Rare decays of beauty and charm hadrons offer a rich playground to make precise tests of the Standard Model and look for New Physics at the level of quantum corrections. A review of recent LHCb results will be presented.
Recent measurements in the charm sector are reviewed, concentrating on results which are sensitive to New Physics effects. The scope of the presentation includes D0-D0bar mixing searches, a CPT / Lorentz invariance study, and a range of…
After sketching heavy quark expansions as applied to heavy flavour decays I emphasize the relevance of nonperturbative dynamics at the charm scale for exclusive $b\to c$ modes. I address the issue of quark-hadron duality for charm and…
In this work, we systematically study the strong decay behaviors of the charmed mesons $D_{1}^{*}(2680)$, $D_{3}^{*}(2760)$ and $D_{2}^{*}(3000)$ reported by the LHCb collaboration. By comparing the masses and the decay properties with the…
