B-Day March 20, 2003 The New Physics Bible according to Nir CP violation is an excellent probe of new physics The Standard Model CKM mechanism has a single source of CPV and makes quantitative predictions New sources of flavor and CP violation can induce large deviations from the Standard Model predictions, many of which are not obscured by hadronic uncertainties Henceforth in this discussion, I will emphasize the supersymmetric Standard Model as an example, although other extensions of the Standard Model can also produce observable effects The supersymmetric SM has 124 independent parameters, 44 of which are CP- violating What are the constraints of existing measurements of CPV on SUSY model building? What are the prospects that future CPV measurements will uncover deviations from the SM predictions? H aving found that A CP in agrees with CKM prediction, we are beyond the era of seeking alternatives to the CKM phase and must now search for new physics by finding loop corrections to the CKM picture

4 4 4 D. Hitlin SLAC B-Day March 20, 2003 New CP Violating effects must be there CP effects in the flavor sector that are not accounted for by the CKM phase must exist If they do not exist, SUSY and other models constructed with the same motivation will be ruled out The sensitivity required to see these effects can be reached It is possible, though not likely, that SUSY could be discovered through loop effects before there is explicit production of new particles at LHC Assume that evidence for SUSY is found at the LHC or NLC What will we actually know? The masses of some of the SUSY partners: gluino, squark, …….. Something about coupling constants Perhaps the identity of the LSP Even if the first evidence for SUSY comes from LHC, it will be important to study CPV in flavor physics at the scale of 10 10 to 10 11 B decays

8 8 8 D. Hitlin SLAC B-Day March 20, 2003 Constraints on SUSY from existing measurements In order to obey the constraints from K decay: Indirect CPV in and decays: |e| = (2.28  0.02) x 10 -3 Direct CPV in decays: Re |e/e|= (1.66  0.16) x 10 -3 it is necessary to invoke one or more of the following: Heavy squarks: Universality: Alignment: Approximate CP: CPV phases are small All viable models of SUSY-breaking use one or more of these mechanisms Two other measurements: A CP in decay: Im l  K = 0.734  0.054 Limits on EDM’s (through T violation and CPT ) impose serious additional constraints For example, A CP effectively kills Approximate CP models EDM limits imply that the source of CPV beyond the Standard Model in models with minimal flavor violation is Yukawa couplings, which can be flavor dependent

9 9 9 D. Hitlin SLAC B-Day March 20, 2003 Effects of SUSY breaking on CPV in flavor physics Specific models produce specific CPV patterns There are a variety of models of SUSY breaking on the market Many of these models generate specific, calculable CP -violating effects in hadronic and rare B decays Other extensions (extra dimensions, Little Higgs,….) have the same sorts of effects, although they often have distinguishable patterns In order to exploit CP violation as a tool to search for physics beyond the Standard Model we must do two things: Achieve the highest meaningful precision on CPV ( a, b, g ) measurements of the B unitarity triangle This requires several x 10 ab -1 Measure kinematic distributions and CP -violating (and sometimes CP - conserving) asymmetries in very rare decays with branching fractions of <10 -5, both inclusive and exclusive These are decay modes such as where we have at present only a handful of events

10 10 10 D. Hitlin SLAC B-Day March 20, 2003 Probes of new physics - I 1)Measure the CP asymmetry in modes other than that measure sin2 b in the Standard Model Precision of benchmark sin2 b in can improve to the  1% level Expect the same value for “sin2 b ” in “, but different SUSY models can produce different asymmetries A great deal of luminosity is required to make these measurements to meaningful precision

11 11 11 D. Hitlin SLAC B-Day March 20, 2003 From the B A B AR Physics Book (SLAC ‑ R ‑ 504)

12 12 12 D. Hitlin SLAC B-Day March 20, 2003 Variations from SM predictions can be substantial Goto, et al. Three examples mSUGRA SU(5) SUSY GUT with n R U(2)

13 13 13 D. Hitlin SLAC B-Day March 20, 2003 Many CP asymmetries can be changed by SUSY Ciuchini, Franco, Martinelli, Masiero, & Silvestrini r SM r 500 r 250

14 14 14 D. Hitlin SLAC B-Day March 20, 2003 SUSY models are already constrained by A CP, D m, EDM U(2) model of Masiero, et al. There are two real parameters, j and y  j = -0.25, y = 0 j = -0.25, y = -0.25 x j = -0.5, y = -0.25

