Abstract: Precise determinations of Vcb from B factories are crucial for testing the unitarity of the CKM matrix and obtaining accurate predictions of decay processes with flavour changing neutral current. Inclusive semileptonic B decays offer one of the main avenues for such extraction of Vcb. In this talk I will present some recent developments in the theoretical prediction of this class of decays, in particular the calculation performed in perturbative QCD of the third order correction to the partial…

Abstract: Conventional hadronic matter consists of baryons and mesons which are made up of three quarks and quark-antiquark pairs, respectively. Hints for exotic hadrons continue to appear since the discovery of the unusual properties of X(3872) in 2003, as well as charged charmonium-like states in 2013, and some pentaquark states in 2015. In the talk, I will discuss a new landmark discovery, namely the observation of a genuinely new class of hadrons, a doubly charmed tetraquark. This state is interpreted…

Abstract: Presenter: Heerak Banerjee,  ODSL/TUM Title: Looking Beyond the Standard Model with Coherent Elastic Neutrino Nucleus Scattering: A Likelihood Based Approach Abstract: Coherent Elastic Neutrino-Nucleus Scattering (CE$\nu$NS) occurs when neutrinos scatter off nuclei with a momentum transfer less than inverse the nuclear radius. The COHERENT experiment observed it for the first time in 2018, 43 years after their prediction. The total number of events observed agree with the Standard Model (SM)…

Abstract: Welcome to the INDICO page of the ORIGINS PhDs CERN trip As we want to use the rare opportunity of ATLAS being opened we plan a CERN visit with ATLAS tour in mid November.  The whole journey will be funded by the ORIGINS Excellence Cluster. If you want to join our trip, please register as soon as possible, latest until 11th of October.

Abstract: We are excited to greet you at Kloster Irsee at the Annual Science Meeting of the ORIGINS Excellence Cluster. The agenda includes invited talks, overview and highlight talks from our research units, connectors and infrastructures as well as a Seed Money sessions with short talks. Our General Assembly will take place on Wednesday afternoon. Everyone is encouraged to attend in-person. The talks will be live-streamed.  Please register and submit your talk abstract by Oct 29th. 

Abstract: The aim of the workshop is to foster interpreting the experimental data on hadron resonances recently published by the COMPASS and LHCb collaborations by bringing together researchers across the world working in the field of hadron spectroscopy. Particularly, precision measurements on the three-pion interaction were published by the COMPASS collaboration this summer. Its interpretation calls for a dispersive approach addressing the final-state interaction. Complimentary, precision studies of the…
