Physics Colloquium, May 9, 2006Cracking the Unitarity Triangle: A Quest in B PhysicsMasahiro MoriiHarvardThe Standard Model of particle physics, despite its great successes, fails to give a compelling explanation for the pattern of masses and mixing of the particles found in Nature. The problem is most evident in the quark-mixing matrix, which governs the interactions between different flavors of quarks. In this talk, I will discuss why B physics is an attractive way of hunting for New Physics, and how the experimental constraints can be expressed concisely with the so-called Unitarity Triangle. I will provide an overview of the recent progress, mainly from the B-Factory experiments, in constraining the Unitarity Triangle and discuss future prospects. 4:00 p.m., Physics Research Building (PRB), Room 1080Reception at 3:45 p.m., Atrium, PRB |
