Recent CDF Results on Bs Flavor Oscillations
The CDF Bs Mixing Group
CDF Executive Board Meeting
13 April 2006
J. Kroll (Penn), F. Bedeschi(INFN – Pisa), M. Herndon (Wisconsin), Ch. Paus (MIT), K. Pitts (Illinois)
The CDF Bs Mixing Group
80 people, 27 InstitutionsBig effort with many separateimportant contributions
Made Possible By the CDF Detector
• Trigger– high bandwidth & tremendous flexibility
– XFT and SVT
• Exquisite charged particle tracking– excellent pattern recognition & mass resolution (COT, solenoid)
– precise production & decay point reconstruction (L00, SVX)
• Particle identification– Time of Flight (TOF) and dE/dx in COT
• Extremely dedicated collaborators for operations– a lot of sleepless nights for analysis but many more for operations
– many of the analyzers spent sleepless nights working on critical detector components too
Sequence of CDF Run II Results on Bs Mixing
• Fall 2001: 1st heavy flavor signal from TTT data
• Summer 2002: 1st lifetime measurements
• Winter 2003: 1st fully reconstructed Bs! Ds
• Summer 2003: 1st blessed opposite side flavor tag (muon)
• Summer 2004: 1st B0 md result
A lot of ideas and development in Run I
Sequence of CDF Run II Results on Bs Mixing
• 1st result March 2005 – presented at Moriond QCD– hadronic modes from two-track trigger
– semileptonic modes from lepton + SVT trigger
– opposite-side flavor tags: muons, electrons, jet-charge
– combined sensitivity ms > 8.4 ps-1
• 1st update: October 2005 – presented at PANIC 2005– substantial increase in semileptonic signal from TTT
– several analysis improvements, e.g., • neural net based jet-charge opposite side flavor tag
• improved opposite side flavor tag calibration
• improved boost resolution on semileptonic decays
– combined sensitivity ms > 13.0 ps-1
These results based on 360 pb-1 (0d data)
Current CDF Bs Oscillations Analysis
• This winter our focus shifted to three main areas– adding same-side kaon tagging (SSKT)
• blessed on 23 February 2006
– adding 0h and 0i data (an additional 640pb-1) (done – see later)
– using partially reconstructed hadronic decays (still in progress)
• 1st step – add SSKT to 360pb-1 hadronic analysis– Schedule had us unblinding on 13 March 2006
– DØ announcement at Moriond EWK on 12 March 2006
– CDF unblinded hadronic scan on 13 March 2006 as foreseen
– found ~3 excess @ ms = 17.3 ps-1
– 0d hadronic-only result already much more significant than DØ
– preblessed at B meeting on 16 March 2006
– decided to add 0h & 0i data asap for both hadronics & semileptonics
DØ Result reminder: oscillation probability
Amplitude peaks @ ms = 19ps-1
2.5 discrepant with A=0 (1%)
17 < ms < 21 ps-1 @ 90% CL
10% compatible with A=1
Probability that randomfluctuation produces this signalp-value = (5.0 § 0.3)%
Presented at Moriond EWK on 3/12/06
CDF Hadronic Data (355pb-1)We were on schedule to unblind 1st part of hadronic data on 3/13/06
This result was comparable in sensitivity to DØ result
We had a lot more data, so we decided to add it, and fast

Rapid Progress from 3/13 to 3/31
• This was a well-tuned analysis & extensively reviewed– Winter 2005 had two independent semileptonic analyses
• included independent fits and data sets, which were fed to each other• direct comparison of amplitude scans
– also independent lifetime measurement in Bs! Ds• Emphasis on adding new data was validation
– signal invariant mass distributions– signal lifetime distributions– particle identification (TOF and dE/dx)– proper time resolution
• Had to understand how to move from limit to measurement– required evaluation of probability of background fluctuation– determination of ms including systematic uncertainties
• Unblinded amplitude scans after B meeting on 3/30/06– presented at Joint Physics Meeting on 3/31/2006
Result: Amplitude Scans in 1 fb-1
Hadronic Decays Semileptonic Decays
Single experiment sensitivity > combination of previous results
Result: -ln(likelihood) & ms, |Vtd/Vts|
A = 1.01 § 0.29 (3.5)
p value: 0.5%
Limited by theoretical(lattice) uncertainties

Since Blessing on 6 April 2006
• Special Wine & Cheese on Monday 10 April 2006– 3 rehersals: Friday & Sunday afternoon, Monday morning
– 1 West was standing room only
– spectacular performance by speaker Ivan Furic
• FNAL press release on Tuesday 11 April 2006
• 1st Conference presentation at FPCP 2006, Vancouver, BC– CDF contingent flew Monday night
– Rehersal in hotel room Tuesday morning
– Excellent presentation by Guillelmo Gomez Ceballos• Received with great enthusiasm by Flavor community
• Several requests for seminars from National Labs– ANL, BNL, DESY, LBNL, SLAC …
Public Documentation
• PRL in preparation– 1st draft: Ch. Paus, JK
– Godparents: Ristori (Chair), Glenzinski, Wuerthwein
– Heinrich, Punzi are statistics committee consultants
– plan for accelerated review process
• Public Document (CDFNOTE 8204)– K. Pitts editor, many contributors
– circulating in collaboration now – please read and send comments
– would hope to make public by next week
– could serve as PRD draft
• Web page– link on main CDF public page to main plots & talks
– http://www-cdf.fnal.gov/physics/new/bottom/060406.blessed-Bsmix/
What’s Next?
• Analysis improvements (all already well underway)– add satellite peaks (Ds
*, Ds) in hadronic modes
– neural networks for hadronic signal selection
– use all semileptonic trigger paths (lepton + SVT, SUSY dilepton)
– neural networks for opposite side tags
– improve SSKT by combining kinematics and particle id
– use particle id in signal selection (Ds! K*K)
• Technical improvements– reprocess all data offline version 6
at least 1st 360 pb-1
– improvements to fitter implementation• e.g., replace ascii input file with ntuple
• Related physics results (e.g., lifetimes)
Goal: 5 observation for ICHEP 2006
