On the Cover

Recent measurements of the B_s⁰B̅_s⁰ mass difference limit both the strength (horizontal) and phase (vertical) of possible contributions from new physics. Dark green, light green, and yellow correspond to 10%, 68%, and 95% confidence levels. The allowed area for large contributions (right) has become much smaller.
