Outline• Introduction & Motivation
• Recapitulate: Crutches are unavoidable
• Key idea -> common path to several crutches
• Lattice considerations
• HLChPT & its implications
• Outlook
LAT07 .....A. Soni
Introduction & Motivation• Via the UT, Lattice Weak Matrix Elements
effort played a pivotal role in attaining a milestone in our understanding of CPV phenomena
• For the future,though, exceedingly limited menu is/should be a very serious concern
LAT07 .....A. Soni
Past performance & future prospects
• Some gloating over the past is justified.
• Note, though, that program all initiated in ’80’s
• Refinements therein are certainly useful
• But expt/phenom needs are NOT frozen in
time….moves often speedily (esp.expt)
LAT07 .....A. Soni
ILLUSTRATES power of B decays
• For 2 or more common modes of D0 , \bar D0 both weak and strong phases can be extracted 2 modes mean 4 observables versus
4 unknowns [rBM ,wk phase γ,δstrong (mode1),
δstrong (mode2)]. Thus FOR THE FIRST TIMEa data driven method is able to tame DIRECT CPV. Availablity of dozens of FS allows for numerous similar useful applications
LAT07 .....A. Soni
Special note: Br(B->\barD0 M),is very difficult to measure
experimentally due to technical(exptal)
complications

Crutches are unavoidable
I. Infinite volume….lessons learned via:• D->K pi…Bernard, Simone,A.S.’90;• Abada et al, ’90• Maiani + Testa,’90• Ciuchini,Franco,Martinelli,Silvestrini,’96• II. Finite volume (K)….Lellouch, Luscher’,’00;• Lin,Martinelli,Sachrajda,Testa,’01• Christ, Kim, Yamazaki ,’06• Kim, Sachrajda, Sharpe,’06

Useful crutches
• QCDF
• pQCD
• SCET
• HLChpt
• ….
Key idea common to all these crutches is that

Application of HLChPT to B>DM(Christopher Aubin + A.S)
• For HL mesons, (following Wise;Donoghue+Burdman) marry HQET & ChPT….Now U(2m) spin-flavor symmetry on
the HQ side and standard SU(n)LXSU(n)R for m heavy and n light flavors.• For definiteness m=2; n=3• For now, just to provide a concrete,though crude, 0th
order step use LO HLChPT….NLO clearly highly desirable (i.e need a good student!)… Meantime…
LAT07 .....A. Soni
For B->D only the scalar piece is relevant & in LO leads tothe very simple (expected) relation:
Similar relations in LO for the B-> \bar D case.An important diference is that for π -> K
B0 -> BS

B->D (M) decays -> New “B”-parameters {to avoid confusion call B1-params (for decays)}
B,BSD0
For M=K , use BS ; also i=1,2Vac Sat leads to (e.g. for M=K):
1(or 1/3) MBs f Bs MD f D [contrast with (8/3)M2 f2 for the ΔB =2]
Qi from Heff ΔB=1, b->cu l OR b->u bar-c l
LAT07 .....A. Soni
Some Lattice Considerations• Relevant important decays involve no
quark loops, no mixing with LDO -> less worrysome even with mixed action approaches
However, partial cancellation{a la G+L’74; A+M’74} between contributions of Q1 & Q 2 puts more demand on accuracy.
• B1’s are simultaneously (along with the usual B’s) accessible & represent basically a new application
LAT07 .....A. Soni
Hand-waving estimate• Sqrt(rBM) ~ [Vub /(Vcb Vus) ~0.4]/{Neff}
• THUS what is relevant for (L)QCD
is a precise determination of {Neff} in
the above.
. Neff = [c2 + (c1/N)]/ [(c2/N) + c1 ]
LAT07 .....A. Soni
How well are rBM currently known?
• Sqrt(rBK ) (VS) ~ 0.16 +- ~ 0.08 {CRUDE GUESS} ( Large N + partial cancellation)
• Direct experimental determination (so far)has gotten the 1-σ error on rBK to be ~130% , i.e rBK =0.012+-0.015 (See hep-ex/0607065 &/or HFAG’07)
• Since of central interest is ratio which scales as {1/N} (in amplitude), concern reg. HLChpt may be addrssed by varying the momentum of M and/or lattice masses
LAT07 .....A. Soni
Possible Impact• Lattice determination of Neff can help in improving constraint on γ (using input
value of Vub ) Of course,eventually,experimentalist will simultaneously
extract both γ & rBK , as is
guaranteed by the method, then with input
from the lattice of Neff , exptal knowledge of rBK allows a new way to determine Vub /(Vcb
Vus)

Summary & OUTLOOK
.Non-leptonic weak decays continue to be challenging…HUGE POTENTIAL• Specific example: B->D^0 (\bar D0) K very useful for UT
phase γ and also for |Vub| possibly providing a new (NL) avenue to |Vub|
• HLChPT provides a starting point; LOChPT gives all relevant decay ΔB=1 amplitudes in terms of
charcteristic two fig. 8 (B1) parameters. Simulateously accessible along with usual mixing ( ΔB=2)
B-parameters• Numerous continuum ideas and tons of available data
should provide useful bridges.
