Hi Everyone, This week we'll meet at 1 PM Eastern on Thursday, Nov. 13, for our weekly LQS meeting. I hope you'll be able to join us. Dial-in is 510-665-5437, passcode 7336. We will *not* meet the following week, Nov. 20. The paper for this week is a Swagato Banerjee's BaBar writeup from his ICHEP presentation: "Lepton universality, Vus, and search for second-class currents in tau decays", http://arxiv.org/abs/0811.1429. His ICHEP08 talk slides on the same topic are at http://www.hep.upenn.edu/ichep08/talks/misc/download_slides?Talk_id=187 Hope you can join us Thursday. Thanks, --Ray On Wed, 5 Nov 2008, Ray F.
