Working group 2  preliminary program for September 23-25 Meeting

Theory Session

Common Theory Issues:

• The status of theoretical uncertainties, what theoretical calculations are needed, or would be interesting

• What can be learned from measurements of these decays, specifically what quantities (asymmetries, form factors, ...) are interesting experimental measurements

The talks are scheduled for 30 minutes, with plenty of time for discussion.
 

Experimental Session

Common Experimental Issues:

• The experiences at CDF/D0 with rare and semi-leptonic decays
• The experimental limitations, detector issues, difficulties and strengths relevant for these decays that have to be faced by each experiment
• The status of the monte carlo codes
• The MC studies: What has been done (and what are the results), and what still needs to be done for each of the experiments
• Trigger issues: What triggers are planned, what decisions still need to be made, what are the effects of planned triggers on the measurements (and vice versa)
• Tagging issues

Open discussion
 

Synthesis

Open discussion:  what are the most important semileptonic and rare decay modes to be studied at the Tevatron?  What studies need to be performed?
