Description

In this workshop we will cover theoretical and experimental aspects of lifetimes of heavy hadrons. Theory aspects include perturbative contributions to the free-quark decay, to 2-quark contributions (i.e. kinetic operator, chromomagnetic operator, Darwin operator,...) and to 4-quark contributions as well as  non-perturbative contributions. The latter ones can be determined by lattice QCD studies, sum rule calculations and fits of inclusive semilpetonic decays.  Experimental aspects include the state of the art measurements from ATLAS, Belle II, BES III, CMSand LHCb as well as an outlook for future prospects.

Siegen is located centrally in Germany, around 125 km northwest of Frankfurt and 90 km east of Cologne and can be reached well via train or car. Nearby international airports are in Frankfurt, Cologne and Düsseldorf.
