Description

Using the large heavy flavour cross section at the LHC, the Standard Model can be probed more precisely than ever before. Results comparing the rates of neutral and charged rare B decays using 1.0 fb-1 of luminosity collected at the LHCb detector are presented. This so-called "isospin asymmetry" is expected to very close to zero in the SM, however results show a significant deviation from this prediction.
