B Physics Beyond the Standard Model

Abstract

The ability of present and future experiments to test the Standard Model in the BB meson sector is described. We examine the loop effects of new interactions in flavor changing neutral current BB decays and in ZbbˉZ\to b\bar b, concentrating on supersymmetry and the left-right symmetric model as specific examples of new physics scenarios. The procedure for performing a global fit to the Wilson coefficients which describe bsb\to s transitions is outlined, and the results of such a fit from Monte Carlo generated data is compared to the predictions of our two sample new physics scenarios. A fit to the ZbbˉZb\bar b couplings from present data is also given.
