2 If not the Standard Model, What?
Standard Model predictions validated to high precision, however Standard Model fails to answer many fundamental questions Gravity not a part of the SM What is the very high energy behaviour? At the beginning of the universe? Grand unification of forces? Dark Matter? Astronomical observations of indicate that there is more matter than we see Baryogenesis and Where is the Antimatter? Why is the observed universe mostly matter? Look for new physics that could explain these mysteries Look at weak processes which have often been the most unusual M. Herndon 2

3 A Little History d s Everything started with kaons
Flavor physics is the study of bound states of quarks. Kaon: Discovered using a cloud chamber in by Rochester and Butler. Could decay to pions and had a very long lifetime: sec Bound state of up or down quarks with a new particle: the strange quark! Needed the weak force to understand it’s interactions. Neutron kaons were some of the most interesting kaons What was that new physics? New particles, Rare decays, CP violation, lifetime/decay width differences, oscillations K0 Rich ground for studying new physics s d M. Herndon 3

4 B Hadrons s b b u d New physics and the b Hadrons
Very interesting place to look for new physics(in our time) Higgs physics couples to mass so b hadrons are interesting Same program. New Hadrons, Rare decays, CP violation, , oscillations State of our knowledge on Heavy b Hadrons last year Hints for Bs seen: by UA1 experiment in 1987. Bs andLb Seen: by the LEP experiments and Tevatron Run 1 Some decays seen However Bs oscillation not directly seen  not measured CP violation not directly seen Most interesting rare decays not seen No excited Bs or heavy b baryons observed b s b u d A fresh area to look for new physics!
