Joint Workshop on |Vub| and |Vcb| (Vxb 2009)

chaired by David Lopes Pegna (Princeton University)
from to (US/Pacific)
at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory
2575 Sand Hill Road, Menlo Park, CA
Description 
This second workshop initiated by HFAG follows a series of similar workshops that have been been organized by the B Factories over the past decade. These informal meetings have become a valuable venue for the exchange of ideas between the theorists and experimentalists working on semileptonic B decays and related topics.
