Read article 'Bs → μμ seen after being sought for decades'
It has taken decades of hunting but finally the first evidence for one of the rarest particle decays ever seen in nature, the decay of a Bs (composed of a beauty antiquark and a strange quark) into tw...
Read article 'LHCb reports first 5σ observation of charm mixing'
The large cross-section for charm production at the LHC, and the geometry and instrumentation of the LHCb detector, provide samples of charmed hadrons far larger than those accumulated by previous exp...
Read article 'Large CP-violation effects appear in three-body B decays'
One of the interesting ways to search for CP violation in B-meson decays is by using three-body decays of charged B mesons.
Read article 'Top-quark production gets a boost'
With the expected energy upgrade of the LHC the frequency of boosted final states will increase and even more sophisticated methods will be needed to search for physics beyond the Standard Model
Read article 'Can heavy-ion collisions cast light on strong CP?'
The symmetries of parity (P) and its combination with charge conjugation (C) are known to be broken in the weak interaction.
Read article 'Boosting sensitivity to new physics'
The LHC is a tremendously powerful tool built to explore physics at the tera-electron-volt scale. This year it is being operated with a centre-of-mass energy of 8 TeV, which is a little over half of ...
Read article 'New results cast light on semileptonic Bs asymmetry'
LHCb reported the most precise measurement to date of an asymmetry in B-mesons.
Read article 'A surprising asymmetry and more excited states'
The predictions in these channels suffer from relatively large theoretical uncertainties but these can be overcome by measuring asymmetries in which the uncertainties cancel.
