B Physics Beyond the Standard Model
Abstract
The ability of present and future experiments to test the Standard Model in the B meson sector is described. We examine the loop effects of new interactions in flavor changing neutral current B decays and in Z b 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 b 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 Zb b couplings from present data is also given.
