Prof. Ulrich Nierste (TTP, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology)16/03/2011 08:30TheoryOrdinaryThe 2010 data on quark flavour physics reveal a considerable tension with the Standard Model. However, an excellent fit is found if one permits new physics in the amplitudes describing meson-antimeson mixing in the B_d and B_s systems. The corresponding global analysis disfavours the Standard Model at the level of 3.6 standard deviations and calls for new sources of CP violation in the...Go to contribution page

Dr Jernej Kamenik ("Jozef Stefan" Institute)16/03/2011 09:15ExperimentOrdinaryPolarisation observables in top quark decays are sensitive probes of possible new physics contributions to the interactions of the heavy third generation quarks. Within an effective theory approach such new physics contributions can be classified in terms of several higher dimensional operators. We investigate the interplay between indirect constraints on such operators, coming mainly from...Go to contribution page

Susanne Westhoff (Mainz University)16/03/2011 09:55TheoryOrdinaryI discuss the anomalously large asymmetry in top-antitop-quark production within Randall-Sundrum models. Kaluza-Klein gluons generically have the potential to generate a large forward-backward asymmetry at tree level. In models with an anarchic flavour structure, however, their coupling to the light quarks inside the proton is strongly suppressed. I show that even though this suppression is...Go to contribution page

Dr John Walsh (INFN, Pisa)16/03/2011 10:55ExperimentOrdinaryWe present recent results on rare B and D decays from the Babar experiment. The focus will be on measurements that are sensitive to the presence of New Physics. Several flavour-changing-neutral-current channels have been investigated: we present results on the CP asymmetry in b -> s gamma, searches for B -> K nu nubar, B -> K tau tau and B0/D0 -> gamma gamma, as well as the branching fraction...Go to contribution page

Prof. Roger JONES (Lancaster University)16/03/2011 11:25ExperimentOrdinaryThe QCD production of Quarkonia and high-PT B-hadrons are important processes as a probe of perturbative QCD. High-PT B-hadrons also form a significant background to many new physics channels at the LHC. The inclusive production of the J/psi and Upsilon mesons is studied in the dimuon decay mode. The double- differential cross section is measured with respect to the transverse momentum and...Go to contribution page
