CP violation and the CKM matrix: assessing the impact of the asymmetric B factories

J Charles, A Höcker, H Lacker, S Laplace… - The European Physical …, 2005 - Springer
We present an up-to-date profile of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix with emphasis
on the interpretation of recent CP-violation results from the B factories. For this purpose, we …

-mixing matrix elements from lattice QCD for the Standard Model and beyond

A Bazavov, C Bernard, CM Bouchard, CC Chang… - Physical Review D, 2016 - APS
We calculate—for the first time in three-flavor lattice QCD—the hadronic matrix elements of
all five local operators that contribute to neutral B 0-and B s-meson mixing in and beyond the …

AJ Buras - Physics Letters B, 2003 - Elsevier
The predictions for the Bs, d–B s, d mixing mass differences ΔMs, d and the branching ratios
Br (B s, d→ μ μ ̄) within the Standard Model (SM) and its extensions suffer from …

- and -meson decay constants from three-flavor lattice QCD

A Bazavov, C Bernard, CM Bouchard, C DeTar… - Physical Review D …, 2012 - APS
We calculate the leptonic decay constants of B (s) and D (s) mesons in lattice QCD using
staggered light quarks and Fermilab bottom and charm quarks. We compute the heavy-light …

Charmed-meson decay constants in three-flavor lattice QCD

We present the first lattice QCD calculation with realistic sea quark content of the D+-meson
decay constant f D+. We use the MILC Collaboration's publicly available ensembles of lattice …

Probing new physics through B mixing: Status, benchmarks and prospects

P Ball, R Fleischer - The European Physical Journal C-Particles and Fields, 2006 - Springer
As is well known, B 0 d, s–B̄ 0 d, s mixing offers a profound probe into the effects of physics
beyond the standard model. The data obtained at the e+ eB factories have already provided …

Three lectures on meson mixing and CKM phenomenology

U Nierste - arXiv preprint arXiv:0904.1869, 2009 - arxiv.org
I give an introduction to the theory of meson-antimeson mixing, aiming at students who plan
to work at a flavour physics experiment or intend to do associated theoretical studies. I …

Staggered chiral perturbation theory for heavy-light mesons

C Aubin, C Bernard - Physical Review D—Particles, Fields, Gravitation, and …, 2006 - APS
We incorporate heavy-light mesons into staggered chiral perturbation theory (S χ PT),
working to leading order in 1/m Q, where m Q is the heavy-quark mass. At first nontrivial …

Atmospheric neutrinos can make beauty strange

R Harnik, DT Larson, H Murayama, A Pierce - Physical Review D, 2004 - APS
The large observed mixing angle in atmospheric neutrinos, coupled with grand unification,
motivates the search for large mixing between right-handed strange and bottom squarks …
