Flavour Violation

We review the status of rare decays and CP violation in extensions of the Standard Model. We analyze the determination of the unitarity triangle and the model-independent constraints on new physics that can be derived from this analysis. We find stringent bounds on new contributions to [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] mixing, pointing either to models of minimal flavour violation or to models with new sources of flavour and CP violation in b → s transitions. We discuss the status of the universal unitarity triangle in minimal flavour violation, and study rare decays in this class of models. We then turn to supersymmetric models with nontrivial mixing between second and third generation squarks, discuss the present constraints on this mixing and analyze the possible effects on CP violation in b → s nonleptonic decays and on [Formula: see text] mixing. We conclude presenting an outlook on Lepton-Photon 2009.

Wrong Sign

Recent results on mixing, CP violation and rare decays in charm physics from the LHCb experiment are presented. Study of "wrong-sign" D0 → K+π- decays provides the highest precision measurements to date of the mixing parameters x′2 and y′, and of CP violation in this decay mode. Direct and indirect CP violation in the D0 system are probed to a sensitivity of around 10-3 using D0 → K+K− and D0 → π+π− decays and found to be consistent with zero. Searches for the rare decays [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and D0 → μ+μ− find no evidence of signal, but set the best limits on branching fractions to date. Thus, despite many excellent results in charm physics from LHCb, no evidence for physics beyond the Standard Model is found.

The Standard Model

This review paper stresses the possible connection between time-reversal violation and new physics processes beyond the standard model. In particular, this violation is proposed as an alternative to CP violation in the search for such unkown processes. Emphasis is put on the weak decays of heavy hadrons, especially beauty ones. Specific methods for extracting useful parameters from experimental data are elaborated in order to test TR symmetry. These methods could be used successfully in the analysis of the LHC data.

The Spectator

The Belle II experiment at the SuperKEKB collider is a major upgrade of the KEK “B factory” facility in Tsukuba, Japan. The machine is designed for an instantaneous luminosity of [Formula: see text], and the experiment is expected to accumulate a data sample of about 50 ab[Formula: see text]. With this amount of data, decays sensitive to physics beyond the Standard Model can be studied with unprecedented precision. One promising set of modes are physics processes with missing energy such as [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text] decays. The [Formula: see text] decay provides one of the cleanest experimental probes of the flavour-changing neutral current process [Formula: see text], which is sensitive to physics beyond the Standard Model. However, the missing energies of the neutrinos in the final state makes the measurement challenging and requires full reconstruction of the spectator [Formula: see text] meson in [Formula: see text] events. This report discusses the expected sensitivities of Belle II for these rare decays.

The Status

The role of charm in testing the Standard Model description of quark mixing and CP violation through measurements of lifetimes, decay constants and semileptonic form factors is reviewed. Together with Lattice QCD, charm has the potential this decade to maximize the sensitivity of the entire flavor physics program to new physics and pave the way for understanding physics beyond the Standard Model at the LHC in the coming decade. The status of indirect searches for physics beyond the Standard Model through charm mixing, CP-violation and rare decays is also reported.
