Final State Interactions

Dalitz analyses are introduced as the method for studying hadronic decays. An accurate description of hadron final states is critical not only to an understanding of the strong coupling regime of QCD, but also to the precision extraction of CKM matrix elements. The relation of such final state interactions to scattering processes is discussed.

Model Independent

We present a quasi-model-independent search for physics beyond the standard model. We define final states to be studied, and construct a rule that identifies a set of variables appropriate for any particular final state. A new algorithm ("Sleuth") searches for regions of excess in the space of those variables and quantifies the significance of any detected excess. After demonstrating the sensititvity of the method, we apply it to the semi-inclusive channel eμX collected in ≈108 pb -1 of [Formula: see text] collisions at [Formula: see text] at the DØ experiment at the Fermilab Tevatron. We find no evidence of new high pT physics in this sample.

Flavour Violation

Some recent τ-physics results are presented from the BaBar and Belle experiments at the SLAC and KEK B factories, which produce copious numbers of τ-lepton pairs. Measurements of the tau mass and lifetime allow to test lepton universality and CPT invariance, while searches for lepton-flavour violation in tau decays are powerful ways to look for physics beyond the Standard Model. In semihadronic, non-strange tau decays, the vector hadronic final state is particularly important in helping determine the hadronic corrections to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon, while studies of strange final states are the best available ways to measure the CKM matrix element V us and the mass of the strange quark.

Abstract The K → μ+μ− decay is often considered to be uninformative of fundamental theory parameters since the decay is polluted by long-distance hadronic effects. We demonstrate that, using very mild assumptions and utilizing time-dependent interference effects, ℬ(KS → μ+μ−)ℓ=0 can be experimentally determined without the need to separate the ℓ = 0 and ℓ = 1 final states. This quantity is very clean theoretically and can be used to test the Standard Model. In particular, it can be used to extract the CKM matrix element combination $$ \mid {V}_{ts}{V}_{td}\sin \left(\beta +{\beta}_s\right)\mid \approx \mid {A}^2{\lambda}^5\overline{\eta}\mid $$ ∣ V ts V td sin β + β s ∣ ≈ ∣ A 2 λ 5 η ¯ ∣ with hadronic uncertainties below 1%.

We report recent measurements on τ leptons obtained by the BABAR collaboration using the entire recorded sample of electron-positron collisions at and around the Υ(4S) (about 470fb-1). The events were recorded at the PEP-II asymmetric collider at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. The measurements include high multiplicity τ decay branching fractions with 3 or 5 charged particles in the final state, a search for the second class current the τ decay τ → πη′ν, τ branching fractions into final states containing two KS mesons, [Formula: see text], with h = π, K, and preliminary measurements of hadronic spectra of τ decays with three hadrons (τ- → h-h+h-ντ decays, where h = π, K). The results improve the experimental knowledge of the τ lepton properties and can be used to improve the precision tests of the Standard Model.

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 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.

Flavour mixing is described within the Standard Model by the Cabibbo–Kobayashi–Maskawa (CKM) matrix elements. With the increasingly higher statistics collected by many experiments, the matrix elements are measured with improved precision, allowing for more stringent tests of the Standard Model. In this paper, a review of the current status of the absolute values of the CKM matrix elements is presented, with particular attention to the latest measurements.
