In the framework of the MIAPP program “Flavour Physics with High Luminosity Experiments”, held Oct. 24th – Nov. 18th in Munich, we intend to organize a satellite-workshop, with the aim to link the physics of high precision symmetry tests in the light and heavy quark sector.

The LHC and the upcoming Belle-2 experiment offer unprecedented exploratory potential using decays of B and D mesons. Parity, time-reversal violation and CP violation provide insight to the physics at smallest distance scales governed by new heavy particles and/or interactions. The same scales can be probed by next generation precision neutron experiments, exploring the Lorentz-structure in neutron beta-decay, searching for a neutron EDM or probing the charge of the neutron. 
 
The workshop aims to understand the synergies as well as the complementarity of both approaches, the precision tests of heavy meson decay and the precision neutron measurements, for the search of beyond the Standard Model physics (BSM). The work-shop should pave the way for a consistent common analysis and interpretation of neutron and heavy meson data.    
  
We intend to join experimentalists from neutron and heavy meson physics from Vienna, Munich and Heidelberg with the interested theoreticians in the two fields. The emphasis should be on links, common interpretation and the evaluation of the relevance of future precision measurements in the light of the prospective sensitivities to discover or constraint BSM physics in the coming decade.

Extra information

We would like to invite you to this workshop to be held Nov. 7-8 in Munich. We would feel honored if you could join this very informal workshop and present ideas about the problem outlined above. Theory talks will be complemented by presentations on new experiments/measurements, which in turn will focus on the basic measuring technique and the precision and possible uncertainties of such measurements.
