LHC HF WG mtg on B production

Thursday 4 May 2017, 09:00 → 13:00 Europe/Zurich

4/3-006 - TH Conference Room (CERN)

Adrian Bevan (University of London (GB)), Fabrizio Palla (Universita di Pisa & INFN (IT)), Francesco Dettori (CERN), Kai-Feng Chen (National Taiwan University (TW)), Maria Smizanska (Lancaster University (GB)), Michelangelo Mangano (CERN), Vanya Belyaev (ITEP Institute for Theoretical and Experimental Physics (RU))

The meeting will focus on two topics:

• the status of the determination of production fractions for the various b-hadron states, by the LHC experiments. The ultimate goal is to define the process by which these results can be combined, and can provide input to the HFAG world averages.
• status of and plans for HF production cross section measurements
