Description

Abstract:
It is believed that there is an even more fundamental theory than the Standard Model, called new physics beyond the Standard Model. The search for new physics is one of the main challenges of modern science. Precise measurements of flavor physics, particularly meson decays, are an essential approach to investigate new physics. Meson decays can be calculated with good accuracy within a framework of the Standard Model, and hence sensitivity to new physics is excellent. In recent years, a number of experimental anomalies have been found by precision measurements. Interestingly, some of these anomalies have been cross-checked by different experiments. Struggling to explain the anomalies by new physics is a task of particle phenomenology, and the Standard Model itself also has such a history. In this talk, I will present recent progress with new physics interpretations of the flavor anomalies, also known as lepton flavor universality violation. I will also argue future prospects of flavor physics, including our proposed methods to distinguish the new physics models.

Brief biography:
I received a Ph.D. in Theoretical Physics from the University of Tokyo, Japan,  in March 2015, where my adviser was Prof. Moroi. Then, I became postdoc at two places: KEK, Japan and Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany. Now, I belong to Nagoya University as a designated assistant professor, and went to Technion, Israel as a long visiting researcher.
