Light Mesons from Heavy B and Hyperon Decays
Decays of heavy mesons and of heavy hyperons are used to provide tests of the
standard model and information about new mixing schemes for the and
mesons. These include the two body decays and
, and , semileptonic decays, and properties of radially
excited mesons.Comment: Four pages. Talk given at the Fifth International Conference on
Hyperons, Charm and Beauty Hadrons, Vancouver, BC, Canada, July 25-29, 200
New Physics in B and K Decays
Flavour physics offers interesting probes for the exploration of the Standard
Model and the search for new physics. In these lectures, we focus on B- and
K-meson decays, introduce the concept of low-energy effective Hamiltonians to
describe them theoretically, and discuss how physics beyond the Standard Model
may generically affect the roadmap of quark-flavour physics. We address then
both the implications of the B-factory data for the B_d -> J/psi K_S channel
and the prospects of B_s -> J/psi phi modes for hadron colliders, and discuss
how the Standard Model may be challenged through B_d -> phi K_S. Finally, as an
example of a systematic flavour strategy to search for new physics, we analyze
puzzling patterns in the B -> pi pi, pi K data and study their interplay with
rare K and B decays.Comment: 44 pages, 10 figures, invited lectures given at the Lake Louise

Observation of time-reversal violation in the B0 meson system
The individually named authors work collectively as The BABAR Collaboration. Copyright @ 2012 American Physical Society.Although CP violation in the B meson system has been well established by the B factories, there has been no direct observation of time-reversal violation. The decays of entangled neutral B mesons into definite flavor states (B0 or B¯¯¯0), and J/ψK0L or cc¯K0S final states (referred to as B+ or B−), allow comparisons between the probabilities of four pairs of T-conjugated transitions, for example, B¯¯¯0→B− and B−→B¯¯¯0, as a function of the time difference between the two B decays. Using 468×106 BB¯¯¯ pairs produced in Υ(4S) decays collected by the BABAR detector at SLAC, we measure T-violating parameters in the time evolution of neutral B mesons, yielding ΔS+T=−1.37±0.14(stat)±0.06(syst) and ΔS−T=1.17±0.18(stat)±0.11(syst). These nonzero results represent the first direct observation of T violation through the exchange of initial and final states in transitions that can only be connected by a T-symmetry transformation.DOE and NSF (USA), NSERC (Canada), CEA and CNRS-IN2P3 (France), BMBF and
