Constraining the CKM matrix
8.0 ,22.0 ALarge uncertainty
Precise measurement of Vtd • properly constrain the CKM matrix• yield info on strength of CP-violation
Vtd can be measured via• rare kaon decay • mixing in the B system

QCDVm tdd F but large QCD effects dominate the extraction of Vtd
Neutral B meson transition from particle to anti-particle state, and vice-versa Weak eigenstates mass eigenstatesCaused by higher order flavor changing weak interactions: mq= m(Bo

Mixing parameters xq= mq/q and yq= q/ q where q=d,s
First oscillations observed at ARGUS (’87) in the Bd system
signaled a large top quark mass (later verified by CDF and DØ)
What is mixing ?
consider ratio from Lattice QCD
1005.0507.0 psmd
md has been precisely measured: the world average is
a direct measurement of ms + md(current value) + Vts(relatively well known) Vtd

Rich B Physics program at DØ benefits from :• Large muon acceptance: || < 2• Forward tracking coverage: || < 1.7 (tracking), || < 3 (silicon)• Robust muon trigger
A typical oscillation analysis involves:
– Selection of final states suitable for the study
• Tagging the meson flavor at decay time (final state)
• Tagging the meson flavor at production time (initial state)
– Proper time reconstruction for each meson candidate
Essential ingredients of a mixing analysis
Bs mixing studies at DØ: XDlB SS
The Tevatron B-factory and the new DØ
Bs oscillates at least 30 times faster than B0 ! a Bs mixing measurement is extremely challenging.
We think we understand the mixing of B’s… A deviation from this simple diagram is a deviation from the Standard Model (New Physics)

New Result: Combination of additional Ds decay modes
Future Prospects:
Add Same Side Tagging, hadronic modes
Add more data (4-8 fb-1 in next 3 years) with improved
detector – additional layer of silicon between beampipe
and Silicon Tracker (Layer0) – better impact parameter
