Subject: [Theory-wide] Nikhef theory seminar -- today @ 2pm
Dear all,
Today we have a theory seminar at 2pm in room H331.  The speaker is
Giulia Ricciardi from Naples.  See below for details.
Regards,
Damien George and Mert Aybat.

Date/place: Tuesday 31st May, 2pm, H331
Speaker:    Giulia Ricciardi (Naples)
Title:      eta - eta prime Mixing - From electromagnetic transitions 
to weak decays of charm and beauty hadrons
It has been realized for a long time that knowing the eta and 
eta-prime wave functions in terms of quark and gluon components probes 
our understanding of non-perturbative QCD dynamics. Great effort has been 
given to this  challenge -- yet no clear picture has emerged even with the 
most recent KLOE data. We point out which measurements would be most 
helpful in arriving at a more definite conclusion. A better knowledge of 
these wave functions will significantly help to disentangle the weight of 
different decay subprocesses in semi-leptonic decays of D+, Ds^+ and B+ 
mesons. The resulting insights will be instrumental in treating even 
non-leptonic B transitions involving &eta; and &eta;-prime and their CP 
asymmetries; thus they can sharpen the case for or against New Physics 
intervening there.
