The purpose of this mini-workshop is to bring together theorists and experimentalists working in the extraction of CKM elements, Vcb in particular, to discuss important issues regarding both the collider and low-energy aspects.
The workshop will cover the following topics:
- Vcb extraction at the LHC
- Vcb extraction at the B factories
- Other heavy-flavour CKM elements
Participation is by invitation only. Participants will have to book their own accommodation. We have made reservations at nearby hotels. Please see Accommodation for detailed information.
