Theory Seminar DATE: 2013-01-08 14:00 - 15:00 PLACE: Kenkyu Honkan 1F, Meeting Room 1 TITLE: Supersymmetric contributions to B_s --> φ π^0 and B_s --> φ ρ^0 decays in SCET CONTACT: Keiko Nagao, knagao-AT-post.kek.jp SPEAKER: Dr. Gaber Faisel  (National Central University (Taiwan)) LANGUAGE: English URL: http://theory-center.kek.jp/theory/archives/s_c/seminar ABSTRACT: In this talk I present the study of the decay modes B_s --> φ π^0 and B_s --> φ ρ^0 using Soft Collinear Effective Theory. I briefly give an introduction to Soft Collinear Effective Theory and discuss the importance of electroweak penguins in the decay modes B_s --> φ π^0 and B_s --> φ ρ^0. The branching ratios of these decay modes are so small in the SM and thus provide a test for new physics beyond SM. Please note that I will be at KEK only between Jan/07(Mon) and Jan/10(Thu). Pleae organize the seminar in this week. Back
