Abstract

In these proceedings, we explore the possible reach of the LHCb dataset in the area of charm semileptonic decays. Specifically, we give prospects for the measurement of Vcs/Vcd|V_{cs}|/|V_{cd}| using B(D0Kμ+νμ)/B(D0πμ+νμ)\mathcal{B}(D^0\to K^-\mu^+\nu_\mu)/\mathcal{B}(D^0\to\pi^-\mu^+\nu_\mu) with Run I data. Preliminary projections show that the LHCb Run I dataset would give a relative statistical uncertainty of 0.2%\sim 0.2\% on this ratio. We also motivate the search for lepton non-universality in the charm sector.
