Prof. Abner Soffer (Tel Aviv University)2019-05-07, 4:15 p.m.Rare Decays of Hadrons and LeptonsContributed OralDecay modes with two oppositely charged leptons of different flavor correspond to lepton flavor violating (LFV) decays and are essentially forbidden in the Standard Model (SM) because they can occur only through lepton mixing. Decay modes with two leptons of the same charge are lepton-number violating (LNV) decays and are forbidden in the SM. Hence, decays of the form $D^0 \to hh'll’$ provide...Go to contribution page

33. Implications for New Physics in b->smumu transitions after recent measurements by Belle and LHCbDr Dinesh Kumar (National Centre for Nuclear Research, Warsaw)2019-05-07, 4:30 p.m.Rare Decays of Hadrons and LeptonsContributed OralWe present a Bayesian analysis of the implications for new physics in semileptonic b → s transitions after including new measurements of RK at LHCb and new determinations of RK∗ and RK∗+ at Belle. We perform global fits with 2, 4, and 8 input Wilson coefficients, plus one CKM nuisance parameter to take into account uncertainties that are not factorizable. We infer the 68% and 95.4% credibility...Go to contribution page

Dr Jacky Kumar (University of Montreal, Montreal)2019-05-07, 4:45 p.m.Rare Decays of Hadrons and LeptonsContributed OralThere are four models of tree-level new physics (NP) that can potentially simultaneously explain the $b \to s \mu^+\mu^-$ and $b \to c \ell^- {\bar\nu}$ anomalies. They are the S3, U3, and U1 leptoquarks, and a triplet of standard-model-like vector bosons (VBs). In this talk, I describe an analysis of these models with general couplings. We find that, even in this most general case,...Go to contribution page

David Rodriguez Perez (Sinaloa University)2019-05-07, 5:00 p.m.Rare Decays of Hadrons and LeptonsContributed OralThe Belle II experiment is a substantial upgrade of the Belle detector and will operate at the SuperKEKB energy-asymmetric $e^+ e^-$ collider. The design luminosity of the machine is $8\times 10^{35}$ cm$^{-2}$s$^{-1}$ and the Belle II experiment aims to record 50 ab$^{-1}$ of data, a factor of 50 more than its predecessor. From February to July 2018, the machine has completed a commissioning...Go to contribution page

Dr Marcus Ebert (University of Victoria)2019-05-07, 5:15 p.m.Rare Decays of Hadrons and LeptonsContributed OralA program of measuring the light hadrons production in exclusive $e^+e^- \to$ hadrons processes is in place at BABAR with the aim to improve the calculation of the hadronic contribution to the muon $g-2$. We present the most recent results obtained by using the full data set of about 470 fb${^-1}$ collected by the BABAR experiment at the PEP-II $e^+e^-$ collider at a center-of-mass energy of...Go to contribution page

Niharika Rout (IIT - Madras)2019-05-07, 5:30 p.m.Heavy Quark Decays and CKM MetrologyContributed OralThe CKM angle $\gamma$ is the least well known of the angles of the unitarity triangle and the only one that is accessible with tree-level decays in a theoretically clean way. The Belle II experiment is a substantial upgrade of the Belle detector and will operate at the SuperKEKB energy-asymmetric $e^+ e^-$ collider. The accelerator has already successfully completed the first phase of...Go to contribution page

Prof. David London (Universite de Montreal)2019-05-08, 1:55 p.m.CP Violation in Hadrons and LeptonsContributed OralAt present, there are discrepancies with the predictions of the SM in ${\bar B} \to D^{(*)} \ell^- {\bar\nu}$ decays, suggesting the presence of new physics (NP) in $b \to c \tau^- {\bar\nu}$. Various NP models have been proposed to explain the data. In this talk, I discuss how the measurement of CP-violating observables in ${\bar B} \to D^* \ell^- {\bar\nu}$ can be used to differentiate the...Go to contribution page

Tommaso Pajero (Pisa)2019-05-08, 2:10 p.m.CP Violation in Hadrons and LeptonsContributed OralThe copious number of D0 decays collected by the LHCb experiment during 2011-2018 enables tests for CP violation in charm decays and measurements of the D0 mixing parameters with unprecedented precision. To take maximum advantage of these statistics, control of systematic uncertainties is becoming more and more important, and will be even more so after the planned upgrades of the LHCb...Go to contribution page

Emmy Gabriel (Edinburgh)2019-05-08, 2:25 p.m.CP Violation in Hadrons and LeptonsContributed OralTime-dependent CP-violation measurements of beauty mesons allow the determination of the mixing-induced CP-violating phases phi_s and beta. The measurement of the phase phi_s in the Bs-Bsbar system is one of the key goals of the LHCb experiment due to the sensitivity to physics beyond the Standard Model (BSM). The CP-violating phase is of interest in penguin dominated b->s transitions, in...Go to contribution page

Prof. Ikaros Bigi (Physics Department, University of Notre Dame)2019-05-08, 2:40 p.m.CP Violation in Hadrons and LeptonsContributed OralCP violations have been established in beauty mesons basically in two-body states, but so far not for charm mesons. Yet it is crucial to measure CP asymmetries in many-body final states -- including for beauty & charm baryons! Non-perturbative QCD gives large impact. [Of course, these results do not help us to understand the matter vs. anti-matter in our Universe.]Go to contribution page

Dr Suzanne Klaver (INFN e Laboratori Nazionali di Frascati (IT))2019-05-08, 2:55 p.m.CP Violation in Hadrons and LeptonsContributed OralA recent paper (Phys. Rev. Lett. 120, 261804) presented a new evaluation of radiative corrections in the decay channels involved in the ratios $\mathcal{R}(D^+)$ and $\mathcal{R}(D^0)$, which could explain part of the discrepancy between measurements and SM predictions. Using simulated events we quantify the difference between the results in this paper and Photos, which is used to simulate...Go to contribution page

We compute meson-hybrid cross correlators within the operator product expansion, taking into account condensate contributions up to and including those of dimension-six as well as composite operator renormalization-induced diagrams. Using measured...Go to contribution page
