Today at the CERN seminar the LHCb Collaboration presented new tests of lepton universality, one of the basic principles of the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics. This principle states…

Today the LHCb collaboration has, for the first time, released its data to the public allowing research to be conducted by anyone in the world. All scientific results from the…

Today the two halves of new Vertex Locator (VELO) approached the LHC proton-proton collision point for the first time. This process is called “VELO closing” in the LHCb jargon. The…

[ R(D*) = 0.281±0.018±0.024 ][ R(D) = 0.441±0.060±0.066 ] Today at the CERN seminar the LHCb Collaboration presented new tests of lepton universality, one of the basic principles of the…

The International Conference on High Energy Physics, ICHEP 2022, ended today in Bologna (Italy). At this conference, the LHCb collaboration reported a new measurement of the CP-violating asymmetry, ACP, in…

Start of LHC Run 3. Today, at 16:47, protons collided again at LHCb after a 3.5 year break known as Long Shutdown 2 (LS2). During this period the original LHCb…

Today, at the CERN seminar, the LHCb Collaboration reported the observation of a strange pentaquark, a doubly charged tetraquark and its neutral partner. These results will also be presented at…

The largest CP violation ever observed. This week, at the 10th Annual Large Hadron Collider Physics Conference, LHCP2022, LHCb presented results of the determination of the Cabibbo–Kobayashi–Maskawa (CKM) angle γ…

Today, at the Quark Matter conference at Kraków, Poland, the LHCb Collaboration presented results of an analysis which may have significant consequences for the search for “dark matter” in the…

The largest CP violation ever observed. Today, at the Rencontres de Moriond EW, and on Tuesday, during a CERN seminar, the LHCb Collaboration reported the results of measurements of CP…
