The world average using inclusive b-hadron decays to a c hadron and a charged lepton differs from exclusive semileptonic B decays by three standard deviations.
Read article 'Who ordered all of that?'
Explaining the bizarre pattern of fermion types and masses has led theorists to suggest that the “flavour scale” could be at a much lower energy than previously thought.

Highlights of Beauty 2019 included lepton-universality anomalies, CP violation, pentaquarks, ultra-rare decays and reports on Belle II and the LHCb upgrade.

The 29th International Symposium on Lepton–Photon Interactions at High Energies provided a snapshot of the entire field.
Read article 'Chasing charged-lepton-flavour violation'
The LHCb collaboration recently reported the results of searches for two complementary charged-lepton-flavour violating decays.
Read article '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.
Read article 'The flavour of new physics'
Recent experimental results hint that some electroweak processes are not lepton-flavour independent.
Read article '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.
Read article '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.
