Core Elements of SLAC BaBar ProgramCore Elements of SLAC BaBar Program
• Detector: Provide infrastructure, support, engineering and technical support, and management (see Hassan’s talk)
• Computing: Provide infrastructure, support, and management (Gregory)
• Physicist Collaborators (SLAC BaBar)– Overview-Structure and Leadership (Blair)– Computing (Gregory)– LST Upgrade Completion (Mark)– Physics Sketches (Matt, Rainer, Veronique)

• Detector and Computing Upgrades• Physics Analysis (more later)• Leadership –May 2007
– Collaboration Management• Technical Coordinator• Computing Coordinator• Council Vice Chair
– Operations and Technical• Operations Manager• System Leadership & Technical Board
– DCH– DIRC– EMC– IFR/LST – Trigger– MDI
– Physics and Tools Convenors (6/42-May 07 Snapshot)• Quarkonia• Hadronic Spectra• 3 body Charmless• Semileptonic• Neutral Particles Reconstruction and ID
– Standing and Ad-hoc Committees • Exec board; Speakers Bureau; Pub Board; Beyond 2008Task Force; Membership Committee; etc.

Detector and Computing: Two Upgrade Examples-2007Detector and Computing: Two Upgrade Examples-2007
• Detector hardware upgrades have been completed with strong SLAC support.– “Final” Detector hardware upgrade was IFR Barrel
(LST Installation) completed 11/2006. (See Mark’s talk)
• Software upgrades still being explored that improve performance-E.g., Improved pattern recognition for tracking (Ofte).
DOE Program Review, SLAC, June 2007

• Improve efficiency of track reconstruction by allowing additional patterns:– 3-hit track segments and– 4 hits in 3 layers of a superlayer.
Improving track pattern recognition

● Reduce background from incorrectly assigned hits by an improved track-finding algorithm.
● Have obtained
– 0.5-2 % increase in tracking efficiency, most notably for low p
T
– Efficiency and purity improvements by up to a few percent.

• 10 Stanford Ph.D. Graduate Students (5/07).
• Research Associates– Typically 10-14 – How many do we

SLAC BaBar Physics AnalysisPhysics Analysis• Fully collaborative physics analysis model….. across institutions
and groups.• Broad program. Many different “key” results.• SLAC is full participant in all phases. E.g., there were 484 BaBar
Analysis Notes last year. SLAC physicist was the lead editor on 60.• Some examples of SLAC BaBar’s interests:
– CP Violation in B 00 &, more generally, B mm’ where m and m’ are charmless mesons. – Inclusive semi-leptonic B decays and the extraction of |Vub| & |Vcb|– CP Violation and search for new physics in B Ks ; B K+ K-Ks ; B KLKsKs
– Search for Exotic Baryons (Pentaquarks)– Search for narrow mesonic resonances (Ds, X(3872), etc.)– Inclusive Hadronic Spectra; K,p,,c,……………..– Radiative Penguin decays; Inclusive b sInclusive bdK*; B; B; etc.– ISR; Exclusive hadronic final states; Inclusive and exclusive measurements of R.– Exclusive VV production in e+e- collisions.– Leptonic b & c decays; (e.g., B e D Ds – Exclusive B decays; B p+p-’K*– CP violation in +- B decays– Determination of Hyperon Spins.

Future Challenges For SLAC BABARFuture Challenges For SLAC BABAR
• Collaboration Manpower Base is slowly decreasing, with….– Ever larger data sets for Physics Analyses– Computing Capacity Growing– Luminosity/Background growth.– Increasing pressure on total manpower as LHC draws closer, and
experimental data taking ends.– Intensive analysis period following end of data taking.Flat need for SLAC operational support through end
of running FY2008Substantial needs for computing support during
intense analysis phase (FY2009-2011).(Fy2009-2014?) Fully exploit the unique data set for
physics.

SummarySummary
• SLAC BaBar:– Provides infrastructure, management, and
technical support for detector and computing.– Physics groups partner with the Collaboration
on physics analysis, computing & detector operations.
