Description

The aim of this workshop is to review recent progress in semileptonic B decays, both on the theory and the experimental front, and to form a consensus on how to extract the CKM matrix elements Vcb and Vub from inclusive and exclusive decays. Another topic of the workshop is the test of lepton flavour universality in semileptonic B decays in particular in the third generation.

This workshop follows previous workshops held at MITP (2015 and 2018) and in Barolo (2022). The venue of this edition is Campus Akademie, located in the center of Vienna, Austria.

The workshop is scheduled from Monday September 23 to Friday September 27. We plan to start on Monday at 13:30 and finish on Friday at 12:00. A welcome reception is foreseen for Monday evening. The conference dinner is planned for Wednesday.
