Description

Flavour and Dark Matter 2018

Modern flavour experiments can probe theories describing the interaction of dark-matter particles with the visible world. In these experiments dark matter or messenger (mediator) particles could either be produced directly or their virtual effects can be studied in precision measurements.

The workshop is dedicated to study the potential of current and future flavour-physics experiments such as Belle II, LHCb, and mu3e to explore the parameter spaces of dark-sector theories and to discuss new theory ideas. Special emphasis is given to  a fruitful exchange between theorists and experimentalists.
