Heavy-Flavor Results from CMS
Abstract
Heavy-flavor physics offers the opportunity to make indirect tests of physics beyond the Standard Model through precision measurements, and of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) through particle production studies. The rare decays B0s, B0 and D0 to dimuon final states are excellent tests of the flavor sector of the Standard Model and are sensitive to new physics. We report on studies of these decays and present the first observation of the excited b baryon Xib*0 in strong decays to Xib and a charged pion, the observation of two Bc meson decay modes and production properties of the Lambda_b baryon, all performed with the CMS experiment in pp collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV.
