LHCb discovers new baryon
The LHCb collaboration has discovered a new weakly decaying particle: a baryon called the Ξ++cc, which contains two charm quarks and an up quark. The discovery of the new particle, which was observed...

On 11 April, the Belle II detector at the KEK laboratory in Japan was successfully “rolled-in” to the collision point of the upgraded SuperKEKB accelerator, marking an important milestone for the ...
At a seminar at CERN on 18 April, the LHCb collaboration presented new results in flavour physics that show an interesting departure from Standard Model (SM) predictions. The new measurement concerns ...
The decay rate of the B0s meson to two muons is a flagship measurement in flavour physics. It is extremely rare and well predicted in the Standard Model (SM), with a branching fraction of (3.65±0.23)...
Half a century after the quark model was devised, a number of hadrons appear to challenge its axioms. But are they truly exotic?
The LHCb experiment has uncovered tantalising evidence that baryons made of matter behave differently to those made of antimatter, violating fundamental charge-parity (CP) symmetry. Although CP-violat...
In high-energy nucleus–nucleus collisions, heavy-flavour quarks (charm and beauty) are produced on a very short time scale in initial hard-scattering processes and thus they experience the entire ev...
The first b-physics analysis using data from LHC Run 2, which began in 2015 with proton–proton collisions at an energy of 13 TeV, shows great promise for the physics programme of LHCb. During 201...
The LHCb collaboration presented new results at the 8th International Workshop on Charm Physics (Charm 2016), which took place in Bologna on 5 to 9 September. Among various novelties, the collaboratio...
The bumper data harvest at LHC Run 2 continues for the LHCb experiment. In mid-August, the collaboration celebrated the milestone of 1 fb–1 integrated luminosity collected so far during 2016, wit...
