Fundamental Questions in Particle Physics: Generation and Masses In the SM, Gauge Forces do not distinguish fermions of different generations: • e, µ have same electrical charge • quarks have same color charge Why generations ? Why 3 ? Why fermion masses are so different ? F. Bianchi XXX Nathiagali Summer College 3
Fundamental Questions in Particle Physics: What happened to antimatter ? All Matter no Antimatter Matter Antimatter Symmetric Big Bang F. Bianchi XXX Nathiagali Summer College 4
Fundamental Questions in Particle Physics: Baryogenesis Sakharov criteria: • Baryon-number violation • CP violation • Non-equilibrium SM satisfies prerequisites for baryogenesis • Baryon-number violation at high temperatures (DB=DL) • Non-equilibrium during phase transitions (symmetry breaking) • CP violation in the quark and lepton sectors undamental connection between particle physics and cosmology F. Bianchi XXX Nathiagali Summer College 5
Luminosity and Energy Frontiers • Study of Flavor Physics is complementary to the discovery of new particles at high energy • Any extension of the SM that can solve the hierarchy problem contains many new flavor parameters • If New Physics exists at or below a Te. V, its effects should show up in flavor physics! • Flavor and CP-violating couplings can only be studied using precision measurements at highest luminosity F. Bianchi XXX Nathiagali Summer College 6
Example: the top quark • Couplings ( |Vts| ~ 0. 04 and |Vtd| ~ 0. 003) measured in B physics. • Mass prediction based on precision electro weak measurements. • Direct production has proved existence and measured mass and spin. Study of Flavor Physics is an essential part of the roadmap for the exploration of new energy scales, now and even in the LHC era. F. Bianchi XXX Nathiagali Summer College 7
CKM Matrix I SM accounts for flavor changing quark transition through the coupling of the V-A charged current operator to a W boson: where: Vij are the elements of the CKM matrix i, j run on the three quark generations F. Bianchi XXX Nathiagali Summer College 8
CKM Matrix II CKM matrix can be regarded as a rotation from the quark mass eigenstates (d, s, b) to a set of new states (d’, s’, b’) with diagonal coupling to u, c, t Complex matrix described by 4 independent real parameters (including one phase) l~ 0. 22 sinθC Wolfenstein Parameterization Cabibbo angle 2 ® 1 ~l 3 ® 2 ~l 2 3 ® 1 ~l 3 F.

To do Heavy Quark Physics… You need: • To produce a lot of b & c hadrons • Hadrons vs. e+e- machines • To build a detector with: • high tracking efficiency • good tracking and vertexing to have good mass resolution • good particle identification capability to distinguish among different modes and reject background • good g and 0 reconstruction • capability to reconstruct neutral hadrons F. Bianchi XXX Nathiagali Summer College 15
Hadronic vs e+e- colliders I Hadronic machines: • enormous production of c and b-hadrons (sbb ~ 50 mb) • all b-hadrons can be produced • trigger is challenging • complicated many-particles events • incoherent production of B mesons Tevatron @ FNAL: CDF, D 0, BTEV LHC @ CERN: CMS, ATLAS, LHCB F. Bianchi XXX Nathiagali Summer College 16
Hadronic vs e+e- colliders II e+ e- collider at the Y(4 S) (b-factory): • Trigger is moderately easy. • Simpler events, easier to reconstruct. • Copious production of b, c and t. sbb = 1. 05 nb scc = 1. 30 nb stt = 0. 94 nb F. Bianchi XXX Nathiagali Summer College 17
Hadronic vs e+e- colliders III B Physics at an e+ e- collider at the Y(4 S): • only B 0 and B+ can be produced. • all the final state particles come from B decays. • coherent production of B mesons in a L=1 state. • B are produced almost at rest in the Y(4 S) rest frame. Travel ~26 mm before decaying in that frame. Solution: use beams of different energies to boost the Y(4 S) rest frame w. r. t. the lab frame increasing the spatial separation of the decays making it measurable. PEP-II @ SLAC: Ba. Bar F.

Detection of Internally Reflected Cherenkov light I Ring imaging Cherenkov detector based on total internal reflection. Uses long, rectangular bars made from synthetic fused silica ("quartz") as both radiator and light guide. A charged particle traversing a DIRC quartz bar with velocity b produces Cherenkov light if nb > 1. Through internal reflections, the Cherenkov light from the passage of a particle is carried to the ends of the bar and to an array of 11, 000 2. 5 cm-diameter phototubes. F. Bianchi XXX Nathiagali Summer College 34
Detection of Internally Reflected Cherenkov light II The high optical quality of the quartz preserves the angle of the emitted Cherenkov light. The measurement of this angle, in conjunction with knowing the track angle and momentum from the drift chamber, allows a determination of the particle mass. qc = arcos (1/nb) F.
