The LHCb collaboration turns 30!
In August 1995 a Letter of Intent was submitted for the LHCb experiment, the world’s first dedicated B-physics experiment exploiting the unique potential of high-energy hadron-hadron collisions. This year, the…
Searching for new physics with the flavour changing neutral current decay B0→K*μ+μ–
Last week at the LHCC open session and this week at a CERN seminar, the LHCb collaboration presented the legacy results from Run-1 and Run-2 data of the angular distributions…
Observation of orbitally excited Bc+ states
At a CERN seminar today, the LHCb collaboration announced the first observation of orbitally excited Bc+ states, which are composed of a beauty-charm quark-antiquark pair. Within the expected mass range…
First observation of muonic Dalitz decays of χb mesons
The LHCb collaboration submitted today a paper reporting precise measurements of the mass values and splittings of the hidden-beauty particles that exist within the bb quark bound system called bottomonium.…
