On the Physics Case of a Super Flavor Factory

Description

We summarize the physics case of a high-luminosity e+e- flavor factory collecting an integrated luminosity of 50 - 75 ab-1. Many New Physics sensitive measurements involving B and D mesons and τ leptons, unique to a Super Flavor Factory, can be performed with excellent sensitivity to new particles with masses up to ∼ 100 (or even ∼ 1000) TeV. Flavor- and CP-violating couplings of new particles that may be discovered at the LHC can be measured in most scenarios, even in unfavorable cases assuming minimal flavor violation. Together with the LHC, a Super Flavor Factory, following either the SuperKEKB or the SuperB proposal, could be soon starting the project of reconstructing the New Physics Lagrangian
