Hyperon Beta Decay and the CKM Matrix

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2010-11-23 v1

Abstract

I shall present a pedagogical discussion of hyperon semileptonic decays, covering some of the historical background, the basics notions of hyperon semileptonic decays, deeply inelastic scattering and the CKM matrix, and the description of SU(2) and SU(3) breaking. I shall also present a prediction for a process under current experimental study.
