Anomalies in particle physics and their implications for physics beyond the standard model

A Crivellin, B Mellado - Nature Reviews Physics, 2024 - nature.com
The standard model (SM) of particle physics is the mathematical description of the
fundamental constituents and interactions of matter. Its last missing particle, the Higgs …

A new puzzle in non-leptonic B decays

A Biswas, S Descotes-Genon, J Matias… - Journal of High Energy …, 2023 - Springer

Anomalies in Hadronic Decays

R Berthiaume, B Bhattacharya, R Boumris, A Jean… - Physical Review Letters, 2024 - APS
In this Letter, we perform fits to B→ PP decays, where B={B 0, B+, B s 0} and the
pseudoscalar P={π, K}, under the assumption of flavor SU (3) symmetry [SU (3) F]. Although …

The branching fraction of : three puzzles

Y Amhis, Y Grossman, Y Nir - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 - Springer
A bstract The branching fraction of the\({B} _s\to {K}^ 0 {\overline {K}}^ 0\) decay has been
recently measured by the LHCb and Belle experiments. We study the consistency of the …

decays and the extraction of fd/fu at hadron colliders

J Davies, M Jung, S Schacht - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2024 - Springer

recently. In this work, we extend these findings to systems with a direct sum of …

Uniting low-energy semileptonic and hadronic anomalies within SMEFT

A Datta, J Kumar, S Kumbhakar, D London - Journal of High Energy …, 2024 - Springer
A bstract Two categories of four-fermion SMEFT operators are semileptonic (two quarks and
two leptons) and hadronic (four quarks). At tree level, an operator of a given category …
