Dr Cristina Lazzeroni (University of Birmingham (UK))The NA62 experiment aims to collect of the order of 100 K+ to pi+ nu nubar decays with a 10% level of background. Studies using Monte Carlo simulation of the apparatus and data from test beam runs were performed to assess the expected sensitivity of the apparatus. The results about signal acceptance and background rejection will be presented.Go to contribution page

Giorgio Torrieri (JW Goethe Universitat, Frankfurt)I will give an overview of the current status of heavy ion physics, focusing on the low viscosity and high heavy quark opacity observed at RHIC. I will argue that these findings are generally incompatible with pQCD calculations, and examine the way in which methods based on gauge-string duality (AdS/CFT) can be quantitatively constrained by a joint analysis of hadronic flow and heavy quark...Go to contribution page

Dr Toshio Numao (TRIUMF)The branching ratio of pion decays, R=B(pi-->e nu)/B(pi-->mu nu), has provided the best test of electron-muon universality in weak interactions. While the Standard Model prediction is R=(1.2353+-0.0001)x10^-4, the existing experimental results, R=(1.2265+-0.0056)x10^-4 (TRIUMF) and R=(1.2346+-0.0050)x10^-4 (PSI), are still two orders of magnitude less precise. Since this branching ratio is...Go to contribution page

Dr Paride Paradisi (TUM)The origin of flavour and the understanding of the hierarchies in quark and lepton masses and mixings are among the most important open issues in particle physics. In this talk, we discuss a range of topics: from theories that can (partially) explain the origin of flavor to more specific issues related to the precise determination of elements of the CKM matrix including the...Go to contribution page
