Photonic and Leptonic Rare B Decays
نویسنده
چکیده
Some selected topics involving photonic and leptonic rare B decays are reviewed. The interest in their measurement for the CKM phenomenology is underlined. They are also potentially interesting in searching for physics beyond the standard model. This is illustrated on the examples of the decays B → (K,K)ll and B → (ρ, ω)γ by contrasting their anticipated phenomenological profiles in the standard model and some variants of supersymmetric models.

Radiative leptonic decays of heavy mesons.
We compute the photon spectrum and the rate for the decays B(D) → lνlγ These photonic modes constitute a potentially large background for the purely leptonic decays which are used to extract the heavy meson decay constants. While the rate for D → lνγ is small, the radiative decay in the B meson case could be of comparable magnitude or even larger than B → μν. This would affect the determination...
متن کاملReview of Experimental Results on Rare Radiative, Semileptonic and Leptonic B Decays
We review recent experimental progress in the domain of rare radiative, semileptonic and leptonic B decays. The statistical precision attained for these decays has reached a level where they start to impose meaningful constraints on the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix, which are complementary to those obtained from hadronic decays. While the current data indicate no deviations from Standard Mo...
متن کاملMeasurement of Non-photonic Electron Angular Correlations with Charged Hadrons
Correlations of non-photonic electrons with charged hadrons are studied using the PYTHIA Monte Carlo event generator in p+p collisions at √ sNN = 200 GeV. We propose experimental methods to estimate the relative contributions to non-photonic electrons from charm and bottom decays. We present the measurement of azimuthal correlations between non-photonic electrons and charged hadrons in p+p coll...
متن کاملAzimuthal Correlations between Non-Photonic Electrons and Charged Hadrons in p+p Collisions from STAR
We present the preliminary measurement of azimuthal correlations between nonphotonic electrons and charged hadrons in p+p collisions at √ sNN = 200 GeV from STAR. The results are compared to PYTHIA simulations to estimate the relative contributions of D and B meson semi-leptonic decays to the non-photonic electrons.
متن کاملNew BaBar Results on Rare Leptonic B Decays
1 Abstract New preliminary BaBar results for rare leptonic decays B− → K−νν and B → `+`− are reported. Using data collected at the Υ (4S) with the BaBar detector, no evidence for a signal was found yielding the corresponding upper limits at the 90% confidence level: B(B− → K−νν) < 9.4 × 10−5 for 50.7 fb−1 , B(B0 → e+e−) < 3.3 × 10−7, B(B0→ μ+μ−) < 2.0 × 10−7 and B(B0 → e±μ∓) < 2.1× 10−7 using 5...
