Book Description
The authors report preliminary results from a study of the decay B° → {bar D}°??− using a data sample of 470.9 ± 2.8 million B{bar B} events collected with the BABAR detector at the?(4S) resonance. Using the Dalitz-plot analysis technique, they find contributions from the intermediate resonances D*2(2460)−, D*0(2400)−,?(770)° and f2(1270) as well as a?+?− S-wave term, a {bar D}°?− nonresonant S-wave term and a virtual D*(2010) amplitude. They measure the branching fractions of the contributing decays.

Dalitz Analysis of CP Violating Decay B[+-] → (K[-+] Pi[+-] Pi- Pi+) D[0] K[+-] to Determine the Unitary Triangle Angle Γ
Searches for CP Violation in Charmed Meson Decays
Author: Hamish Gordon
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319070673
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 167
Book Description
Our current understanding of the fundamental building blocks of the Universe, summarised by the Standard Model of particle physics, is incomplete. For example, it fails to explain why we do not see equal, or almost equal, numbers of particles and their antiparticle partners. To explain this asymmetry requires, among other effects, a mechanism known as charge-parity (CP) violation that causes differences between the rates at which particles and antiparticles decay. CP violation is seen in systems containing bottom and strange quarks, but not in those with up, charm or top quarks. This thesis describes searches for particle-antiparticle asymmetries in the decay rates of charmed mesons. No evidence of CP violation is found. With current sensitivities, an asymmetry large enough to observe probably could not be explained by the Standard Model. Instead an explanation could come from new physics, for example contributions from supersymmetric or other undiscovered heavy particles. In the thesis, the development of new techniques to search for these asymmetries is described. They are applied to data from the LHCb experiment at CERN to make precise measurements of asymmetries in the D^+->K^-K^+pi^+ decay channel. This is the most promising charged D decay for CP violation searches.

Indirect Searches for New Physics
Author: Alexey A. Petrov
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 1351176005
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 218
Book Description
This is the first book to discuss the search for new physics in charged leptons, neutrons, and quarks in one coherent volume. The area of indirect searches for new physics is highly topical; though no new physics particles have yet been observed directly at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, the methods described in this book will provide researchers with the necessary tools to keep searching for new physics. It describes the lines of research that attempt to identify quantum effects of new physics particles in low-energy experiments, in addition to detailing the mathematical basis and theoretical and phenomenological methods involved in the searches, whilst making a clear distinction between model-dependent and model-independent methods employed to make predictions. This book will be a valuable guide for graduate students and early-career researchers in particle and high energy physics who wish to learn about the techniques used in modern predictions of new physics effects at low energies, whilst also serving as a reference for researchers at other levels. Key features: • Takes an accessible, pedagogical approach suitable for graduate students and those seeking an overview of this new and fast-growing field • Illustrates common theoretical trends seen in different subfields of particle physics • Valuable both for researchers in the phenomenology of elementary particles and for experimentalists

Physics Beyond The Standard Model - Proceedings Of The Fifth International Wein Symposium (Wein '98)
Author: Cyrus M Hoffman
Publisher: World Scientific
ISBN: 9814543799
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 802
Book Description
WEIN '98 focussed on searches for physics beyond the Standard Model of elementary particles at low and medium energies, including theoretical studies in these areas. In addition, selected topics in the physics of the Standard Model, searches for new physics at high energy facilities, and topics in nuclear and particle astrophysics were discussed. The conference was mainly composed of plenary talks reviewing the present status of the field. The proceedings include written versions of these plenary talks plus several invited talks given at the parallel sessions covering specific topics that could not be included in the plenary sessions.

Studies of CP-Violation in Charmless Three-Body b-Hadron Decays
Author: Daniel O'Hanlon
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3030022064
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 225
Book Description
This book highlights two essential analyses of data collected during the LHCb experiment, based on the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. The first comprises the first observation and studies of matter-antimatter asymmetries in two three-body b-baryon decays, paving the way for more precise measurements of the relatively unknown decay properties of b-baryon decays. The second is an analysis of a charged B meson decay to three charged pions, where previously large matter-antimatter asymmetries were observed in a model-independent analysis. Here a model of the decay amplitude is constructed using the unitarity-conserving ‘K-matrix’ model for the scalar contributions, so as to gain an understanding of how the previously observed matter-antimatter asymmetries arise; further, the model’s construction yields the most precise and comprehensive study of this decay mode to date.
