  • Monday 13 November
    • 10:00 → 12:30
      Open session-1: R(D*) and R(D) : Current and near term

      Goals for the session :
      a) Theory: Current SM predictions for R(D) and R(Dstar) and their uncertainties: Principal areas of improvement and potential external input (theory or experiment) that could have in significant impact.
      b) Experiments: Review of the current ratio measurements, and prospects for new results in the near future. Address dominant systematic uncertainties, both common to all measurements and those specific to final states for signal, backgrounds and normalization. Planned improvements to selection and simulation of signal and backgrounds, and inclusion of other tau and D (and Dstar for Belle) decay modes. Expected reduction in statistical and systematic uncertainties.

      Goals for the session:
      a) Theory : Status of current understanding and potential improvements of the precision of s.l. decay B decays involving D and Dstar and higher mass charm mesons, their masses and spins, and momentum and angular contributions.
      b) Experiments: Status of the current understanding of decay s.l. B decays for D and Dstar and higher mass charm mesons, which feed down to the ground states. Additional measurements of production rates and distributions, masses, spins, meson decays, s.l. BF and FF, suitable control samples to check simulations.

      Goals for the session
      a) Theory: What could we learn from such measurements? Current and future improved predictions of central values and sources of major theoretical uncertainties for other ratios R. What are suitable normalization channels to reduce theoretical uncertainties.
      b) Experiments: Plans for measurements of other ratios. Which are unique to LHCb? What are the best suited normalization channels and control samples. What are expected statistical and dominant systematic uncertainties? What will be the additional information needed to establish signal and principal background contributions?

      Experiments: Current and future methods to distinguish contributions from potential non-SM processes form SM ones, based on differential distributions for specific models or model independent approaches.