15 15 15 D. Hitlin SLAC B-Day March 20, 2003 Other Standard Model extensions also change CPV Correction to SM prediction Effective SUSY Enhanced chromo- magnetic dipole SUSY without R-parity Grossman and Worah

16 16 16 D. Hitlin SLAC B-Day March 20, 2003 An example: CP in The fact that the CP asymmetry in is so close to the Standard Model prediction tells us that new CP -violating contributions to b  d transitions (via ) are small The fact that is close to the Standard Model value tells us that the helicity-conserving part of is small. The helicity-changing part of, i.e., and could still be large and enter the supersymmetric gluonic penguin that contributes to This produces a series of inter-related constraints: Chang, Masiero, Murayama: Change in B(b  s g ) A CP f K S D m s

17 17 17 D. Hitlin SLAC B-Day March 20, 2003 B A B AR f K S results N cand = 66 Purity = 50% 81.3 fb -1

18 18 18 D. Hitlin SLAC B-Day March 20, 2003 Current A CP ( f K s ) has large errors, but opposite sign Interesting, but not yet a persuasive case for new physics Pure CKM forbidden penguin amplitude

19 19 19 D. Hitlin SLAC B-Day March 20, 2003 CP violation in modes that measure “ sin2 b ” ” Decay modeB x 10 -6 Decay process SC 440 0.734  0.054 | l |=0.95  0.04 29 0.76  0.36-0.26  0.22 4 -0.39  0.410.56  0.43 20 -0.46  0.490.31  0.29 100 0.31  0.46 | l |=0.98  0.27 It is certainly premature to draw any conclusions about disparities. One mode is clean: f K S. Branching ratio is small. Could a statistically persuasive case for a different A CP from J/ y K S be made?

20 20 20 D. Hitlin SLAC B-Day March 20, 2003 What level of precision is required ? Statistical/systematic error on sin2 b from will improve to somewhat beyond the 1% level. More than adequate SUSY effects on sin2 b in other modes can be quite large, tens of percent of the CKM value With what precision must one measure sin2 b in other, more difficult decay modes in order to establish an effect? An example: sin2 b ( ) = 0.75 (its current value), but the error is reduced to 1%, s = 0.0075, sin2 b ( ) = 0.60, i.e., the SUSY contribution to is 20% For a 5 sigma effect: D sin2 b = 0.15/5 = 0.03, a 5% measurement This requires a data sample of the size provided by a 10 36 asymmetric B Factory

21 21 21 D. Hitlin SLAC B-Day March 20, 2003 Extrapolated statistical errors on CP asymmetries 10 to 50 ab -1 are required for a meaningful comparison Current precision B A B AR measurement errors

29 29 29 D. Hitlin SLAC B-Day March 20, 2003 The B beam technique Reconstruct a very large sample of of hadronic decays at the Y(4S) In 10 ab -1, there are 4 x 10 7 fully reconstructed B ’s in which the four momentum of the recoil is known Use this sample to study semileptonic decays and rare (inclusive) decays The B beam technique, unique to e + e -, sacrifices statistics, but Improves kinematics – reducing model dependence in | V ub | and | V cb | studies Reduces background for rare decays, especially those involving photons and neutrinos

35 35 35 D. Hitlin SLAC B-Day March 20, 2003 Improvement of UT measurements can test the SM (Buras) Optimal Unitarity Triangle Test Improve measurements of | V ub | and | V cb |, which are essentially independent of new physics contributions This is best done at a 10 36 B Factory using the “ B beam” technique Measure D m s – domain of hadron machines Improve theory estimates: | V ub |, | V cb |, and This yields a prediction for g, which is measurable both at a B Factory and in hadron experiments Test of the mixing matrix element With the above and with improved knowledge of e K and D m d, we have the best possible prediction of the mixing matrix element and thus of m t, which can be compared with improved direct measurements

36 36 36 D. Hitlin SLAC B-Day March 20, 2003 Simulations of more of these measurements are needed Calculations needed at 10 and 50 ab -1 How well can we measure V ub with the recoil technique f B with recoil technique a g A FB in s + - or K (*) + - vs B ( B  rg ) mixing B( t  mg ) PRAVDA Monte Carlo tool with a 10 36 -capable detector is nearly ready for these studies

37 37 37 D. Hitlin SLAC B-Day March 20, 2003 Statistics and systematics Nearly all important CPV measurements will remain statistics limited Certain measurements, such as A CP in will be systematics limited at below the ~1% level Other measurements, such as the extraction of sin2 a or V ub will be limited by theory Many of the most interesting measurements will be limited by statistics and backgrounds This leads to the question of whether an upgraded detector can do better than a extrapolation would indicate Does improved momentum resolution and improved particle ID lead to a better measurement of S pp by improving S/B ? Does improved photon energy and angular resolution lead to a better measurement of tagged ? Does longitudinal segmentation in the EMC lead to better p / e separation and thus better tagging?

