Toward the second stage at B factory
The measurement and precision at B physics experiment are reviewed by taking
into account of the numbers of B mesons to be produced in the future
experimental projects. With $10^9$ or more B mesons we will be able to fix the
parameters in Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix elements or find a signal of new
physics.

Leading-power contributions to $B\toπ,ρ$ transition form factors
We calculate the $B\to\pi,\rho$ transition form factors in the framework of
perturbative QCD to leading power of $1/M_B$, $M_B$ being the $B$ meson mass.
We explain the basic principle by discussing the pion electromagnetic form
factor. It is shown that the logarithmic and linear singularities occurring at
small momentum fractions of light meson distribution amplitudes do not exist in
a self-consistent perturbative analysis, which includes $k_\perp$ and threshold
resummations.

Updates of $W_R$ effects on CP angles determination in B decays
The recently observed CP violation in B decay and $B$-$\ovar{B}$ mixing data
put constraints on the mass of $W_R$ and the parameters of the right-handed
current quark mixing matrix $V^R$ in $SU(2)_L \times SU(2)_R\times U(1)$ gauge
model. It is shown that the allowed region of parameters are severely
restricted for light $W_R$ with mass on the order of 1 TeV. There exist sets of
parameters which can accommodate large CP violation as measured by Belle,
$\sin2\phi_1|_{exp}\simeq 1$, for $M_{W_R}=1 \sim 10$ TeV.

$|V_{ub}|$ determination by $B \to D_s π$
We investigate $\ovar{B^0} \to D_s^- \pi^+$ decay in perturbative QCD
approach which has recently been applied to $B$ meson decays. $\ovar{B^0} \to
D_s^- \pi^+$ decay (and its charge conjugated mode) can be one of the hopeful
modes to determine $|V_{ub}|$ since it occurs through $b \to u$ transition
only. We estimate both factorizable and non-factorizable contribution, and show
that the non-factorizable contribution is much less than the factorizable one.
Our calculation gives ${BR}(\ovar{B^0} \to D_s^- \pi^+) = (50 \sim 70) \times
f_{Ds}^2|{V_{ub}}{V_{cs}}|^2$.

Dual baseline search for muon neutrino disappearance at 0.5 eV^2 < Δm^2 < 40 eV^2
The SciBooNE and MiniBooNE collaborations report the results of a \nu_\mu
disappearance search in the \Delta m^2 region of 0.5-40 eV^2. The neutrino rate
as measured by the SciBooNE tracking detectors is used to constrain the rate at
the MiniBooNE Cherenkov detector in the first joint analysis of data from both
collaborations. Two separate analyses of the combined data samples set 90%
confidence level (CL) limits on \nu_\mu disappearance in the 0.5-40 eV^2 \Delta
m^2 region, with an improvement over previous experimental constraints between
10 and 30 eV^2.

Measurement of K+ production cross section by 8 GeV protons using high energy neutrino interactions in the SciBooNE detector
The SciBooNE Collaboration reports K+ production cross section and rate
measurements using high energy daughter muon neutrino scattering data off the
SciBar polystyrene (C8H8) target in the SciBooNE detector. The K+ mesons are
produced by 8 GeV protons striking a beryllium target in Fermilab Booster
Neutrino Beam line (BNB). Using observed neutrino and antineutrino events in
SciBooNE, we measure d2{\sigma}/dpd{\Omega} = (5.34 \times 0.76) mb/(GeV/c
\times sr) for p + Be -> K+ + X at mean K+ energy of 3.9 GeV and angle (with
respect to the proton beam direction) of 3.7 degrees, corresponding to the
selected K+ sample. Compared to Monte Carlo predictions using previous higher
energy K+ production measurements, this measurement, which uses the NUANCE
neutrino interaction generator, is consistent with a normalization factor of
0.85\times0.12. This agreement is evidence that the extrapolation of the higher
energy K+ measurements to an 8 GeV beam energy using Feynman scaling is valid.
This measurement reduces the error on the K+ production cross section from 40%
to 14%.

Dual baseline search for muon antineutrino disappearance at 0.1 eV^2 < Δm^2 < 100 eV^2
The MiniBooNE and SciBooNE collaborations report the results of a joint
search for short baseline disappearance of \bar{{\nu}_{\mu}} at Fermilab's
Booster Neutrino Beamline. The MiniBooNE Cherenkov detector and the SciBooNE
tracking detector observe antineutrinos from the same beam, therefore the
combined analysis of their datasets serves to partially constrain some of the
flux and cross section uncertainties. Uncertainties in the {\nu}_{\mu}
background were constrained by neutrino flux and cross section measurements
performed in both detectors. A likelihood ratio method was used to set a 90%
confidence level upper limit on \bar{{\nu}_{\mu}} disappearance that
dramatically improves upon prior limits in the {\Delta}m^2=0.1-100 eV^2 region.

Measurement of inclusive charged current interactions on carbon in a few-GeV neutrino beam
The SciBooNE Collaboration reports a measurement of inclusive charged current
interactions of muon neutrinos on carbon with an average energy of 0.8 GeV
using the Fermilab Booster Neutrino Beam. We compare our measurement with two
neutrino interaction simulations: NEUT and NUANCE. The charged current
interaction rates (product of flux and cross section) are extracted by fitting
the muon kinematics, with a precision of 6-15% for the energy dependent and 3%
for the energy integrated analyses. We also extract CC inclusive interaction
cross sections from the observed rates, with a precision of 10-30% for the
energy dependent and 8% for the energy integrated analyses. This is the first
measurement of the CC inclusive cross section on carbon around 1 GeV. These
results can be used to convert previous SciBooNE cross section ratio
measurements to absolute cross section values.

$W_R$ effects on $CP$ angles determination at a $B$ factory
The right-handed charged current gauge boson $W_R$ can affect significantly
on the determination of the $CP$ violation angles to be measured at $B$
factories if the right-handed current quark mixing matrix $V^R$ is taken to a
specific form to satisfy the bounds by neutral $K$ meson systems. The $W_R$
contribution can be sizable in $B^0$-$\overline{B^0}$ mixing and tree level $b$
quark decay. The deviation of $CP$ angles in unitarity triangle from the
standard model values can be as large as $-37^\circ$ or $ +22^\circ$ for
$\phi_3$ ($\gamma$), and $66^\circ \sim 115^\circ$ for $\phi_1$ ($\beta$) and
$\phi_2$ ($\alpha$).

New Physics and CP Angles Measurement at B Factory
We have analyzed how much the $CP$ angles to be measured at B factories can
deviate from the geometrical ones defined in unitarity triangle under the
existence of new physics. The measurements are given in rephasing invariant
form. If KM matrix is not a $3\times 3$ and unitary matrix, $\tilde\phi_1$ and
$\tilde\phi_3$ is affected, and the value of $\tilde\phi_3$ depends on the
decay mode. The deviation is constrained to be less than the experimental
precision attained in the next decade by the available data of the magnitude of
KM matrix elements. Deviation of the sum of three angles from $\pi$ cannot be
detected unless new physics contributes significantly to $b$ decay or $D$ meson
system.
