Flavor Physics

Parallel Talk

We search for the rare decays Bs to mu+mu- and D+ to pi+ mu+ mu- using a large data set of proton-antiproton collisions recorded by the Dzero detector operating at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. These modes are expected to have sizeable enhancements above the Standard Model rate due to new physics. The Bs annihilation rate is expected to have orders of magnitude enhancement in...

Parallel Talk

We present the current status of rare B decay searches B0(s) --> mu+ mu-, B0 --> mu+ mu-, B+ --> K+ mu+ mu-, B0 --> K*0 mu+ mu-, B0(s) --> phi mu+ mu-, and a search for D0 -> mu mu as well as other rare B and D decay modes at CDF operating at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider.

293. Study of the decay Bs->J/psi phi at CMS and ATLAS

Flavor Physics

Parallel Talk

The Bs->J/psi phi decay allows to study many properties of the Bs system, such as the difference between the widths of the two weak eigenstates or the CP-violating phase phi_s, and these parameters can show significant deviations due to contributions from non-SM processes. The prospects of the measurement of the width difference with the CMS and the ATLAS detector at the LHC will be presented.

387. Rare B decays at LHCb

Flavor Physics

Parallel Talk

The LHCb experiment will search for New Physics in Bs -> mumu decays using the data collected during the very first physics run of LHC, with a 90% CL exclusion sensitivity down to the SM prediction. The latest expectations, based on MC studies with fully simulated events, will be presented. The LHCb sensitivity to other rare and radiative B decays will also be reviewed.

209. Recent progress on supersymmetric effects in rare K decays

Flavor Physics

Parallel Talk

The possibility to constrain the MSSM parameter space using the rare K decays K --> pi nu nubar and KL --> pi0 l+ l- will be illustrated. Particular emphasis will be set on the information one can get from the pattern of deviation the four modes could exhibit with respect to the SM. Specific scenarios considered are, within the MSSM, large and moderate tan(beta), as well as the minimal...

389. Flavour symmetries and the SUSY soft-breaking sector: EDMs and FCNCs

Flavor Physics

Parallel Talk

The breaking of a Flavour symmetry can explain the observed hierarchy of masses and mixings of the SM fermions. In a supergravity-mediation mechanism of the SUSY breaking, we can expect the soft masses to receive non-universal contributions from the breaking of this flavour symmetry at a high scale. We analyse the effects of these non-universal soft-terms at low energies both in collider...