46 46 46 D. Hitlin SLAC B-Day March 20, 2003 There is an upgrade path from B A B AR to Super B A B AR If it were feasible to modify the existing B A B AR detector for use at a 10 36 machine, there would be substantial savings in time, money and effort over a completely new detector Upgrading the existing detector is beneficial in Reducing costs by reuse of detector components and existing IR infrastructure Use of existing software as a basis for new programs Packaging an attractive proposal for funding agencies An affordable, fast, radiation hard electromagnetic calorimeter is the key to the morphing of B A B AR into Super B A B AR An LXe EMC fits into the existing B A B AR solenoid/flux return There is a substantial cost saving over most crystals Tracking with pixels/strips and a compact readout DIRC are compatible with this design

Hitlin SLAC B-Day March 20, 2003 The MSSM (Minimal Symbolic Straw Man) Upgrade Detector This B A B AR upgrade design has not been optimized It is certainly possible to improve upon this design This will be among the first orders of business when the physics foundation for 10 36 has been solidified We are currently implementing this design into a fast Monte Carlo called PRAVDA Implementation includes the flexibility to Vary parameters within a detector subsystem Swap technologies for a given subsystem TRACKERR package (complete error matrix) for vertex/tracking with an all silicon tracker has been implemented Use parameterized descriptions for PID, EMC and IFR A shower library is also under development for the EMC

Yes, drawn from the B A B AR and Belle communities + others Can we obtain funding for a 10 36 collider and detector ? Not certain, but possible, given the appropriate circumstances What is the appropriate time window for a 10 36 machine ? It should ideally take data on a time scale comparable to the LHC experiments ( ATLAS, CMS, LHCb ) and, potentially BTeV The HEPAP-mandated P5 is currently making decisions involving major new US facilities Its first round includes a decision on BTeV

Hitlin SLAC B-Day March 20, 2003 Super B Factory activity at KEK, SLAC The Directors of SLAC and KEK have encouraged cooperation between B A B AR ians and Bellies on future activities, since they believe that “there will be at most one new high luminosity B Factory” Both Directors agree that “high luminosity” means 10 36 The core of a Super B Factory effort will likely be drawn from the B A B AR and Belle Collaborations Accelerator and detector R&D is underway in both labs and at several of the collaborating institutions Workshops KEK has held four workshops (the most recent on February 4) There will be a workshop at SLAC on May 8-10 to explore in detail opportunities to probe physics beyond the Standard Model at a 10 36 asymmetric B Factory There will be an ICFA Accelerator Workshop at SLAC in October, focusing on very high luminosity e + e - circular machines

63 63 63 D. Hitlin SLAC B-Day March 20, 2003 The Physics Challenge There is a substantial difference in the discovery potential of a 0.5-1 ab -1 data sample and a 10-50 ab -1 data sample With this large data sample we will 1.by measuring CP asymmetries and kinematic distributions in rare decays: either find clear SUSY effects and make the first measurement of a SUSY phase, or place highly constraining limits on SUSY-breaking models 2.take the various overconstrained tests of the Standard Model using the Unitarity Triangle to their systematic limit 3. produce the most sensitive probes for new physics through mixing searches for lepton flavor violation in t  mg

64 64 64 D. Hitlin SLAC B-Day March 20, 2003 The Detector Challenge In order to do physics at 10 36, we must develop thin, rad hard pixel and double-sided strip detectors and associated readout a particle ID system, such as the DIRC with pixel PMT readout and no SOB, that can take high rates a high quality, fast, rad-hard electromagnetic calorimeter an IFR that can handle high rates an appropriate trigger/DAQ system R&D is either starting or is underway in many of these areas

Hitlin SLAC B-Day March 20, 2003 Conclusions Detailed studies of CP violation in B meson decay (and D and t decay) with samples of 10-50 ab -1 provide a sensitive probe of to new physics such as SUSY These studies are vital to an understanding of the flavor sector of any extension of the Standard Model Estimates of physics capabilities of a Super B Factory are promising Detailed studies of machine and physics backgrounds and of limiting systematic errors for the experiment are underway Capabilities of a Super B Factory are complementary to those of hadronic experiments Both e + e - and hadronic experiments are needed to fully explore the realm of flavor physics
