Indirect signs of new physics beyond the Standard Model may be appearing in $B \to K^{(*)}\mu^+\mu^-$ decays. If confirmed, the title question will be of paramount importance in determining the strategy for future colliders. We answer it by…

The $\it{\Xi_{cc}^{++}\to \Xi_{c}^{'+}\pi^{+}}$ decay is observed using proton-proton collisions collected by the LHCb experiment at a centre-of-mass energy of $13\mathrm{\,Te\kern -0.1em V}$, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of…

We report a search for the doubly charmed baryon $\Xi_{cc}^{+}$ through the decay $\Xi_{cc}^{+} \to \Lambda_{c}^{+} K^{-} \pi^{+}$, using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $0.65~\mathrm{pb^{-1}}$ of $pp$ collisions…

The LHCb experiment is capable of studying four-body decays of the $b$-flavored baryons $\Lambda_b$ and $\Xi_b^0$ to charmless final states consisting of charged pions, kaons, and baryons. We remark on the search in such modes for…

If the LHC should fail to observe direct signals for new physics, it may become necessary to look for new physics effects in rare events such as flavour-changing decays of the top quark, which, in the Standard Model, are predicted to be too…

The first observation and study of two new baryonic structures in the final state $\Xi_b^0\pi^+\pi^-$ and the confirmation of the $\Xi_b(6100)^-$ state in the $\Xi_b^-\pi^+\pi^-$ decay mode are reported using proton-proton collision data…

A highly significant structure is observed in the $\Lambda_c^+K^-\pi^+\pi^+$ mass spectrum, where the $\Lambda_c^+$ baryon is reconstructed in the decay mode $pK^-\pi^+$. The structure is consistent with originating from a weakly decaying…

We use the method of light-cone sum rules to study the electromagnetic transition of the $\Xi^{*++}_{cc}$ into $\Xi^{++}_{cc}\gamma$, whose decay width is estimated to be $13.7~{^{+17.7}_{-~7.9}}$ keV. This value is large enough for the…

The increasing number of flavour anomalies calls for the investigation of new processes where tensions similar to the observed ones could emerge. Observables sensitive to physics beyond the Standard Model need to be identified. We discuss…

The doubly charmed baryon $\Xi_{cc}^{++}$ was recently observed by LHCb via the decay processes of $\Xi_{cc}^{++}\to \Lambda_c^+ K^-\pi^+\pi^+$ and $\Xi_c^+\pi^+$. These discovery channels were successfully predicted in the framework that…

Inspired by the LHCb's newest observation of two new excited $\Xi_b^0$ states, we systematically study the strong decays of the low-lying $\lambda$- and $\rho$-modes $1D$-wave $\Xi_{b}$ and $\Xi^{'}_{b}$ baryons using the chiral quark model…

We present a status report on the indirect searches for New Physics performed by means of heavy flavour decays. Particular attention is devoted to the recent experimental results in B and charm physics obtained by the LHC experiments. The…

The LHCb Collaboration announced the observation of doubly charmed baryon through $\Xi_{c c}^{++} \rightarrow \Lambda_{c}^{+} K^{-} \pi^{+} \pi^{+}$ in 2017. Since then, a series of studies of doubly heavy baryons have been presented.…

One of the fundamental predictions of the Standard Model is Lepton Flavour Universality. Any deviation from this prediction would indicate the existence of physics beyond the Standard Model. Recent LHCb measurements present a pattern of…

The first observation of the doubly charmed baryon $\it{\Xi}_{cc}^+$ is reported through its decay to the $\it{\Lambda}_c^+ K^-\pi^+$ final state, with a statistical significance exceeding seven standard deviations. The observation is made…

The LHCb experiment has the potential, during the 2010-11 run, to observe the rare decay $B^0_s\to \mu^+\mu^-$ or improve significantly its exclusion limits. This study will provide very sensitive probes of New Physics (NP) effects. High…

We systematically study the $S$-wave doubly charmed baryons using the method of QCD sum rules. Our results suggest that the $\Xi_{cc}^{++}$ recently observed by LHCb can be well identified as the $S$-wave $\Xi_{cc}$ state of $J^P = 1/2^+$.…

Rare and very rare decays of third-generation particles, including $b$-hadrons and $\tau$ leptons, provide sensitive probes of physics beyond the Standard Model (SM). Unlike direct searches limited by collider energies, they probe new…

The LHCb experiment, bolstered up by the 10^12 b-hadrons to be produced yearly in its interaction region, is an excellent place to study rare B decays. Flavor-changing neutral currents are forbidden at tree level in the Standard Model. They…

The LHCb Experiment at CERN has observed a doubly-charmed baryon $\Xi_{cc}^{++} =ccu$ with a mass of $3621.40 \pm 0.78$ MeV, consistent with many predictions. We use the same methods that led us to predict $M(\Xi_{cc},~J^P{=}1/2^+) = 3627…
