Heavy quarks, such as charm and beauty, possess masses significantly larger than the characteristic energy scale of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), and are thus predominantly produced in hard-scattering processes with large momentum transfer…
Studies of charm physics with the 2010 LHCb data sample are presented. Time-integrated searches for CP violation in D+ -> K- K+ pi+ and D0 -> K- K+, pi- pi+ are discussed.
In the companion paper it was shown that there are six observables in $gg\to t \bar t \to (b \bar b c) (\bar b \ell \bar \nu)$ that can be used to reveal the presence of new physics (NP) in $t \to b \bar b c$. In the present paper we…
The study of charmless b-hadron decays provides information for testing the CKM picture of CP violation in the Standard Model. In addition, as they can proceed through loop diagrams, they are also sensitive to physics beyond the Standard…

The $p_{\rm T}$-differential production cross sections of the prompt (B feed-down subtracted) charmed mesons D$^0$, D$^+$, and D$^{*+}$ in the rapidity range $|y|<0.5$, and for transverse momentum $1< p_{\rm T} <12$ GeV/$c$, were measured…
Motivated by recent experimental results on charm physics we investigate implications of the updated constraints of new physics in rare charm meson decays. We first reconsider effects of the MSSM in $c\to u \gamma$ constrained by the recent…
Rare decays of b-hadrons provide high sensitivity to New Physics effects. Several deviations with respect to the Standard Model predictions have been observed in recent years, leading to significant tensions in global fit analyses. It is…
