Physics Colloquium, January 15, 2002Flavor DelicaciesMatthias NeubertCornell UniversityLast year's discovery of CP violation in the B-meson system is a milestone in the study of the properties of the fundamental constituents of matter (quarks and leptons) and the nature of their interactions. The goal of flavor in physics is to understand the weak interactions of quarks, which in the standard theory are governed by the entries of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa mixing matrix. Recent theoretical developments allow us to extract the magnitudes and phases of these couplings with unprecedented precision. This enables tests of the Standard Model and searches for new particles and symmetries. 3.30 p.m., Smith Laboratory, Room 1005Refreshments served in Smith 1094 at 3:00 p.m. |
