Inclusive semi-leptonic, rare and radiative decays of B-mesons (C1a)

• Subject Area: Nuclear and Elementary Particle Physics, Quantum Mechanics, Relativity, Fields
• Term: since 2019
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 396021762

In project C1a various aspects of the Heavy Quark Expansion are used to provide precision predictions for inclusive B-meson decays. Both higher order perturbative corrections and non-perturbative matrix elements will be computed. This will lead to a more precise determination of fundamental flavour-physics parameters such as the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix element V_{cb}.
