FROM A NEW SMELL TO A NEW FLAVOUR - Bd - & MIXING , CP VIOLATION AND NEW PHYSICS
نویسنده
چکیده
Using the preliminary data on Bd-Bd mixing from ARGUS, and the Standard Model with three families, we infer a lower bound on the top quark mass of 50-70 GeV; also, B,-B, mixing has to be close to maximal. We discuss how the prospects for observing CP violation in B " decays are enhanced and sketch alternative scenarios for New Physics.

Flavour physics within and beyond the Standard Model
— I review recent progress in theoretical calculations related to the CKM unitarity triangle. After briefly discussing hints for new physics in Bd−Bd and Bs−Bs mixing I present three topics of MSSM flavour physics: First I discuss new tanβ-enhanced radiative corrections to flavour-changing neutral current (FCNC) amplitudes which go beyond the familiar Higgs-mediated FCNC diagrams and may enhanc...
متن کاملRare Decays and Cp Violation beyond the Standard Model
We review the status of rare decays and CP violation in extensions of the Standard Model. We analyze the determination of the unitarity triangle and the model-independent constraints on new physics that can be derived from this analysis. We find stringent bounds on new contributions to K − K̄ and Bd − B̄d mixing, pointing either to models of minimal flavour violation or to models with new sources...

In this talk I review the status of B−B mixing in the Standard Model and the room for new physics in Bs−Bs and Bd−Bd mixing in the light of recent LHCb data.
متن کاملAnatomy of New Physics in B–B mixing
We analyse three different New Physics scenarios for ∆F = 2 flavour-changing neutral currents in the quark sector in the light of recent data on neutral-meson mixing. We parametrise generic New Physics contributions to Bq−Bq mixing, q = d, s, in terms of one complex quantity ∆q, while three parameters ∆ tt K , ∆ ct K and ∆ cc K are needed to describe K−K mixing. In Scenario I, we consider uncor...
