Flavour in the era of the LHC
The 4th meeting of the 'Flavour in the era of the LHC' workshop will take place at CERN on 9-11 October, 2006. The goal of this workshop is to outline and document a programme for flavour physics for the next decade, addressing in particular the complementarity and synergy between the discoveries we expect to emerge from the LHC and the potential for accurate measurements of future flavour factories.
Over 150 physicists will join in the discussions of the three working groups dedicated to 'Flavour physics at high Q', 'B/D/K decays' and 'Flavour in the lepton sector, EDM's, g-2, etc'. The previous meetings took place in November 2005, and in February and May this year.
In addition to the working group sessions, a special miniworkshop dedicated to future prospects for electric dipole moment (EDM) searches and g-2 measurements will be held on 9-10 October. Sensitive EDM and g-2 experiments probe physics in an integral way, and in many cases their physics reach is much higher than the spectrometer searches at the highest energy colliders, making them complementary tools in the exploration of new phenomena. World-leading experts will present all the major advances, innovations and future goals of these exciting fields, including proposals for new experiments to be carried out at CERN.
The meeting will start on Monday morning with a talk by the pioneer of these measurements, and 1989 Nobel laureate, Professor Norman Ramsey, with the title 'The History of Neutron EDM'. Professor Ramsey will then conclude this meeting of the workshop with a colloquium on Wednesday afternoon: 'Contributions of Magnetic Resonance to Other Sciences'.
The full agenda of the meeting, as well as the agenda and material from the previous sessions, are available through the web page of the workshop:
The final meeting of the series, which will lead to a comprehensive written report, is scheduled for 26-29 March 2007.
