(PPD) W2-4 Flavour Physics & Beyond | La physique des saveurs et au-delà (PPD)
- Thomas Blake (University of Victoria)
Description
Flavour Physics & Beyond (PPD) – This year’s Particle Physics Division symposium will discuss “Flavour Physics and Beyond”. Join us for invited talks covering the landscape of flavour physics in Canada, and discover how we’re searching for hints of physics beyond the Standard Model.

Pions are fantastic tools to look for new physics. The PIENU experiment at TRIUMF (data completion in 2012) has provided, to date, the most precise experimental determination

of $R^{\pi}_{e/\mu}$ , the ratio of pions decaying to positrons relative to muons. While more than an order of magnitude less precise that the Standard Model (SM) calculation, the PIENU result is a precise test of the... -

PIONEER is a next-generation pion decay experiment that will run at the Paul Scherrer Institute in Switzerland. The initial goal of PIONEER is to improve the precision of the pion branching ratio measurement $R_{e/\mu} = \frac{\Gamma \left(\pi^{+}\rightarrow e^{+} \nu_{e} (\gamma)\right)}{\Gamma \left(\pi^{+} \rightarrow \mu^{+} \nu_{\mu} (\gamma) \right)}$, a stringent, direct test of lepton...

The Chiral Belle upgrade aims to introduce polarized electron beams to the SuperKEKB e+e− collider to enable a vast set of unique precision measurements using the Belle II detector. This includes the ability for Belle II to perform multiple high precision measurements of $\sin^2 \theta_W$ with left-right asymmetry measurements of pairs of electrons, muons, taus, charm and b-quarks...

The SuperKEKB collider, operating at the $\Upsilon$(4S) resonance energy, delivers e$^+$e$^-$ collisions at the world's highest instantaneous luminosity for the Belle II experiment. A proposed long-term Chiral Belle upgrade aims to introduce a polarized electron beam in the High Energy Ring (HER), enabling a new and unique program of precision physics. This upgrade will facilitate precision...
