GDR-Intensity lectures: LF(U)V in rare meson decays

13 févr. 2018, 09:00 → 14 févr. 2018, 17:00 Europe/Paris

Amphithéatre Darboux (Institut Henri Poincaré, 11, rue Pierre et Marie Curie, 75005 Paris, http://www.ihp.fr/en/node/439)

LF(U)V in meson decays-II

Diego Guadagnoli, Lucia Grillo

These lectures aim to cover in a hopefully thorough and systematic way what is probably the most alluring puzzle in flavour physics at present.

The theory part will deal with: new physics model building to explain the anomalies in B physics associated to lepton flavour

The experimental part will be an introduction to the measurement of R(D*) and the associated subtleties, including normalization channels, estimation of efficiencies, backgrounds, and a detailed look at the systematic uncertainties.

The GDR-Intensity lectures: from theory to experiment and everything in between.

This series of lectures, organized in the framework of the GDR-InF, is devoted to topics currently of considerable interest in the high-intensity frontier. Two experts, one theorist and one experimentalist, will dissect a given subject entirely on the blackboard, starting from the basics. The lectures are aimed at people in the early stages of their research career, in particular PhD students 
and postdocs, but more senior researchers are more than welcome to attend.
