16th Conference on Flavor Physics and CP Violation (eBook)

Presenting the proceedings of FPCP 2018, this book reviews the status quo of flavor physics and discusses the latest findings in this exciting area. Flavor physics has been instrumental in the formulation and understanding of the standard model, and it is possible that the direction of new physics will be significantly influenced by flavor sector, also known as the intensity frontier, making it possible to indirectly test the existence of new physics up to a very high scale, beyond that of the energy frontier scale accessible at the LHC.

The book is intended for academics around the globe involved in particle physics research, professionals associated with the related technologies and those who are interested in learning about the future of physics and its prospects and directions.

Anjan Giri is a Professor of Physics at Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad. Giri works on the area of B Physics, CP violation, Neutrino physics and looking for signals of physics beyond the standard model using experimental data. He has published more than 80 papers in International Journals with more than 4000 citations. Giri is a member of NOvA and DUNE collaborations at Fermilab, USA and Belle collaboration at KEK, Japan. He is known for his work named GGSZ (Giri-Grossman-Soffer-Zupan) method for the determination of CKM phase g, which is being used as one of the important methods by experiments.
