18th Int. Conf. on B-Physics at Frontier Machines, Beauty 2019

29 Sept 2019, 08:00 → 4 Oct 2019, 15:00 Europe/Ljubljana

Ljubljana Exhibition and Convention Centre

The conference is the 18th edition in a series initiated in Prague in 1993. The aim of the conference is to review experimental and theoretical advances in heavy flavor physics. Scientific program will cover a wide range of research including studies of CP violation and rare decays in beauty and charm hadrons, their (semi)leptonic decays, production of heavy hadrons, spectroscopy of conventional and exotic states, and searches for New Physics effects. New results from LHCb, Belle II and other experiments will be reviewed, as well as upgraded and new experimental facilities.
