ABSTRACT: |
Many tests of the Standard Model require hadrons to be detected in the final state, for instance tests of CP violation in B-decays. What is observed is then inevitably coloured by strong interaction dynamics. An understanding of this physics is essential if we are
to unravel the underlying quark interactions that may reveal physics beyond the Standard Model. In turn, B and heavy flavour decays are presently the richest source of information about strong dynamics. The talk will describe what heavy flavour decays can teach us about light meson physics and what you need to know about light quark dynamics to extract useful information from heavy flavour decays. |
