Objective
CP violation and flavour changing phenomena provide an unique window to physics beyond the Standard Model. Our main goal is to extract information about new particles, for instance the super-partners of quarks (squarks) predicted by the super-symmetric ( SUSY) extension of the Standard Model (SM), by fully taking advantage of the data from B meson experiments (Babar, Belle, LHCb). Being the world highest luminosity machines, these experiments are able to observe extremely rare B decays, in which we would search for manifestations of CP and flavour violations not predicted by SM.
In SUSY models, extra sources of CP and flavour violation are introduced through SUSY breaking, which explains the large masses of SUSY particles. Our target is to strictly constrain the flavour structure of the down-type squark mass matrix by using data from B meson experiments. We will proceed our project providing high precision theoretical predictions for B decays, which is most important since new physics effects can be extremely small.
The largest difficulties for this purpose come from strong interaction effects, requiring various techniques in quantum chromo-dynamics (QCD). We will carefully incorporate their latest developments, such as QCD factorisation, perturbative QCD method, QCD sum-rule and large Nc expansion (Nc being the number of colours). Actually, CP violation and flavour structure are also intensively studied in the neutrino sector, triggered by the confirmation of massive neutrinos by SuperKamiokande and SNO experiments.
It has recently been shown that the observed third and second-generation neutrino oscillations can have an impact on the same generation quarks (bottom to strange) transition, in the framework of SUSY Grand Unified Theory (GUT). We are therefore interested in comparing our results from B physics with SUSY GUT models well motivated by neutrino physics and its implication for Cosmology.
