Branching Fractions And Amplitude Analysis Of B± → Φks0Π± Decays, Alyssa D. Loos Jan 2018

Branching Fractions And Amplitude Analysis Of B± → Φks0Π± Decays, Alyssa D. Loos

Theses and Dissertations

The Belle detector is a particle physics detector that is located around the collision point of the asymmetric-energy e+e- collider KEKB. Both detector and collider are located at the KEK international lab in Japan. This thesis uses the full Belle data sample of 772 × 106 BB¯ pairs collected at the Υ(4S) resonance. Decays with large b → s penguin transitions in the standard model (SM), such as B± → φKS0π±, could be a source of CP violation. This is important in the race to find the mechanism behind the universe’s matter-antimatter imbalance. b → s penguin transitions allow us …

A general framework for the renormalization group analysis of self-organized critical sandpile models is formulated. The usual real space renormalization scheme for lattice models when applied to nonequilibrium dynamical models must be supplemented by feedback relations coming from the stationarity conditions. On the basis of these ideas the dynamically driven renormalization group is applied to describe the boundary and bulk critical behavior of sandpile models. A detailed description of the branching nature of sandpile avalanches is given in terms of the generating functions of the underlying branching process.
