  22. Neutral B Meson Flavor Oscillations Flavor oscillations occur through 2nd order weak interactions e.g. Same diagrams and formula for ms for Bs except replace “d” with “s” From measurement of md derive |V*tbVtd|2 All factors known well except “bag factor” £ “decay constant” md = 0.507 § 0.005 ps-1 (1%) (PDG 2006) from Lattice QCD calculations – see Okamoto, hep-lat/0510113 Joseph Kroll - University of Pennsylvania

  23. B Meson Flavor Oscillations (cont) If we measure ms then we would know the ratio ms/md Many theoretical quantities cancel in this ratio, we are left with Ratio measures |Vtd/Vts| This is why ms is high priority in Run II We know what to expect Using measured md & B masses, expected |Vts/Vtd| Predict ms» 18 ps-1 Joseph Kroll - University of Pennsylvania

  27. Experimental Steps for Measuring Bs Mixing 1. Extract B0s signal – decay mode must identify b-flavor at decay (TTT) Examples: 2. Measure decay time (t) in B rest frame (L = distance travelled) (L00) 3. Determine b-flavor at production “flavor tagging” (TOF) “unmixed” means production and decay flavor are the same “mixed” means flavor at production opposite flavor at decay Flavor tag quantified by dilution D = 1 – 2w, w = mistag probability Joseph Kroll - University of Pennsylvania
