B Decays
Author: Sheldon Stone
Publisher: World Scientific
ISBN: 9789810218973
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 676
Book Description
This 2nd edition is an extensive update of "B Decays?. The revisions are necessary because of the extensive amount of new data and new theoretical ideas. This book reviews what is known about b-quark decays and also looks at what can be learned in the future.The importance of this research area is increasing, as evidenced by the approval of the luminosity upgrade for CESR and the asymmetric B factories at SLAC and KEK, and the possibility of experiments at hadron colliders.The key experimental observations made thus far, measurement of the lifetimes of the different B species, B0-B0 mixing, the discovery of ?Penguin? mediated decays, and the extraction of the CKM matrix elements Vub and Vcb from semileptonic decays, as well as more mundane results, are described in great detail by the experimentalists who have been closely involved with making the measurements. Theoretical progress in understanding b-quark decays using HQET and lattice gauge techniques are described by theorists who have developed and used these techniques.Synthesizing the experimental and theoretical information, several articles discuss the implications for the ?Standard Model? and how further tests can be done using measurements of CP violation in the B system.

B Meson Semileptonic Form Factors Using Unquenched Lattice QCD
Author: Emel Gulez

ISBN:
Category : B mesons
Languages : en
Pages : 116
Book Description
Abstract: We present state-of-the-art unquenched lattice QCD results for B meson semileptonic decay, B [rightarrow] [pi]lv, form factors. We use gauge configurations prepared by the MILC collaboration, which include the effects of the sea quarks, the s quark and two very light quarks (u and d). We employ the nonrelativistic NRQCD action to simulate the heavy b quark and a highly improved staggered quark action (AsqTad) to simulate the sea and valence light quarks. To reduce the uncertainties, we perform matching of the heavy-light current with these highly improved actions through one loop. The perturbative matching accounts for the effects of mixing with dimension 4 operators that are O(1/M) and O(a). We extrapolate the form factors f+(q2) and f0(q2) to their values at the physical pion mass using chiral perturbation theory formulas. Integrating this result, we obtain [integral] [from] 16 GeV2 [to] q2_max [d[gamma]/dq2]d2 (V_ub)2 = 1.46(35) ps−1. Combining this with a preliminary average by the Heavy Flavor Averaging Group (HFAG'05) of recent branching fraction data for exclusive B semileptonic decays from the BaBar, Belle and CLEO collaborations, leads to V_ub = 4.22(30)(51) x 10−3.

Semileptonic Decays of Heavy Lambda Baryons in a Quark Model
Author:

Category :

Book Description
The semileptonic decays of [Lambda]{sub c} and [Lambda]{sub b} are treated in the framework of a constituent quark model. Both nonrelativistic and semirelativistic Hamiltonians are used to obtain the baryon wave functions from a fit to the spectra, and the wave functions are expanded in both the harmonic oscillator and Sturmian bases. The latter basis leads to form factors in which the kinematic dependence on q2 is in the form of multipoles, and the resulting form factors fall faster as a function of q2 in the available kinematic ranges. As a result, decay rates obtained in the two models using the Sturmian basis are significantly smaller than those obtained using the harmonic oscillator basis. In the case of the [Lambda]{sub c}, decay rates calculated using the Sturmian basis are closer to the experimentally reported rates. However, we find a semileptonic branching fraction for the [Lambda]{sub c} to decay to excited [Lambda]* states of 11% to 19%, in contradiction with what is assumed in available experimental analyses. Our prediction for the [Lambda]{sub b} semileptonic decays is that decays to the ground state [Lambda]{sub c} provide a little less than 70% of the total semileptonic decay rate. For the decays [Lambda]{sub b} → [Lambda]{sub c}, the analytic form factors we obtain satisfy the relations expected from heavy-quark effective theory at the non-recoil point, at leading and next-to-leading orders in the heavy-quark expansion. In addition, some features of the heavy-quark limit are shown to naturally persist as the mass of the heavy quark in the daughter baryon is decreased.
