Plenary

There is a wealth of experimental results questioning the deep-rooted assumption of lepton universality in flavour-changing interactions. Recently, several anomalies were reported by the LHCb collaboration and there is the long standing discrepancy of the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon. At the same time the large LHC experiments do not see clear signals of New Physics, and there are...

77. Experimental Status of $V_{ub}/V_{cb}$ and the CKM Angle $\gamma$

Plenary

Precision measurements of CKM parameters are important for defining the Standard Model and for searching for inconsistencies from new-physics contributions. I will review the status of current measurements and discuss the precision expected in future runs of LHCb and Belle II.

Plenary

The measurement of the violation of parity symmetry in electron scattering is a powerful technique in the search for new fundamental forces. The Qweak collaboration has recently completed a highly precise measurement of parity violation in the elastic scattering of longitudinally polarized electrons from unpolarized protons. From this result, the weak charge of the proton is determined and...
