Working Group 5

Rare Decays and Beyond the Standard Model

Theorist Conveners:
JoAnne Hewett -> hewett@slac.stanford.edu
Antonio Masiero -> masiero@ipdgr4.pd.infn.it

Experimentalist Conveners:
Steve Playfer -> playfer@pp.ph.ed.ac.uk
Steve Wagner -> stevew@slac.stanford.edu

This group will include studies of the following kinds of issues:
  • Vtd from B --> d gamma.
    Experimental and theoretical issues.
  • Vts from B --> s gamma
    Experimental and theoretical issues.
  • B --> tau nu, mu nu etc.
  • B --> mu+mu- etc.
  • B --> s l lbar etc.
  • Setting limits on Beyond Standard Model Theories from these B decays, from CP violation measurements, and other constraints.
  • Review of range of beyond-standard-model predictions: Are there patterns that distinguish particular theories?
    •
