Testing lepton flavour universality in $B^+\to K^+\pi^+\pi^-\ell^+\ell^-$ decays with LHCb

This PhD thesis aims at testing one of the fundamental properties of the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics: the lepton flavour universality (LFU), which states that

W

and

Z

bosons are equally coupled to the three lepton generations. In this work, ...

Measurement of the B+ -> rho0 mu+ nu differential branching fraction

Veronica Sølund Kirsebom

The tension between different determinations of the CKM matrix element Vub using measurements of either exclusive or inclusive semileptonic decays represents a long-standing puzzle in flavour physics. To resolve this, measurements of new exclusive channels ...

An allowed window for heavy neutral leptons below the kaon mass

Alexey Boyarsky, Kyrylo Bondarenko, Oleg Ruchayskiy, Inar Timiryasov, Juraj Klaric

The extension of the Standard Model with two gauge-singlet Majorana fermions can simultaneously explain two beyond-the-Standard-model phenomena: neutrino masses and oscillations, as well as the origin of the matter-antimatter asymmetry in the Universe. The ...

On lepton number violation in heavy neutrino decays at colliders

Marco Drewes, Juraj Klaric

We study the perspective to observe lepton number violating signatures from heavy Majorana neutrino decays at colliders in view of the requirement to explain the light neutrino masses via the seesaw mechanism. In the minimal model with only two heavy neutr ...

The bearable compositeness of leptons

Luca Vecchi

Partial compositeness as a theory of flavor in the lepton sector is assessed. We begin presenting the first systematic analysis of neutrino mass generation in this context, and identifying the distinctive mass textures. We then update the bounds from charg ...

Constraints on violation of Lorentz invariance from atmospheric showers initiated by multi-TeV photons

Sergey Sibiryakov

Parameterizing hypothetical violation of Lorentz invariance at high energies using the framework of effective quantum field theory, we discuss its effect on the formation of atmospheric showers by very-high-energy gamma rays. In the scenario where Lorentz ...

b-flavour tagging in pp collisions at LHCb

Measurements of CP violation and flavour oscillations of neutral B mesons require the knowledge of the meson flavour at the production time. Flavour-tagging algorithms in the LHCb experiment allow to perform such measurements with very high precision. Rece ...
