B-Bbar-mixing, CP-violation and lifetimes (C1b)

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

The main focus of project C1b are lifetimes and inclusive decays of B and D mesons. Based on the Heavy Quark Expansion a systematic expansion of the physical quantities are obtained as an expansion in the inverse heavy quark mass. Several matching coefficient are computed to higher order in perturbative QCD and their phenomenological implications are studied.
