The origin of different fermion generations, masses, flavor
violation, and CP violation are all arbitrary parameters of
electroweak symmetry breaking.
A comparative physics of the quark flavors directly probes this
little-known sector.

Quarks and Flavor Violation: Mixing
Pairs of down (or pairs of up) type quarks can spontaneously
swap flavor for anti-flavor via two flavor-violating exchanges

Quarks and CP Violation
For a particle(s) f with momentum p and helicity l
C : Charge conjugation operator C f(p, l) = f(p, l)
P : Parity reversal operator
P f(p, l) = f(-p, -l)
CP f(p, l) = f(-p, -l)
CP eigenstate: particle = anti-particle (Ex: qq mesons)
CP conservation → left-handed particles have the same
physics as right-handed anti-particles
Obviously violated for our (baryon-asymmetric) local universe!
In the Standard Model CP violation originates from
complex phase in CKM matrix → in general, Vij ≠ Vij*

If B0 and B0 decay to the same final state fCP, there is interference between
amplitude of direct decay
and
amplitude of mixing
followed by decay
In the presence of CP violating phases in these amplitudes, can induce large
time-dependent asymmetry with
frequency equal to mixing frequency: AfCP  C fCP cos(Dmt )  S fCP sin(Dmt )

New Physics Scenarios
•New physics at the electroweak scale generically introduces new large
flavor-violating or CP-violating couplings to quarks
→Existing flavor physics measurements severely limit types of new physics!
• The great number of possible new couplings can give rise to many
different combinations of effects
Ex: Right handed (b →s) squark mixing in gluino penguins could introduce a
new phase in b → sss penguins without affecting B mixing nor b → ccs nor b → s

Future and Follow-up Measurements
•Both B factories hope to collect 4-5 X more data over the next 4-5 years
•Significance of the penguin problem could double and unambiguously
falsify the Standard Model!
•Improved measurements of rates and asymmetries in other penguin decays
(b →s , b→ d , b→ s l l, B → f K*, ……)
•Fermilab Tevatron can measure Bs , Lb decays
•LHCb, BTeV: scheduled to produce billions of B’s in pp collisions
•Super B Factory: 50X version of B factories

Summary
•The physics of quark flavor, as seen through the b quark,
is a rich area of study with wide-ranging implications
•The Standard Model CKM theory of flavor and CP violation holds up well
for tree-level processes
•Penguin processes, which are especially sensitive to new physics,
could prove to be the lever which cracks the Standard Model wide open
