Prof. Masanori Yamauchi: Challenging new physics at a Super B Factory

Ob 16h vse udeležence vabimo na čaj. Prof. Masanori Yamauchi, KEK, Tsukuba Challenging new physics at a Super B Factory In particle physics, a theory called Standard Model has been established in the last two decades, which successfully describes almost all known experimental results up to O(100) GeV energy scale. However, it is widely believed that the Standard Model is only an approximation of an unrevealed theory that governs physics at O(1000) GeV energy scale, and purposes of the modern high energy physics experiments are to search for and elucidate the new physics. Among several possible approaches, flavor physics challenges the new physics through high precision measurements of decays of B mesons, D mesons, and tau leptons, which provide complementary informations to the experiments at high energies such as the ones at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). In this seminar, I will describe the upgrade program of the B factory at KEK, which is proposed in this context.
