Super B Progress Report for Physics
Abstract
Super B is a high luminosity e + e - collider that will be able to indirectly probe new physics at energy scales far beyond the reach of any man made accelerator planned or in existence. Just as detailed understanding of the Standard Model of particle physics was developed from stringent constraints imposed by flavour changing processes between quarks, the detailed structure of any new physics is severely constrained by flavour processes. In order to elucidate this structure it is necessary to perform a number of complementary studies of a set of golden channels. With these measurements in hand, the pattern of deviations from the Standard Model behavior can be used as a test of the structure of new physics. If new physics is found at the LHC, then the many golden measurements from Super B will help decode the subtle nature of the new physics. However if no new particles are found at the LHC, Super B will be able to search for new physics at energy scales up to 10-100 TeV. In either scenario, flavour physics measurements that can be made at Super B play a pivotal role in understanding the nature of physics beyond the Standard Model. Examples for using the interplay between measurements to discriminate New Physics models are discussed in this document.s detail the Physics case of the Super B Project.
