Search for the lepton flavour violating decays B0→e±μ∓ and B0s→e±μ∓ with LHCb Run 2 data

Sebastian Schulte

A large variety of new physics models suggest that the rates for lepton flavour violating

b

-hadron decays may be much higher than predicted in the Standard Model, which leads to a high interest in the search for such decays. This thesis presents the se ...

The present and future status of heavy neutral leptons

Alexey Boyarsky, Oleg Ruchayskiy, Lesya Shchutska, Marco Drewes, Jean-Loup Tastet, Inar Timiryasov, Juraj Klaric

The existence of nonzero neutrino masses points to the likely existence of multiple Standard Model neutral fermions. When such states are heavy enough that they cannot be produced in oscillations, they are referred to as heavy neutral leptons (HNLs). In th ...

First indication of the Lambda-b baryon decay to a charmless baryonic final state

Vladimir Macko

The Standard Model of particle physics provides predictions of many fundamental processes. One of them is the existence of charmless processes involving only baryons, namely charmless purely baryonic decays of baryons. Yet none of these decay modes has bee ...

Nikolaos Charitonidis, Philip Crivelli

We report the results of a search for a new vector boson (A') decaying into two dark matter particles chi 1 chi 2 of different mass. The heavier chi(2) particle subsequently decays to chi 1 and an off-shell Dark Photon A'* -> e(+)e(-). For a sufficiently l ...
