While B0 and B+ mesons are well studied, mainly by the B factories, less is known about Bs mesons. Specifically large new physics effects may still be present in the Bs system. This unexplored region is studied by the CDF, D0, and Belle…
Axions and other very light axion-like particles appear in many extensions of the Standard Model, and are leading candidates to compose part or all of the missing matter of the Universe. They also appear in models of inflation, dark…
