21. Delta F = 1 Constraints on Minimal Flavour Violation

Dr Jernej Kamenik ("Jozef Stefan" Institute and INFN LNF)

04/03/2008 18:00

We present an updated phenomenological analysis of MFV models, both at small and large tan beta, in the sector of Delta F=1 processes. We evaluate the bounds on the scale of new physics derived from recent measurements (in particular from B to Xs gamma, B to Xs ll and B to mu mu) and we use such bounds to derive a series of model-independent predictions for future experimental searches in...

50. Charm and tau decays

M. Anze Zupanc (Jozef Stefan Institute)

04/03/2008 18:20

We discuss recent results on charm and tau physics obtained by the Belle and BaBar collaborations. In the charm section we present measurements of D0-D0bar mixing parameters, measurements searching for CP violation in D0 decays and a measurement of D_s meson decay constant. In the tau section the recent results on Lepton Flavor Violation in tau decays to three leptons or a lepton and a vector...

85. Implications of D0-anti D0 Mixing for New Physics

86. The CKM angle gamma (review B factories )

2. Flavour Permutation Symmetric Description of Quark and Lepton Mixings

Prof. Paul Harrison (University of Warwick)

04/03/2008 19:25

We review the recently proposed flavour-permutation-symmetric mixing observables and discuss their application to quark and lepton mixing matrices, with particular reference to tri-bimaximal mixing and its viable generalisations. We present an alternative formulation of the same idea which admits a new geometrical representation of mixing.
