Sixth Meeting on B Physics

19 Mar 2009, 09:00 → 20 Mar 2009, 17:00 Europe/Rome

Aula 1 (IUSS - Ferrara 1391)

The Sixth Meeting on B Physics will take place in Ferrara on March 19-20th, 2009, at the "Istituto Universitario di Studi Superiori - IUSS 1391" in the historical center of the town. The meeting is jointly organized with the Flavianet network. For the first time, the meeting will involve both the Italian and French B Physics communities. Following the format of previous ones, this workshop will be devoted to specific topics. B_s physics and the determination of V_ub will be the subject of theory and experimental talks on thursday. The current CKM status and reach of future facilities will be presented and discussed in a round table on friday morning.
