Near-term ProspectNear-term Prospectof B physics

Y. Kwon (Yonsei Univ.)

What I said in FPCP2003, to announce “FPCP2004 in Korea”...

and, this might be the sort that the organizers had in mindunder the subject “near-term prospect”...

overlaps... unavoidableoverlaps... unavoidable

With so many good talks in B physics at this conference; on both present & future – “Agent Provocateur” on hot topics

– “CKM summary”

– “New physics in B decays”

– “Super B Factories”

– as well as prospects for B physics @ hadron machines

– and all the excellent experimental result talks

It’s very hard to avoid much overlaps... if I want to give a standardized talks on “Near-term prospect”

So, I will just focus on personal favorites which I want/expect to see in B physics in the near future

And, this talk will in no way be theoretical

ProloguePrologue Tomorrow (Oct.9) used to be a national holiday,

in celebration of the invention of “Han-gul” (Korean alphabet system); a very successful system esp. in the modern digital era

It was a national project initiated (and finished) by the Great King Sejong in 15th C.

Before Han-gul, Koreans did not have its own alphabets, but borrowed Chinese characters for writing; not a very convenient choice, because they are two totally different languages

The best thing King Sejong did was to have thought differently; instead of imitating Chinese characters, Han-gul was based on 28 (now 24) character elements that have one-to-one (and onto) correspondence to phonetic sounds in Korean

““Think different!”Think different!”

During the last decade (plus more), everyone worked real hard in an anticipation of great things to come – preparing for the B-factories

And now, we are all enjoying a great success of B physics – in both experiment & theory

The next obvious path will be “Super-B”, but... Realistically, we still have a formidable task of convincing the tax-payers for one

“Great, you now have your CP violations. Congratulations on a great job well ‘done’!”

So, we should not be afraid of searching for “crazy” things

CPV & CKM Rare B – esp. in leptonic modes

– overlapping w/ my own talk here on Monday will be very brief

Personal list– Distributions

– Ordinary, but missing modes

– Never ignore “crazy” modes

What do we expect in a What do we expect in a few years?few years?

Obviously, statistics will increase– Let’s aim at 1/ab per each B-factory– i.e. approx. factor 4 from current sample– stat. err. ~½ x (now)

Better understanding of generic B & charm decays– some analyses are (somewhat) limited by

background systematics– help from CLEO-c & BES?

Improved theory– L-QCD– Other improvements

And a few surprises, hopely...

-- by the time LHC turns on

SummarySummary

Went through a list of subjects which might be interesting in a near-future in B physics– Belle vs. BaBar : TCPV in B0 + -

– Belle & BaBar vs. SM : TCPV in b s vs. b c

Many potentially interesting measurements are still stat.-limited, but...– For some parameters, esp. Vub, we do not

have much budget for error in any source– Details, e.g. background understanding shall

be important explore missing, ordinary modes

We shall never give up searching for “crazy” things
