We investigate the crossing-symmetry relation between $b\to c\tau^-\bar\nu$ decay and $b\bar c\to \tau^-\bar\nu$ scattering to derive direct correlations of New Physics in semi-tauonic $B$-meson decays and the mono-tau signature at the LHC…

We study the extent to which spin assignments of new particles produced at the LHC can be deduced in the decay of a scalar or fermion C into a new stable (or quasi-stable) particle A through the chain C \to B^\pm q, B^\pm \to A W^\pm, W^\pm…

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…
