    The Belle II experiment at the SuperKEKB energy-asymmetric $e^+ e^-$ collider is a substantial upgrade of the B factory facility at the Japanese KEK laboratory. The design luminosity of the machine is $8\times 10^{35}$ cm$^{-2}$s$^{-1}$ and the Belle II experiment aims to record 50 ab$^{-1}$ of data, a factor of 50 more than its predecessor. From February to July 2018, the machine has...

    Decays of the Bs meson via b->ccbars transitions are excellent probes for physics beyond the Standard Model due to their sensitivity to the CP-violating phase phi_s. In addition, the Bs decay width and the decay width difference between the Bs mass eigenstates are measured precisely in these modes. We present the first Run 2 measurements of these quantities at LHCb.

    In the Standard Model of particle physics, CP violation arises due to a single complex phase in the Cabibboโ€“Kobayashiโ€“Maskawa (CKM) quark mixing matrix. Testing the validity of the CKM mechanism as the only source of CP violation is one of the major experimental challenges in particle physics today. Precise measurement of the CKM parameters therefore constrains the Standard Model, and may...

    The tree-level determination of the CKM angle gamma is a standard candle measurement of CP violation in the Standard Model. The latest LHCb results from time-integrated measurements of CP violation using beauty to open charm decays are presented. These include updates to previous Run 1 measurements, and new results from processes that have never been studied before, using the LHCb Run 2 data sample.

    Recently LHCb announced the exciting discovery of direct CP asymmetry in D0 decays to K-pairs and pion pairs around 15X10^-4. It is extremely difficult to do reliable calculations for the expectations from the SM for these asymmetries because of large non-perturbative effects. However, a novel mechanism is proposed to helps us understand roughly the size of the asymmetry and the key idea...

    Flavor-changing neutral current (FCNC) processes are rare within the Standard Model (SM) as they cannot occur at tree level and are suppressed at loop level by the Glashow-Iliopoulos-Maiani (GIM) mechanism. In $D$-meson decays, the GIM cancellation is almost exact, leading to expected branching fractions for $c\to u l^- l^+$ processes of order $\mathcal{O}(10^{-9})$. However, long-distance...

    Recent experimental measurements hint for possible new physics effects in B-meson decays, the so-called B-anomalies. New physics explanations of the anomalies generically imply large effects also in other observables, both at low-energies and at high-pT. I will review new physics scenarios able to address these anomalies and discuss their smoking-gun signatures. The possible connection of...

    We revisit soft gluon contributions to the "charm loop" effect in rare $B\to K^{(*)}ll$ decays, which is a large systematic uncertainty in the interpretation of the b-anomalies. Since these contributions are dominated by long-distance effects and are resistant to factorization attempts, we employ the method of light-cone sum rules to compute the relevant hadronic matrix elements. Our...

    We present a Bayesian analysis of the implications for new physics in semileptonic $b\to s$ transitions after including new measurements of $R_K$ at LHCb and new determinations of $R_{K^*}$ and $R_{K^{*+}}$ at Belle. We perform global fits with 1, 2, 4, and 8 input Wilson coefficients, plus one CKM nuisance parameter to take into account uncertainties that are not factorizable. We infer the...

    We investigate the possibility of accounting for the $b\to s\ell^+\ell^-$ anomalies via box contributions involving with new scalars and fermions.For this purpose we extend previous analysis by allowing that the new particles can also couple to right-handed Standard Model (SM) fermions as preferred by recent $b\to s\ell^+\ell^-$ data and the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon.

    In the...

    We report the measurements of the branching fractions of the decays $\tau \to K\,n\pi^0 \nu$, $n=0,1,2,3$, and $\tau\to \pi\, n\pi^0 \nu$, $n=3,4$. The measurements are based on a data sample of 435 million tau pairs produced in $e^+e^-$ collisions at and near the $Y(4S)$ peak and collected with the BABAR detector in $1999-2008$. Additional systematic studies have been completed after the...

    We present improved determinations of |Vus| with tau decays relying on the HFLAV tau branching fractions global fit results. The HFLAV results are to be included in the 2019 HFLAV report and use the recent new BaBar measurements of:

    • the branching fractions of the processes $\tau^{-}\to K^{-} n\pi^{0}\nu_\tau$ with n=1,2,3 and $\tau^{-}\to \pi^{-} n\pi^{0}\nu_\tau$ with n=3,4;

    • the...
