  2. B Meson Flavor Oscillations Neutral B mesons can spontaneously transform in the corresponding antiparticle Mixing involves CKM elements, measuring mq constraints the unitarity triangle New exotic particles may run in the loop  mixing sensitive to NP Form factors and B-parameters from Lattice calculations are known at ~15% level

  3. ms and the side of UT md  f2BBB [(1-r)2+h2] circle centered in (r,h)=(1,0) f2BBB known at 15% from LQCD • many theoretical uncertainties cancel in the ratio • |Vts|/|Vtd| can be determined at ~4% (hep-lat/0510113) Experimental challenge: |Vts| >> |Vtd|  ms >> md  needs to resolve > 2.3 THz oscillations Previous Dms measurements: LEP/SLD/CDF-I: ms > 14.4 ps-1 @ 95% CL HFAG Average for PDG 2006
