Flavour as a Window to New Physics at the LHC

chaired by Robert Fleischer (CERN), Thomas Mannel (University of Siegen), Yosef Nir (Weizmann Institute of Science)
from to (Europe/Zurich)
at CERN ( 4-3-006 - TH Theory Conference Room )
Description
The aim of this CERN Theory Institute is to discuss the various 
theoretical aspects of the flavour-physics programme at the LHC, 
to set the stage for the interpretation of the first LHC data, and to 
address general questions concerning new physics in the flavour sector.
