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 $\eta$ and $\eta^{'}$ mesons. These include the two body decays $B_s \to J / \psi M$ and $B_d \to J / \psi M$, $B \to \eta (\eta ^{'})K(K^\ast)$ and $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda \eta (\eta ^{'})$, semileptonic $D$ 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 Winter Institute "Fundamental Interactions", Chateau Lake Louise, Alberta, Canada, 20-26 February 200

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 DFG(Germany), INFN (Italy), FOM (The Netherlands), NFR (Norway), MES (Russia), MINECO (Spain), STFC (United Kingdom).
