Workshop on the Discovery Potential 
of an Asymmetric B Factory at 1036 Luminosity

SLAC
Thursday-Saturday, May 8-10, 2003


Announcement:

With the now rather precise measurement of sin2beta by BABAR and Belle, it is likely that all Standard Model CKM phase accounts for the CP-violating effects measured to date. The inability of the Standard Model CP violation to account for the matter-antimatter asymmetry of the universe tells us, however, that there must be sources of CP violation beyond the Standard Model. 

This workshop is aimed at refining our understanding of the capabilities of an asymmetric B Factory at the very high luminosity of 1036 cm-2s-1 to uncover effects in rare heavy quark decays that could lead to progress in finding physics beyond the Standard Model. By confronting detailed predictions of Standard Model extensions such as supersymmetry, little Higgs or extra dimensions, with experiments feasible with an integrated data set of 10 to 50 ab-1, we will explore the power of a Super B Factory to illuminate the flavor sector of physics beyond the Standard Model and compare this capability with that of experiments based at hadron coliiders.

The three-day Workshop, consisting of plenary and parallel sessions,  is open to theorists and experimentalists alike.

Talks will be posted to the BaBar internal web and will be in general publicly available,

Program:

The workshop is scheduled for May 8-10, 2003.

The agenda is available in pdf format and in html format with links to the presentations.

You can find in the Babar 1036 study group home page some background material.

Registration:

Registration is closed for this workshop.

LIST OF PARTICIPANTS

Working Groups:

Four working groups have been established to organize of the workshop and write the report. Below you find the links to the drop areas for the working groups, to be used for exchange of material. The Babar organizer in each group should have write access to the corresponding directory:
$BFROOT/www/Organization/1036_Study_Group/WGx

Working Group Title Organizers
WG1 Rare Processes G. Hiller, T. Hurth, A. Ryd
WG2 Nonleptonic Decays and Angles of the Unitarity Triangle D. London, R. Cahn, A. Roodman
WG3 Semileptonic Decays and Sides of the Unitarity Triangle Z. Ligeti, I. Stewart, U. Langenegger
WG4 New Physics G.Giudice, Y.Okada, P. Harrison

Other Information:

PDF is the preferred format. A computer with projector as well as an overhead projector will be available during the workshop. So computer based presentations need not to be printed on transparencies.
