Read article 'First hints of ultra-rare kaon decay'
The NA62 collaboration at CERN has found a candidate event for the ultra-rare decay K+ → π+ ν ν, demonstrating the experiment’s potential to test heavily-suppressed corners of the Stand...
Read article 'Charm oscillations precisely measured by LHCb'
Direct searches for particles beyond the Standard Model (SM) have so far come up empty handed, but perhaps physicists can get luckier with indirect searches. Quantum mechanics allows neutral flavoured...

Recent meassurements of the decays of B mesons hint at slight deviations form lepton universality
Read article 'Rare hyperon-decay anomaly under the spotlight'
The LHCb collaboration has shed light on a long-standing anomaly in the very rare hyperon decay Σ+ → pµ+µ– first observed in 2005 by Fermilab’s HyperCP experiment. The HyperCP team found ...

The LHCb collaboration has published the result of precision mass and width measurements of the χc1 and χc2 charmonium states, performed for the first time by using the newly discovered decays χc1â...
Read article 'LHCb digs deeper into lepton-flavour universality'
The LHCb collaboration has released yet another result in its campaign to test lepton-flavour universality. Following anomalies already detected in the rate that B mesons decay into muons compared to ...
