Abstract
The Belle II Theory Interface Platform (B2TiP) was created as a physics prospects working group
of the Belle II collaboration in June 2014. It offered a platform where theorists and experimentalists
could work together to elucidate the potential impacts of the Belle II program, which includes
a wide scope of physics topics: B physics, charm, τ , quarkonium physics, electroweak precision
measurements, and dark sector searches. It is composed of nine working groups (WGs), which are coordinated by teams of theory and experiment conveners: WG1, Semileptonic and leptonic B
Decays; WG2, Radiative and Electroweak Penguins; WG3, φ1 and φ2 (Time-Dependent CP Violation)
Measurements; WG4, φ3 Measurement; WG5, Charmless Hadronic B Decay; WG6, Charm;
WG7, Quarkonium(-like); WG8, τ and Low-Multiplicity Processes; WG9, New Physics. We organized
workshops twice a year from 2014 until 2016, which moved from KEK in Japan to Europe
and the Americas, gathering experts in the respective fields for discussions with Belle II members.
One of the goals for B2TiP was to propose so-called “golden and silver channels”: we asked
each working group to choose, among numerous possible measurements, those that would have
the highest potential impact and to focus on them for the writeup. Theorists scrutinized the role of
those measurements in terms of understanding the theory behind them, and estimated the theoretical
uncertainties now achievable as well as prospects for the future. For flavor physics, having tight
control of hadronic uncertainties is one of the most crucial aspects in the field, and this is considered
an important criterion in determining the golden or silver channels. Experimentalists, on the other
hand, investigated the expected improvements with data from Belle II. For the channels where the
errors are dominated by statistical uncertainties, or where systematic errors are reducible, the errors
can decrease rapidly as more data becomes available. The impact of the upgraded performance from
Belle II is a crucial element in reducing the uncertainties: we therefore include the latest available
studies of the detector efficiency using Monte Carlo simulated events.We list the golden and silver
channel table in the introductory chapter, as a guide for the chapters that follow.
This book is not a collection of reports based on talks given at the workshops. The working group
conveners endeavored to construct a coherent document that can be used by Belle II collaborators, and
others in the field of flavor physics, as a reference. Two books of a similar type have been produced
in the past: The BaBar Book [1] and The Physics of the B Factories [2]. In order to avoid too much
repetition with respect to those references, we refer to them wherever possible for introductory
material.
We would like to thank the section editors and contributing authors for the many stimulating
discussions and their tremendous efforts in bringing the book together.
