Prospects and challenges for semitauonic decays at LHCb

27 Apr 2016, 14:00 → 29 Apr 2016, 13:00 Europe/Zurich

CERN

Brian Hamilton (University of Maryland (US)), Concezio Bozzi (INFN Ferrara), Gregory Max Ciezarek (Nikhef National institute for subatomic physics (NL)), Guy Wormser (LAL Orsay), Patrick Haworth Owen (Imperial College Sci., Tech. & Med. (GB))

This is an informal workshop aiming to discuss experimental and theoretical issues of measuring lepton universality observables involving tau leptons such as R(D*) and R(D0). The workshop is mostly dedicated to technical discussions in internal LHCb sessions. However there is an open session in the afternoon on Thursday 28th, which will be more focussed on the theoretical side.
