  1. Charm of the charmless – Three-body Hadronic B decays at BaBar Gagan Mohanty RAL PPD Seminar December 12, 2007

  2. Outline of the talk • Theory and Motivation • Dataset and Detector • Analysis Strategy • Particle Identification • Continuum Suppression • Kinematical Variables • Results • B+ → K+K-π+/K+π+π-/π+π-π+ • B0 → KSπ+π-/KSK+K-/π+π-π0 • Summary and Outlook Preliminary

  3. History: Timeline (1993) • 1st observation of charmless B decays by CLEO PRL 71, 3922 (1993) • Since then…

  4. Today: LP2007 http://www.slac.stanford.edu/xorg/hfag/rare/index.html

  5. Theory b → s/d b → u • Typical diagrams for charmless three-body B decays b → s loop (penguin) transition contributes only to the final states with odd number of kaons due to presence s quark e.g. Kππ, KKK Final states with even number of kaons, such as KKπ get contributions from b → u tree and b → dpenguin diagrams. Odd number kaon states are further Cabibbo suppressed [~ sinθc]

  6. Motivations PRL 93, 131801 • Interfering tree and penguin amplitudes good place to search for direct CP violation • New particles can appear in loop diagrams (signature of physics beyond the SM) • Probes flavor sector, particularly by measuring • sin(2β) or just β in the KSh+h- (K/π) Dalitz plot • α in the modes: ππ, ρπ and ρρ • γ using flavour symmetries (isospin, U-spin, etc.) Klempt, Zaitzev Phys Rept 454, 1 • Low energy spectroscopy • Testing ground for perturbative QCD, factorization, SU(3) flavor symmetry …

  7. Why three-body? 2-body PRO : • Larger BF than two-body decays • Correct way to study interference • Some modes in a well-defined CP eigenstate Gershon, Hazumi PLB 596, 163 3-body CON : - large phase space with low event density; hard to identify all phase-space structures - mixture of CP-even, CP-odd final states - more complicated analysis needed

  8. Dataset 9 GeV e-→Υ(4S)← 3.1 GeV e+γβ = 0.56 <Δz> ~ 260 μm • Peak luminosity > 3 X Design • Run 6 ended on this Sept. New results based on run 1-5 data (other on smaller set) • Final run 7 is about to begin and would continue till next September Lint ~ 500 fb-1 (10% off-peak)

  10. Analysis Strategy Inclusive • Background fighting: • Continuum (event topology) • Other types of B decays (PID, charm and charmonia veto) uds:cc:bb = 2.1:1.3:1.1 • Signal extraction (kinematics) Full (3body)/partial (Q2B) • Dalitz plot technique (three-body decays having reasonable signal size) Time-dependent DP (3body) • Time-dependent analysis in neutral B meson decays to determine CP violation parameters at each point of the phase space Complexity

  11. Particle Identification • PID is crucial for these analyses • distinguish Kvs.π • veto the leptons >3σ • Always room to improve (submitted to NIM) D.N. Brown et al., arXiv:0711.1593 Longitudinal shower depth from an unsegmented EMC

  12. Continuum Suppression • Event topology • B produced at rest (spherical) • Jet-like udsc events Signal Background • Flavour and decay-time of the B meson candidate (not used in TD analysis)

  13. Typical Performance • We do not live in an ideal world • But we try to get as close as possible A. Hocker et al., physics/0703039

  14. Kinematical Variables • Utilize precise beam energy information and (E,p) conservation signal background Background Signal box Sideband Inclusive/Dalitz plot

  15. Dalitz-plot Analysis • Powerful technique relying on Lorentz invariant phase-space variables in a three-body decay sij = m2ij 1 1 2 2 {13} + B Resonance 3 B 3 Zemach, PL133 B1021 (1964) Flatte, PLB63, 224 (1973)

  16. Dalitz-plot Analysis [2] • Extractck,NRandθk,NRby performing a maximumlikelihood fit • Fit fraction is the ratio of the integral of a single decay amplitude squared to the coherent sum of all • Measure CP violation asymmetries by comparing B and B amplitudes

  17. Time-dependent DP K- Flavor tagging Q ≈30% B0 PEP-II Coherent evolution e- e- e+ p+ (4S) B0KSπ+π- Eff.~25% mixing p+ p- p- Dz≈ 260m • Time-dependent decay rate of B0(B0) → three-body • Include detector effects (mistagging and resolution) • Determine mixing-induced CP [sine coefficient] and direct CP [cosine coefficient] at each point in the DP • direct CP

  18. B+ → K+K-π+inclusive

  19. Motivations • Potentially rich Dalitz structure • Good place to look for direct CP (interference between b→u tree and b→d penguin amplitudes) • Little experimental information exists new physics effects not excluded • Rate and asymmetry in B+→ K*0(892)K+ are inputs to a method to extract γ • Same Q2Bstate helps on understanding observed discrepancy of sin(2βeff) in the B→ φKS mode Soni and Suprun, PRD 75, 054006 Grossman et al., PRD 68, 015004 And... • Surprises do happen

  21. B+ → K+K-π+ inclusive 383MB pairs BB qq • An unbinned maximum likelihood fit of [mES, ΔE, NN] to 16143 candidate events finds a signal yield of 429±43 • 12.6σ (statistical only) and 9.6σ including systematic uncertainty PRL 99, 221801

