Particle Physics Seminar

Date: Wednesday 7th December 2005

Title: Recent Results from B Factories: Search for New Physics

Speaker: Dr Chris Hawkes (Birmingham)

Abstract

I will present recent results from the B-Factory experiments, BaBar at SLAC and Belle at KEK, concentrating on those that are sensitive to possible new physics beyond the Standard Model. I will discuss measurements and comparisons of sin(2beta) from different B decay channels, rare radiative and leptonic B decays, and searches for lepton-flavour violation in tau decays.

This Particle Physics Seminar will take place in the Physics Library (room 125), Physics West, at 1315. Tea, coffee and biscuits will be served at 1300. Note unusual room !
