SuperB: a linear high-luminosity B Factory

2005

Abstract

This paper is based on the outcome of the activity that has taken place during the recent workshop on "SuperB in Italy" held in Frascati on November 11-12, 2005. The workshop was opened by a theoretical introduction of Marco Ciuchini and was structured in two working groups. One focused on the machine and the other on the detector and experimental issues. * The present status on CP is mainly based on the results achieved by BABAR and Belle. Estabilishment of the indirect CP violation in B sector in 2001 and of the direct CP violation in 2004 thanks to the success of PEP-II and KEKB e + e − asymmetric B Factories operating at the center of mass energy corresponding to the mass of the Υ(4S ). With the two B Factories taking data, the Unitarity Triangle is now beginning to be overconstrained by improving the measurements of the sides and now also of the angles α, and γ. We are also in presence of the very intriguing results about the measurements of sin2β in the time dependent analysis of decay channels via penguin loops, where b → sss and b → sdd. τ physics, in particular LFV search, as well as charm and ISR physics are important parts of the scientific program of a SuperB Factory. The physics case together with possible scenarios for the high luminosity SuperB Factory based on the concepts of the Linear Collider and the related experimental issues are discussed.

This report presents the results of studies that investigate the physics reach at a Super B factory, an asymmetric-energy e + e − collider with a design luminosity of 8 × 10 35 cm −2 s −1 , which is around 50 times as large as the peak luminosity achieved by the KEKB collider. The studies focus on flavor physics and CP violation measurements that could be carried out in the LHC era. The physics motivation, key observables, measurement methods and expected precisions are presented. 5.13.

SuperB: next-generation e+ e-B-factory collider
Anton Bogomyagkov, Antoine Chance

The SuperB international team continues to optimize the design of an electron-positron collider, which will allow the enhanced study of the origins of flavor physics. The project combines the best features of a linear collider (high singlecollision luminosity) and a storage-ring collider (high repetition rate), bringing together all accelerator physics aspects to make a very high luminosity of 10 36 cm −2 sec −1 . This asymmetric-energy collider with a polarized electron beam will produce hundreds of millions of B-mesons at the Υ(4S) resonance. The present design is based on extremely low emittance beams colliding at a large Piwinski angle to allow very low β y without the need for ultra short bunches. Use of crab-waist sextupoles will enhance the luminosity, suppressing dangerous resonances and allowing for a higher beam-beam parameter. The project has flexible beam parameters, improved dynamic aperture, and spin-rotators in the Low Energy Ring for longitudinal polarization of the electron beam at the Interaction Point. Optimized for best colliding-beam performance, the facility may also provide high-brightness photon beams for synchrotron radiation applications.

The Super-B project accelerator status
S. Tomassini

2010

The SuperB project is an international effort aiming at building in Italy a very high luminosity e{sup +}e{sup -} (10{sup 36} cm{sup -2} sec{sup -1}) asymmetric collider at the Y(4S) energy in the CM. The accelerator design has been extensively studied and changed during the past year. The present design, based on the new collision scheme, with large Piwinski angle and the use of 'crab waist' sextupoles already successfully tested at the DA{Phi}NE {Phi}-Factory at LNF Frascati, provides larger flexibility, better dynamic aperture and spin manipulation sections in the Low Energy Ring (LER) for longitudinal polarization of the electron beam at the Interaction Point (IP). The Interaction Region (IR) has been further optimized in terms of apertures and reduced backgrounds in the detector. The injector complex design has been also updated. A summary of the project status will be presented in this paper. The SuperB collider can reach a peak luminosity of 10{sup 36} cm{sup -2} sec{...

New results from the B factories Belle and BaBar
Gilah Leder

2007

The BELLE detector has already accumulated e + e − collision data at the KEKB-collider corresponding to 600 f b −1. BaBar has accumulated data of approximately 390 f b −1 at PEP-II. Both are running on asymmetric energy e + e − colliders at the ϒ(4S) energy. The paper selects important results from both experiments with the emphasis on CP violation in B meson decays and its implications for the Unitarity Triangle.

bottom decays, charm decays, heavy flavor, hadronic decays We review recent experimental results on lifetimes and hadronic decays of hadrons that contain c and b quarks. The theoretical implications of these results are also considered. An understanding of hadronic decays of heavy quarks is required to interpret the CP violating asymmetries in B decays that will be observed in experiments planned for the near future.

Search for new physics at a super-B factory
Thomas Browder

Pramana, 2004

The importance of a Super-B Factory in the search for New Physics, in particular, due to CP-od phase(s) from physics beyond the Standard Model is surveyed. The first point to emphasize is that we know now how to directly measure all three angles of the unitarity triangle very cleanly, i.e. without theoretical assumptions with irreducible theory error < ∼ 1%; however this requires much more luminosity than is currently available at B-factories. Direct searches via penguin-dominated hadronic modes as well as radiative, pair-leptonic and semileptonic decays are also discussed. Null tests of the SM are stressed as these will play a crucial role especially if the effects of BSM phase(s) on B-physics are small.

The Physics Program of a High-Luminosity Asymmetric B Factory at SLAC
E. Bloom

1989

A high-luminosity asymmetric energy B Factory, proposed as an upgrade to the PEP storage ring at SLAC, provides the best opportunity to study CP violation as a means of testing the consistency of the Standard Model. If the phenomenon of CP violation is explained by the Standard Model simply through the non-zero angles and phase of the Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix, then there are precise relations between the K-M parameters and the various measurable CP-violating asyrrunetries in B meson decay. Should these consistency relations fail, the origin of CP violation must lie outside the Standard Model framework. Our measurements would then lead to the first experiment-driven extensions of the Standard Model. The B Factory will also carry out a varied, high-quality program of studies of other aspects of the physics of b quarks, as well as high-precision measurements in r and charm physics. We describe a detailed series of measurements to be carried out in the first few years at a peak luminosity of 3 x 10 33 cm-2 sec-1 , the initial luminosity goal of the B Factory, as well as the program accessible to a larger data sample.

Physics opportunities for a B Factory
Helen Quinn

In the short time alloted for this talk it is not possible to review all the physics opportunities offered by a B Factory. I focus on the physics of CP Violation and the resulting tests of the Standard Model. In this talk a"B Factory" in will be taken to mean an asymmetric e+e-collider running at the 'Yf(4S) with a luminosity of 3 x 1O33 or greater. The decay of the Y(4S) is essentially 50% to B+B-and 50% to go@, so such a facility provides a copious and clean source of B mesons. The purpose of the asymmetric configuration is to produce the B's with high enough laboratory momenta that the two decays are typically well separated in space. The aim is to be able to reconstruct the two B-decay vertices independently and to measure their separation. This then allows the measurement of time-dependent correlated decay proba.bilities, which we shall see are essential for the extraction of CP violation physics. In the past couple of years groups at SLAC ') and Cornell') a.s well as here at KEK and in Europe have refined and advanced the a.ccelera.tor physics questions associated with such a machine and .now have formulated detailed designs. 1 am not competent to judge the feasability of these designs but I am told that it is no longer just a theorists dream that such a machine could be built, provided that somewhere the funding is sufficient for the job. I fervently hope this will occur, beca.use I think the physics opportunities for such a machine are extremely rich.