  22. B+ → K+K-π+ inclusive • Half of the events originates from PRL 99, 221801 • Reminiscent of similar structures in KSK+K- and K+K+K- Dalitz plots PRD 74, 032003 PRL 99, 161802 K+K+K- KSK+K- Efficiency-corrected distribution • Nature of this state around 1.5GeV/c2 is not very clear • Rate reasonably consistent with the Q2B results on K*0K PRD 76, 071103 Efficiency-corrected distribution

  25. B+→ π+π+π-: Summary PRD 72, 052002 (2005) PLB 597, 39 (2004) • ρ0(770) is the dominant component • 3σ indication for f2(1270) and NR • Little evidence for σ (seen by BES in the decay J/ψ→ωπ+π-) • No contribution from χc0 not feasible to measure γ with analysed dataset f2(1270) f0(980) σ Bediaga et al., PRL 81, 4067 (1998)

  27. B+→ K+π+π-: Summary PRD 72, 072003 (2005) • Total BF differs significantly from Belle (48.8±1.1±3.6)•10-6 PRL 96, 251803 (2006) • (Kπ)*0K*0(1430) resonance + Effective range nonresonant component (Belle uses K*0(1430) only) • Evidence for direct CP violation in the ρ0(770)K± mode

  28. CP in charged B decays? PRD 72, 072003 (2005) B- B+ BABAR • Large ACP in agreement with predictions based on flavour SU(3) symmetry (19-24)% Chiang et al., PRD 69, 034001 (2004) Belle • Interesting to see the results with higher statistics… PRL 96, 251803 (2006)

  29. Time-dependent Dalitz plot analyses of B0 → KSπ+π- and B0 → KSK+K-

  30. Motivations • Dominantly b → s penguin transition prone to NP effect • Provides a test if mixing-induced CP asymmetry equals to that of tree-level transition b → ccs • Measure βeff in Q2B modes unambiguously interference term allows determination of cosine term (beauty of DP) • We can determine the relative phase between B0→K*+(892)π- and B0→K*-(892)π+ access to CKM angle γ Deshpande et al., PRL 90, 061802 (2003) Ciuchini et al., PRD 74, 051301 (2006) Gronau et al., PRD 75, 014002 (2007)

  31. Existing Measurements Time-dependent Q2B Time-integrated Q2B Time-integrated DP • Both agree reasonably well • Discrepancy in the nonresonant contribution • Belle also observes structure near 1.3 GeV/c2 in the π+π- spectrum

  32. Signal Yield • Simultaneous fit including • mES, ΔE, NN, Δt and tagged (B0/B0) DP variables arXiv:0708.2097 Contrib. LP2007 383MB pairs BB qq • Signal: (2172±70) in total candidate sample of 22525

  34. Time-dependent CP violation • Time-dependent CP asymmetry measured at each point in the KSπ+π- Dalitz plot for the first time arXiv:0708.2097 Contrib. LP2007 Charmonium Charmonium • f0(980)KS value 2.1σ above charmonium • ρ0KS consistent with the world-average

  35. CP violation in DP amplitudes • Advantage of time-dependent Dalitz plot probes CP violation from two orthogonal directions arXiv:0708.2097 Contrib. LP2007 disfavoured at 3.7σ No CP • Phase diff. in K*π mode is significantly different from zero

  36. B0→ K+K-Ks: Dalitz plot • Fit including mES, ΔE, NN, Δt and tagged (B0/B0) DP variables 383MB pairs arXiv:0706.3885, accepted by PRL Signal model • φ(1020)K0 • f0(980)K0 • fx(1500)K0 • χc0KS • Nonresonant • Low mass: mKK < 1.1 GeV/c2

  37. B0→ K+K-Ks: Results • CP violation at 4.8σ level (5.1σ for high mass region) • βeff is about 2σ lower than the SM prediction (~0.370 rad) • Direct CP is consistent with SM disfavoured at 4.5σ arXiv:0706.3885, accepted by PRL

  38. Time-dependent Dalitz plot analysis of B0 → π+π-π0

  39. Motivations • Contributions from b→u tree and b→d penguin transition (through intermediate ρ resonance) • Possible to extract of CKM angle α and strong transition amplitude simultaneously • Complex isospin analysis 12 parameters to be determined • Rather utilize the variation of strong phases of interfering ρ resonances over the DP Synder and Quinn, PRD 48, 2139 (1993) Time dependent Dalitz plot

  40. B0→ π+π-π0 time-dependent DP • Parameterize B0(B0) → π+π-π0 amplitude in terms of ρ+(→π+π0)π-,ρ-(→π-π0)π+and ρ0(→π+π-)π0 } fκ(κ = +,-,0) areBW functions • Use these in the time-dependent decay rate: • Determine Uκ and Iκ (27 →16 parameters for small ρ0π0 contribution) in the likelihood fit

  41. DP Fit Results 375MB pairs • Likelihood built using PDFs for the discriminating variables: ΔE, mES, NN, Δt & DP variables PRD 76, 012004 (2007) Event yield: 2067 ± 86 ρ(770) KSπ0 D+π- misreconstruction BB qq • Extract physics parameters from the fitted Uκ and Iκ: {
