X1.00001: Heavy Flavor Physics - News from the Tevatron Invited Speaker: In this talk, I will summarize recent heavy flavor measurements utilizing up to 5~fb$^{-1}$ of data from the Fermilab Tevatron proton-antiproton collider. Several new $b$ baryons have been observed in the past two years and I will discuss the current status of these exciting studies. Recent results for the CP-violating phase $\phi_s^{J/\psi\phi}=-2\beta_s^{J/\psi\phi}$ suggest a new source of CP violation in the CKM matrix. I will report on this and other measurements yielding information about CP violation and the $B_s^0-\bar{B}_s^0$ width difference. I will show new results for rare $B_d$ and $B_s$ decays and $\Upsilon$ polarization. Finally, mixing and CP violation in charm decays will be explored. [Preview Abstract] |

X1.00003: The e+e- perspective on the state of heavy flavor physics Invited Speaker: Beyond the beautiful confirmation of the CKM model of three-generation quark flavor mixing and CP violation in weak interactions, the B-factories have left a legacy of precision measurements involving heavy quark and lepton flavors. While there are a few hints, these measurements have not yet revealed any evidence for physics beyond the Standard Model. Proposed future e+e- B-factories will be capable of accumulating data samples roughly 100 times those of the existing B-factories, allowing measurements sensitive to effects predicted by many Standard Model extensions. In this talk I will review the status of existing B-factories measurements, concentrating on those most sensitive to physics beyond the Standard Model. I will also discuss the potential physics reach of proposed next-generation e+e- heavy flavor factories, and their relevance to HEP at the dawn of the LHC era. [Preview Abstract] |
