The Semileptonic B Frontier: LHC, B-factories, Lattice QCD & the Hunt for Precision
Aula Salvini
Aula Salvini, Building 36, Laboratori Nazionali di Frascati (Rome), Italy
The aim of the workshop is to bring together theorists and experimentalists working on various aspects of semileptonic b-hadron decays for both charged and neutral flavour changing current processes. Topics will include recent developments, open questions, and future directions, including novel lattice approaches for inclusive B decays, CKM determinations, hadronic form factors, and potential signals of New Physics.
Participants will review the latest B-physics experimental results and the theoretical inputs, will discuss new observables and tools to enhance the future analyses. The aim of the workshop is to foster the collaboration across different communities, to improve the understanding of experimental systematic uncertainties and theoretical calculations in this crucial area of flavor physics.
This activity is part of the Theoretical Phenomenology Visiting Institute @ LNF, running from 16 to 27 February 2026, and supported by CSN4 to promote the participation of early-career scientists.
The local organizers are partially supported by the PRIN 2022 project
