“…Such a measurement would definitely not be in conflict with the recent measurements of CP violation in the B d system, which confirms the standard-model predictions at the 10% level (Abe et al, 2002b;Aubert et al, 2002b). But in the long run, after new physics has already been discovered, inclusive rare B decays will also play an important role in analyzing in greater detail the underlying new dynamics.…”

“…Moreover, Glashow-Iliopoulos-Maiani suppression is not active in loop diagrams involving the top quarks, which leads to experimentally accessible rare decays and to large CP-violating effects within B physics. Thus the CP violation in the B system represents an important independent test of the standard-model description of CP violation (see Abe et al, 2002b;Aubert et al, 2002b). B-meson decays also allow for a rich Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) phenomenology as well as stringent tests of the unitarity of the CKM matrix.…”

Most inclusive rare B decays are important modes of flavor physics due to the small hadronic uncertainties. In this article, the author gives a status report on such decays, highlighting recent developments and open problems. The focus is on the decay modes B→X s,d ␥, B→X s ᐉ ϩ ᐉ Ϫ , and B→X s and on their role as laboratories in the search for new physics. The experimental data already available from CLEO and the B factories BABAR and BELLE are collected and discussed. The article then reviews the next-to-leading-log (NLL) and next-to-next-to-leading log (NNLL) QCD calculations of the inclusive decay rates that were recently completed and discusses future prospects, especially the issue of the charm-mass-scheme ambiguity. The phenomenological impact of these decay modes, in particular, on the CKM phenomenology and on the indirect search for supersymmetry, is analyzed. Direct CP violation in inclusive rare B decays is briefly treated, as are the rare kaon decays K ϩ → ϩ and K L → 0 , which offer complementary, theoretically clean information. CONTENTS

Since the top quark dominates the loop, the CKM factors in both tree and penguin amplitudes carry approximately the same phases, and the time-dependent asymmetry has a simple form:…”

SummaryString compactifications represent the most promising approach towards unifying general relativity with particle physics. However, naive compactifications give rise to massless particles (moduli) which would mediate unobserved longrange forces, and it is therefore necessary to generate a potential for the moduli.In the introductory chapters I review this problem and recall how in IIB compactifications the dilaton and complex structure moduli can be stabilised by 3-form fluxes. There exist very many possible discrete flux choices which motivates the use of statistical techniques to analyse this discretuum of choices. Such approaches generate formulae predicting the distribution of vacua and I describe numerical tests of these formulae on the Calabi-Yau P 4[1,1,2,2,6] . Stabilising the Kähler moduli requires nonperturbative superpotential effects. I review the KKLT construction and explain why this must in general be supplemented with perturbative Kähler corrections. I show how the incorporation of such corrections generically leads to non-supersymmetric minima at exponentially large volumes, giving a detailed account of the α ′ expansion and its relation to Kähler corrections. I illustrate this with explicit computations for the 1,1,6,9] . The next part of the thesis examines phenomenological applications of this construction. I first describe how the magnitude of the soft supersymmetry parameters may be computed. In the large-volume models the gravitino mass and soft terms are volume-suppressed. As we naturally have V ≫ 1, this gives a dynamical solution of the hierarchy problem. I also demonstrate the existence of a fine structure in the soft terms, with gaugino masses naturally lighter than the gravitino mass by a factor ln M P m 3/2 . A second chapter gives a detailed analysis of the relationship of moduli stabilisation to the QCD axions relevant to the strong CP problem, proving a no-go theorem on the compatibility of a QCD axion with supersymmetric moduli stabilisation. I describe how QCD axions can coexist with nonsupersymmetric perturbative stabilisation and how the large-volume models naturally contain axions with decay constants that are phenomenologically allowed and satisfy the appealing relationship f 2 a ∼ M P M susy . A further chapter describe how a simple and predictive inflationary model can be built in the context of the above large-volume construction, using the no-scale Kähler potential to avoid the η problem.I finally conclude, summarising the phenomenological scenario and outlining the prospects for future work.
