Quark MassesTop quark (∼ 171 GeV) too heavy to form bounded states.Decays immediately dominantly in: t → bW
b heaviest quark which forms mesons (|qq̄ >) & baryons (|qqq >)Due to energy conversation, particle decay in lighter particles.→ B hadrons have large phase space for decay (many modes).

B ProductionOne low and one very high momentum parton produce heavyparticles, however very high momentum partons are very rare.→ heavy particle production via two partons of ∼ same energy→ heavy particles have little boost → central region
For light particles a low and a medium momentum parton work.→ it is very unlikely that the two partons have same energy→ light particles are produced in forward direction.
2 × m(b) ≈ 10 GeV
m(Higgs) >114 GeV
2 × m(t) ≈ 350 GeV,

B Hadronisation and DecayHadronisation:
B mesons: B+ = |b̄u >, B0d = |b̄d >, B0
s = |b̄s >, Bc = |b̄c >
B baryons: sofar discovered: Λb = |udb >, Ξb = |dsb >,
Σ+b = |usb >
heavier ones should exist not yet discovered.
Hadronisation ratio (if enough center of mass energy available):B+ : B0 : Bs : λb = 0.4 : 0.4 : 0.1 : 0.09Other baryons have very small x-section
Decay:
Average lifetime of B hadrons ∼ 1.5 ps
Decay into lighter quarks → transition to quarks of other families→ only possible via weak interaction

B Physics
Standard Model Quark sector extremely well understood:
• Very precise theoretical predictions for weak IA
• High statistic B decays give experimentally high precisionmeasurements.
→ B physics: unique place to perform precision tests of theStandard Model (measurement of branching ratios, CP violation...)
Any deviation from Standard Model expectation:Unambiguous sign of “New Physics”

Motivation
Precision B physics as probe for New Physics in loop processes:
Box diagrams Penguin decays
Many New Physics models predict deviations from SM predictions.
Complementary to direct searches by ATLAS and CMS.
Direct searches sensitive to particles up to 1 TeV.
Indirect searches are sensitive to particles up to 10 TeV.
(new particles in the loop are virtual). – p.16/39

B Physics & LHC Detectors
ATLAS/CMS:

• central detectors, |η| <2.5
• B physics using muon triggers
