A measurement is reported of the ratio of branching fractions R (J/ψ)= B (B c+→ J/ψ τ+ ν τ)/B
(B c+→ J/ψ μ+ ν μ), where the τ+ lepton is identified in the decay mode τ+→ μ+ ν μ ν¯ τ. This …

Motivated by the success of the flavour physics programme carried out over the last decade
at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), we characterize in detail the physics potential of its High …

A bstract We perform a general model-independent analysis of\(b\to c\tau {\overline {\nu}} _
{\tau}\) transitions, including measurements of ℛ D, ℛ D∗, their q 2 differential distributions …

Observations of exotic structures in the J/ψ p channel, which we refer to as charmonium-
pentaquark states, in Λ b 0→ J/ψ Kp decays are presented. The data sample corresponds to …

In this paper we describe Herwig++ version 2.3, a general-purpose Monte Carlo event
generator for the simulation of hard lepton-lepton, lepton-hadron and hadron-hadron …

In this paper we describe Herwig++ version 2.2, a general-purpose Monte Carlo event
generator for the simulation of hard lepton-lepton and hadron-hadron collisions. A number of …

A bstract We revisit the status of the new-physics interpretations of the anomalies in
semileptonic B decays in light of the new data reported by Belle on the lepton-universality …

The production fraction of the B c-meson with respect to the sum of B-and B¯ 0 mesons is
measured in both 7 and 13 TeV center-of-mass (cm) energy pp collisions produced by the …

Semileptonic and nonleptonic decays of the B c meson to charmonium and D mesons are
studied in the framework of the relativistic quark model. The decay form factors are explicitly …

A bstract Motivated by the persistent anomalies reported in the\(b\to c\tau\overline {v}\) data,
we perform a general model-independent analysis of these transitions, in the presence of …
