Purpose of the accord

The objective of this accord a clear and well-defined structure for interfacing computational tools of "New Physics" models with low-energy flavour calculations. It should hence provide a model-independent parametrization of flavor related quantities based on the existing SLHA structure. That will allow to different programs to talk and to be interfaced, and to users to have a clear and well-defined result that can eventually be used for different purposes.

Current proposal (status 24/06/09)

Each block's name links to a respective discussion page where you can find more information and make suggestions for modifications and improvements. Please don't modify the current proposal unless a consensus is reached on the discussion subpage. For general comments on the FLHA, not related to a specific block, you can also use the discussion page associated to this page.

It might be better to split the Wilson coefficients into two blocks corresponding to Delta_F=1 and Delta_F=2.

Block Flavor observables

Block FOBS  # Flavor observables
#process observable value
    1     1     2.97350499e-04   # BR(b->s gamma)
    1     2     8.25882011e-02   # Delta0(B->K* gamma)
    2     1     3.46978963e-09   # BR(B_s->mu+ mu-)
    3     1     1.09699841e-04   # BR(B_u->tau nu)
    3     2     9.96640362e-01   # R(B_u->tau nu)
    4     1     6.96556180e-03   # BR(B+->D0 tau nu)
    4     2     2.97261612e-01   # BR(B+->D0 tau nu)/BR(B+-> D0 e nu)
    5     1     4.81251996e-02   # BR(D_s->tau nu)
    6     1     4.96947301e-03   # BR(D_s->mu nu)
    7     1     6.45414388e-01   # BR(K->mu nu)/BR(pi->mu nu)
    7     2     9.99985822e-01   # R_l23

The first column here specifies the underlying process (e.g. b to s gamma) and the second column defines the observable (e.g. BR, isospin,...). The numbering of the processes and observables is not set yet.

Block theoretical errors

Block FOBSERR  # Theoretical error for flavor observables
#process observable error
    1     1     2.97350499e-04   # BR(b->s gamma)
