 hadronic B-meson decays Rafael Silva Coutinho University of Zurich On behalf of the LHCb experiment (including results from BaBar and Belle) June 06 th , 2016 Flavour Physics and CP violation (FPCP) 2016

  2. Overview of recents 3-body decays results This talk covers some recent publications from hadronic three-body decays Introduction to three-body decays analyses B decays to open charm, i.e. B → Dhh Ê channels [Dalitz-plot analysis, spectroscopy] Status/issues foreseen for CPV measurements in charmless three-body charged decays [Large CP violation seen in B ± → h ± h ∓ h ± decays] Final states involving K 0S and/or π 0 Ês [ i.e. Β 0(s) → Κ 0S h ± h’ ∓ , Β 0(s) → h + h - π 0 , Β + → Κ 0S h + h 0 decays] b -baryon and Β +c decays [Searches and CP violation measurements] 2 R.

  3. Dalitz plot analysis Technique named after Richard Dalitz (1925-2006) Spin/parity determination of the known τ / θ particles in its decay products „On the analysis of tau-meson data and the nature of the tau-meson.‰ R. H. Dalitz, Phil. Mag. 44 (1953) 1068 „I visualise geometry better than numbers‰ Richard Dalitz Scatter-plot visualisation can be interpreted as: Matrix element is constant, i.e. DP uniformly populated with events Non-uniform distributions gives information about the dynamics SLAC-PUB-5151 Interference patterns between intermediate states can be studied and parametrised „A work of art‰ - gift from B.

Dalitz plot analysis - Isobar Model A possibility is to perform an „Isobar Model‰, in which the total amplitude is approximated as coherent sum of quasi-two-body contributions: Strong dynamics CP violating CP conserving N X A ( m 2 ij , m 2 c l F l ( m 2 ij , m 2 jk ) = jk ) l =1 c l : complex coefficients describing the relative magnitude and phase of the different isobars F l : dynamical amplitudes that contain the lineshape and spin-dependence of the hadronic part F l ( L, m 2 ij , m 2 jk ) = R l ( m 2 ij ) × X L ( | ~ p | r ) × X L ( | ~ q | r ) × T l ( L, ~ q ) p, ~ Resonance mass term Barrier factors - p , q : momenta Angular probability (e.g. Breit – Wigner) of bachelor and resonance distribution Many observables can be accessed: Re(c i ) and Im(c i ) or |c i | and arg(c i ); or derived quantities such as BF and A CP 5 R.
