Dr Roberto Mussa (INFN TORINO)25/08/2014, 10:00Heavy Quarks & LeptonsAfter a dozen of very lively years, the spectra of heavy quarkonia below thresholds are almost complete; the last system to be explored is the Bc meson. Since few years, most discoveries happened close to open flavor thesholds, and four quark systems have attracted interest as the new spectroscopy frontier. This review will cover the unresolved questions on conventional quarkonia, the links...Go to contribution page

Dr Elisabetta Prencipe (IKP - Forschungszentrum Juelich)25/08/2014, 11:10Heavy Quarks & LeptonsOne of the most intriguing puzzles in hadron spectroscopy are the numerous charmonium-like states observed in the last decade, including charged states that are manifestly exotic. Over the years BaBar has extensively studied these states in B meson decays, initial state radiation processes and two photon reactions. We report new and additional studies on some of these states performed...Go to contribution page

Peter Weidenkaff (Mainz University)25/08/2014, 12:10Heavy Quarks & LeptonsWe perform an analysis of the D+ -> Ks pi+ pi0 Dalitz plot.

Sascha Turczyk (University of Mainz)25/08/2014, 14:00Heavy Quarks & LeptonsAn interesting possibility to ease the tension between various determinations of |Vub| allows a small right-handed contribution to the Standard Model weak current. The current bounds on such a contribution are fairly weak. We propose new ways to search for such a beyond Standard Model contribution in the semileptonic B -> ρ l ν decay. We suggest to use generalized asymmetries in one, two, or...Go to contribution page

Jochen Dingfelder (University of Bonn)25/08/2014, 14:35Heavy Quarks & LeptonsSemileptonic B meson decays, B ➞ X l ν, are currently the preferred modes for determining the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix elements |Vcb| and |Vub|, two fundamental parameters of the Standard Model. At the same time they can also be used to test and refine the theoretical tools used for describing B mesons and their decays.

Jeremy Dalseno (University of Bristol)26/08/2014, 11:00Heavy Quarks & LeptonsCharmless b-hadron decays are suppressed in the Standard Model by tiny CKM matrix elements which brings the tree amplitudes to levels comparable with loop amplitudes, and potentially New Physics amplitudes.
