Discussion for PPAP Community Review meeting on Flavour-changing physics + QCD, July 13

PPAP has arranged three one-day community review meetings to help provide input to the STFC roadmap. Further details can be found on the PPAP web pages.

The first of these meetings, to be held on July 13 in Birmingham, is on flavour-changing physics + QCD. The agenda, together with the membership of the Programme Committee, can be found on the INDICO page.

This forum is intended for discussion prior to this meeting. In particular, the Programme Committee would appreciate comments in response to the questions outlined below. Responses should preferably be made by posting a comment below (please register so that comments can be appropriately attributed). Alternatively, confidential comments can be sent by email to the Programme Committee chair and deputy chair (please do this only if there is a need for comments to be kept confidential).

Please note that these questions are intended to provoke discussion and do not necessarily reflect the views of PPAP or the Programme Committee :

1. How important will measurements of flavour-changing observables be in the post ~2014 landscape?

2. What are the connections between flavour-changing physics and (i) physics at the energy frontier and (ii) neutrino and non-accelerator physics?

3. What developments are needed from theory (including lattice QCD and phenomenology) to support and/or lead the UK experimental effort in this sector?

4. Should the UK focus its effort in flavour-changing physics on a few key observables, or aim for wider coverage?

5. How many experiments, in the flavour-changing physics sector, should the UK aim to participate in?

6. What factors should be used to determine the prioritisation of projects?

7. Are there areas of commonality between experiments (whether in the flavour-changing physics sector or otherwise) that can be exploited?

8. In which areas relating to flavour changing physics is the UK internationally leading?

9. Does the UK have the technological base to contribute to future flavour facilities?

  1. Nice article, i highly appreciate the effort of the writer, keep on posting great articles. The purpose of the PPAP procedure is to document that development and validation of the part and the production process.
