Outline
Goals and challenges
KLp0 nn
The “kaon revolution”: KL p+e- n, |Vus|, and the recalibration of
kaon branching fractions
Electroweak penguin/box diagram processes:
BK*g, Brg, BXs g and BK l+l-, BK* l+l-
Semileptonic B decays and the measurement of |Vcb |, |Vub |, mb, mc
[Leptonic B decays: Bsm+m-, B+t + nt]
Perspective and conclusions
Far too many topics to cover... my apologies! Parallel session talks contain many
more details (Bizjak, Godang, Koeneke, Mohapatra,…)
Rare and Semileptonic Decays: Goals
Rare decay: loop/box process
test SM at 1-loop level
new (heavy) particles can be
produced in virtual intermediate
states; can compete with SM amps
search for effects of new physics

• Amplitude factorizes single
hadronic current
• Form factors/QCD parameters
can sometimes be extracted
from data or be calculated
• Precise rate predictions possible
for some processes
• Methods: HQET, heavy-quark
expansions, lattice QCD,…
Understanding dynamics is an
important goal in itself!
CKM matrix: b and s decays are both suppressed!

Preliminary results on KLp0nn from KEK E391a
1. Measure g position
and energy in CsI
2. Reconstruct decay

Mgg=M(p0).
• Prelim. result uses 1.14 x
109 KL decays; e=0.73x10-2
• So far, only very small
fraction of data used.
• No events observed in

• Account for 99.93% of decays; 5 ratios of branching fractions
• 105-106 events/mode; careful treatment of radiation from electrons.

Perspective/Conclusions
K Physics
• Early results from 1st dedicated KLp0nn experiment
• KL branching fractions re-measured: 5% to 8% shifts
• |Vus| shift: +3%
• Unitarity of 1st row of CKM matrix looks better; work in progress
on |Vud|
B Physics
• Brg observed; provides interesting constraint on |Vtd|/|Vts|
• Many bsg and bsl+l- modes observed; studies of kinematic
distributions are especially interesting
• |Vcb| measured to 2% via inclusive method; mb well determined
• |Vub| precision now below 10%.
• Keep pushing inclusive vs. exclusive crosscheck!
• Leptonic B decays providing interesting sensitivity to new physics
• B factories will push to 1 ab-1. Many more results to come!

Projection to 1 ab-1 (data taken to be on
BK fit curve from present measurement).
In the high q2 region alone, we will measure the branching fraction
with an uncertainty of (6-7)% , or (3-3.5)% uncertainty on |Vub |. Lattice
theorists expect to reach 6%, so exclusive/inclusive will be similar.
