While CP violation (CPV) has been firmly established in the decays of strange, charm, and beauty mesons, it has not been observed in the baryon sector yet. The charmless decays of beauty baryons offer a promising avenue for investigation, as significant CPV effects could emerge from the interference between tree and penguin topologies, which contribute comparably to the decay amplitudes of...
The B0 → K0∗μ+μ− decay occurs via the rare flavor-changing neutral current (FCNC) transition b → sl+l−, making it a sensitive probe for New Physics (NP) since FCNC is forbidden at tree level in the Standard Model (SM). Virtual NP contributions can significantly influence this decay, and previous LHCb measurements have shown notable discrepancies with SM predictions at a 3σ level. Interpreting...
Open heavy-flavor hadrons and quarkonia production are considered among the most valuable tools for the investigation of the dense and hot matter produced in relativitstic heavy ion collisions and to study the properties of sQGP.
We will present recent open flavor and quarkonia measurements in p+p and A+A collisions from the experiments at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at the...
The Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) γ angle can be determined by exploiting the interference between favoured b —> c and suppressed b —> u transition. It is the only angle that is directly measured at the tree level with negligible theoretical uncertainties. It provides a benchmark for the SM of the particle physics to explain the CP violation and to test the new physics contribution Beyond...
