Semileptonic b-decays: Preparing theory predictions for the era of high-luminosity experiments — •Danny van Dyk — Universität Zürich, Winterthurerstrasse 190, 8057 Zürich, Schweiz

Semileptonic decays of b-hadrons comprise an important set of probes for physics beyond the Standard Model. In order to fully use the existing and upcoming measurements from the B factory experiments, the LHC, and future high-luminosity experiments, theoretical inputs for hadronic matrix elements in semileptonic decays must be available with high precision. I will present a choice of approaches that are successful in reducing the theory uncertainties of these matrix elements. The impact of these reduced theory uncertainties on Standard Model predictions, as well as constraints on models beyond the Standard-Model, will also be discussed.
