R(D) ratios in line at LHCb

The accidental symmetries observed between the three generations of leptons are poorly understood, with no compelling theoretical motivation.

The B’s Ke⁺e^–s

The Implications of LHCb measurements and future prospects workshop drew together more than 200 theorists and experimentalists from across the world.

A rich harvest of results in Prague

The 42nd international conference on high-energy physics reported progress across all areas of high-energy physics.

Using U-spin to squeeze CP violation

The LHCb collaboration has undertaken a new study of B → DD decays using data from LHC Run 2.

Charming clues for existence

Alexander Lenz argues that the charm quark is an experimental and theoretical enigma that has the potential to shed light on the matter–antimatter asymmetry in the universe.

Six rare decays at the energy frontier

Andrzej Buras explains how two rare kaon decays and four rare B-meson decays will soon probe for new physics beyond the reach of direct searches at colliders.

Zooming in on leptonic W decays

In a new measurement, ATLAS has turned its attention to the comparison of W decays to muons and electrons.

LHCb squeezes D-meson mixing

The LHCb collaboration recently measured a set of parameters that determine the matter–antimatter oscillation of the neutral D meson with unprecedented precision.
