Title: Hadronic decays of B mesons with flavor SU(3) symmetry

Abstract

We study implications of a recent observation of non-leptonic B$$+\atop{c}$$ →D⁰K⁺ decay and a bound on B$$+\atop{c}$$ →D⁰π⁺ transition, on CP-violating asymmetries in decays. In the U-spin symmetry limit, we derive a relation between the CP-asymmetries in the B$$+\atop{c}$$ →D⁰K⁺ and B$$+\atop{c}$$ →D⁰π⁺ channels and the corresponding branching ratios. We also derive several relations between non-leptonic B_c decays into the final states with D mesons in the flavor SU(3)_F limit. We point out that a combined study of SU(3)_F amplitudes in these decays can be used to constrain the angle γ of the Cabibbo–Kobayashi–Maskawa (CKM) matrix.

Quark-lepton families in a model with SU(5)xSU(3) symmetry

Journal Article Berezhiani, Z G ; Chkareuli, D L - Sov. J. Nucl. Phys. (Engl. Transl.); (United States)

The running (from the SU(5)xSU(3) symmetry limit ..mu..approx.10/sup 15/ GeV to our energies ..mu.. = 1--10 GeV) masses of the quarks d, s, and b and the Kobayashi-Maskawa mixing angles theta/sub 1/, theta/sub 2/, and theta/sub 3/ are calculated in a grand unification model with a ''horizontal'' SU(3) symmetry between various quark-leptonic generations. Two versions of the model are treated: model A with three quark-leptonic generations (according to the standard SU(5)) and model B with six generations (as predicted by the SU(8) symmetry with unification of all quark-leptonic flavors). Both models agree with the data on the masses of themore »« less
Measurement of branching fractions of B decays to K₁(1270)π and K₁(1400)π and determination of the CKM angle α from B⁰→ a₁(1260)^± π^∓

Thesis/Dissertation Stracka, Simone

In the Standard Model, CP violation in weak interactions involving quarks is parameterized by an irreducible complex phase in the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) quark-mixing-matrix. The precise determination of the CKM elements is a necessary ingredient for a stringent test of the Standard Model predictions, and is a crucial input for reducing the theoretical error in many New Physics searches with flavor, e.g., in the kaon sector. The unitarity of the CKM matrix is typically expressed as a triangle relationship among its parameters, where the area of the so-called Unitarity Triangle visually depicts the amount of asymmetry between the decays of B particles and their antimatter counterparts. In the past few years, the BABAR and Belle experiments have been able to measure all three angles of the triangle from CP asymmetry measurements. The first asymmetry measurements in B particle decays, about ten years ago, allowed to determine β, which is now known to better than 5% precision. The angles α and γ, measured in much rarer processes, required several years of data taking before analyses could yield reliable answers. A remarkable feature is that the direct measurement of the angles of the Unitarity Triangle generates an area that is consistent with the area predicted by measurement of the sides. In this thesis we have presented the branching fraction measurements of charged and neutral B meson decays to K₁(1270)π and K₁(1400)π, obtained from a data sample of 454 million Υ(4S) → Bmore »« less

Dalitz Analysis of D⁰ to K$$0\atop{S}$$π⁺π^- and Measurement of the CKM Angle γa in Charged B^± Decays to D^(*) K^± Decays

Thesis/Dissertation Lau, Yan-Pan

Despite more than thirty years having elapsed since the discovery of CP violation, our understanding about the source and the nature of this phenomenon is still very limited. In the standard model of particle physics, CP violation is due to the presence of an non-irreducible weak phase in the Cabibbo-Kabayashi-Maskawa(CKM) matrix. Up to now, all the experimental results are in good agreement with the standard model. However, it is important for us to over-constrain the CKM quark-mixing matrix and explore the possibility of new physics beyond the standard model. The B meson provides an ideal place to measure CP violation due to its heavy mass and potentially large CP-violating effects. In particular, the angle γ of the Unitary Triangle relating the elements of the CKM matrix is extremely crucial in terms of CP violation and constraints on the new physics models. Various methods using B^- → D⁰K^- decays have been proposed to measure based on the interference between the V_cb and V_ub amplitudes. Despite the simple concept, the measurement turns out to be experimentally challenging due to the small branching fraction and the small value of τ_B, the amplitude ratio between the two contributing Feynman diagrams. In this thesis a novel technique to measure γ in B^- → D^(*) K^- decay using a Dalitz plot analysis of D⁰ → K{sub s}π⁺π^- is presented. Until the turn on of LHC _b [1] later in the decade, this remains the most promising method to measure γ. This thesis is roughly separated into two parts. The first part involves a study of hadron spectroscopy and the Dalitz plot analysis of the D⁰→ Kmore »« less
