- Rare B Decays
- Polarization in B     V V
- Future Prospects

## Introduction

- B-physics is:
- Study of the Weak Decays
- Test the CKM Mechanism
- Study b-mesons and b-barions spectroscopy: Bs, b, Bc
- Look for New Physics in Rare Decays
- e.g. B0, Bs      or e
- Quantitative study of QCD
- mb >> QCD implies that inclusive production can be computed through Perturbation Theory
- Probe gluon structure function
- Also perform non-perturbative measurements like lifetimes, BF and production fractions.

## Introduction

- Tevatron Advantage
- Large production:
- 
- All b-hadron states produced:
- Bu,Bd,Bs,Bc,b
- Tevatron disadvantage:
- Large Background (in~ 1000 x bb)
- b-production peaked at low pt
- Unknown initial state
- Experimental Strategies:
- Specialized triggers
- dilepton & single lepton
- J/’ from (ee, B mixing from (e, ee, 
- b-hadron semileptonic decays
- Precise Secondary Vertex reconstruction

## b-physics at the Tevatron

- Examples of Run I b-physics results from CDF

## b-Mixing and CP Violation 

- SM with 3 generations and mixing among the quark families (mass eigenstates  weak eigenstates) can accomodate CP violation** **if the complex phase in the unitary mixing matrix  is  0CP.
**	**
**	**
- In the B0d,s case, like in the Ks system,higher order weak interactions mix meson and anti-mesons states.

## CP violation can be manifested as:
CP violation in the decay if |A(f)/A(f)| = 1
CP violation in the mixing if the neutral mass eigenstates are not CP eigenstates (|q/p| = 1)
CP violation in the interference between decays with and without mixing
Vtd introduces a complex phase in the box diagram and the interference between the two terms leads to a time dependent asymmetry

**b-Mixing and CP Violation **

- CP violation can be manifested as:
- CP violation in the decay if |A(f)/A(f)| = 1
- CP violation in the mixing if the neutral mass eigenstates are not CP eigenstates (|q/p| = 1)
- CP violation in the interference between decays with and without mixing
- Vtd introduces a complex phase in the box diagram and the interference between the two terms leads to a time dependent asymmetry
- Golden mode:

## Time integrated ACP does not vanish at hadron colliders (since the B0B0 system is not produced in a coherent state)

				PDG 98

A measurement of the proper time dependence of ACP(t) is preferable
more statistical power
reduces effect of combinatorial background at small t

**b-Mixing and CP Violation **

## Measurement of ACP(t) requires 3 pieces of information for each decaying meson:
Signal Reconstruction
Flavor of original meson
Use flavor tagging
Proper time of decay
Reconstruct the B vertex
Tagging algorithms characterized by efficiency  and dilution D
AobsCP= D ACP
D = dilution
Ntot=Total number of events
NW=Number of wrong tags
NR=number of right tags
D=2P-1 (P=prob. of a ccorrect tag)
Best tagging has highest D2

**b-Mixing and CP Violation **

**Opposite Side Lepton and/or Kaon tagging****  ****(OST)**
- Use decay of the away side B-hadron
**Opposite Side Jet-Charge tagging**
- Reconstruct the away-side B-hadron and use statistical methods to determine the flavor
**Same Side tagging (SST)**
- Uses correlation with p produced along with the B-hadron being tagged
- Correlation from the B** and fragmentation

## Same Side Tagging
uses correlation between the charge of the nearby p and the b quark charge due to fragmentation or B** production 
Gronau, Nippe, Rosner
+ (K+) tags a B0 and a - (K-) tags a B0
better acceptance (efficiency) than OST
