Physics topics and mandate
This Topical Group will address experimental and theoretical aspects concerning
- Mixing and CP violation in b decays
- Mixing and CP violation in c decays
- CKM constraints
- Rare b decays
- Rare c decays
- Tests of lepton flavor universality in charged-current decays
- Tests of lepton flavor universality in neutral-current decays
- Searches for processes that are forbidden in the Standard Model
- Determinations of relevant hadronic properties (lifetimes, branching fractions, hadronic matrix elements, scattering phase shifts, …)
The goal is to identify the priorities and challenges and establish a roadmap for the next decades, from ongoing and planned experiments to future colliders/facilities.
