HQL 2016

May 22, 2016, 5:00 PM → May 27, 2016, 6:25 PM US/Eastern

Alumni Assembly Hall (Inn at Virginia Tech)

Jonathan Link (VirginiaTech), Leo Piilonen (Virginia Tech)

The XIIIth International Conference on Heavy Quarks and Leptons is dedicated to the study of the heavy quarks - charm, bottom, and top - with obvious extensions to interesting topics involving the strange quark. Neutrino oscillation studies and new insights in mu and tau lepton phenomenology are also included. The conference continues the tradition of regular scientific meetings that started in 1993 at the Laboratori Nazionali di Frascati under the name "Heavy Quarks at Fixed Target" and broadened in 2002 to include leptons, with the workshop retitled to its present-day name.

Topics
 
  Rare decays
  CP violation
  CKM matrix and form factors
  Spectroscopy
  Top quark physics
  Kaon Physics
  Lepton flavor violation
  Neutrinos
  New experiments/facilities
