Three-body B+ decays violate CP
LHCb’s amplitude analyses contain the largest CP asymmetry in a single component of an amplitude analysis, found in the ππ ↔ KK re-scattering amplitude.
The flavour of new physics
Recent experimental results hint that some electroweak processes are not lepton-flavour independent.
Standard Model stands strong at Moriond
A major theme of the electroweak session was flavour physics, and the star of the show was LHCb’s observation of CP violation in charm decays.
New pentaquarks resolved by LHCb
The LHCb data also confirm that the structure previously reported by the collaboration in 2015 has now been resolved into two narrow, overlapping peaks.
Hunting the muon’s forbidden decay
The MEG II experiment is preparing to probe the muon’s flavour-violating decay to a positron and a photon with unprecedented sensitivity.
Flavour anomalies continue to intrigue
The LHCb collaboration has released a much anticipated update on its measurement of RK – a powerful test of lepton universality.
LHCb observes CP violation in charm decays
Met with an impromptu champagne celebration, the result represents a milestone in particle physics.
BaBar celebrates its 25th anniversary
BaBar has now chalked up more than 580 papers on CP violation and many other topics.
Charm mixing tests the Standard Model
Given LHCb’s current level of experimental precision, any sign of CP violation would be a clear indication of physics beyond the Standard Model.
Real-time triggering boosts heavy-flavour programme
LHCb has been flooded by b- and c-hadrons due to the large beauty and charm production cross-sections within the experiment’s acceptance.
