Indirect searches

  • Two routes to success

➡ Rare processes

  • Rare and forbidden decays
  • Small asymmetries

➡ High-precision measurements

  • f well-known processes
  • Large asymmetries
  • Symmetry tests: e.g. lepton

Measuring γ

  • Essentially measuring the phase of

Vub

  • Least well measured CKM angle
  • Measure CP violation in 


B(s)→D(s)hX decays

  • CP violation requires the 


interference of two amplitudes

  • Many different methods

➡ Combinations of B

 and time-dependent

A multitude of methods

  • Methods for B

(0,-)→Dh (h=π,K,K *) decays

➡ Observables are time-integrated ratios of rates and rate asymmetries

  • ADS

➡ Measure favoured B decay with doubly Cabibbo-suppressed D decay and vice versa

  • GLW

➡ Measure favoured/suppressed B decays with D decaying into CP eigenstate

  • GGSZ

➡ Measure favoured/suppressed B decays with D decaying into multi-body final state including Dalitz analysis

  • In addition using Bs→DsK decays

➡ Need to perform time-dependent measurement of rates and asymmetries

CP violation in mixing

  • Look for B̅→l+ decays

➡ Forbidden directly, requires B̅→B oscillation

  • Measure asymmetry of B̅→l+ and B→l- rates

➡ CP violation in mixing

  • SM expectation far below current sensitivity
  • Can measure this separately for Bd and Bs mesons

➡ Separate access to Asl(Bd) & Asl(BS)

  • Alternatively look for same-sign lepton pairs and compare l+l+ with l-l-

➡ Measures combination of Asl(Bd) & Asl(BS)

Latest results

  • D0 dimuon measurement differs from

SM by about 3σ ➡ Difficult to motivate by non-SM physics

  • Direct measurements of asl(Bd) & asl(BS)

show agreement with SM

  • Possible differences in SM contribution

to observables?

  • LHCb has best single measurement of

asl(Bd) and asl(Bs) ➡ Latest: asl(Bs)=(0.39±0.26±0.20)%

LHCb upgrade

  • With increased luminosity hadron channels would saturate

➡ Limited by hardware trigger

  • Upgrade to allow full detector readout at 40 MHz and increased luminosity: collect ~8fb
  • 1 per year

➡ Requires several new detectors (all tracking plus RICH) 
 and new readout electronics otherwise

  • Full software trigger

➡ Massively improved trigger efficiencies ➡ Offline quality reconstruction in trigger

  • Major construction project

➡ Vertex Locator and RICH built in UK

  • Maintain/improve current level of detector performance
  • Phase-1b consolidation and Phase-II upgrade planned in LS3 and LS4

  • LHC(b) now taken over leading role in flavour physics
  • No smoking gun signal for physics beyond the SM

➡ Several hints demand more precise and complementary measurements as well as advances on the theoretical side

  • Good chance that strong signals will emerge with run-2

➡ Stay tuned for latest updates at CKM

  • Need LHCb upgrade to probe to Standard Model level precision
  • Next decade will be flavourful
