Radiative Penguin Decays and New Radiative Penguin Decays and New PhysicsPhysics
Radiative penguin decays: b → s and b → d FCNC transitions
SM leading order = one EW loopVts, Vtd dependent
FCNCs probe a high virtual energy scale comparable to high-energy collidersRadiative FCNCs have precise SM predictions:
BF(b→s)TH = 3.57 ± 0.30 x 10-4 (SM NLO)BF(b→s)EXP = 3.54 ± 0.30 x 10-4 (HFAG)
Decay rate agreement highly constrains new physics at the electroweak scale!
Further tests presented here:•Exclusive b→s decay rates
•b→s CP asymmetries•b→d penguins
Multiple new BF(b→s)measurements coming soon from BaBar

Measuring Exclusive Radiative Penguin DecaysMeasuring Exclusive Radiative Penguin Decays
For signal, mES ≈ mB, mES) ≈ 3 MeV E* ≈ 0, (E*) ≈ 50 MeV
Small rates (BF < 10-4) on top of large backgrounds
Common strategy : select photon + hadrons with strict particle ID cut when possible on meson masses reduce continuum background with multivariate methods extract signal with multi-dimensional maximum likelihood fit
583±30 events
Ex: signal fit for B → K*0, K*0 → K+-Best kinematic constraintsfrom B candidate momentum and energy, compared with Ebeam:

Time-Dependent CP Asymmetry inTime-Dependent CP Asymmetry in B B →→K*K*(113 (113 fbfb-1-1))
As in B0→J/ KS, interference between mixed andnon-mixed decay to same final state required for CPV.
In the SM, mixed decay to K* requires wrong photonhelicity, thus CPV is suppressed:
In SM: C = -ACP ≈ -1% S ≈ 2(ms/mb)sin 2 ≈ 4%
Measuring t of K*(→KS0) events requires novel beam-constrained vertexing techinque:
Vertex signal B with intersection of KS trajectory and beam-line
Usable resolution for KS decaying inside the silicon tracker
Validated with B0→J/ KS events

•Decay rate measurements of b→ s penguins are well into the precision era.
•CP asymmetries of b→ s penguins are statistics limited and will continue to test the SM
