This paper presents the design of the LHCb trigger and its performance on data taken at the LHC in 2011. A principal goal of LHCb is to perform flavour physics measurements, and the trigger is designed to distinguish charm and beauty decays…
This article is a short and non-exhaustive summary of the prospects to find New Physics with LHCb as was presented at the HCP conference at Toronto on August 26th 2010.
The hot and dense nuclear matter, that is produced in heavy-ion collisions, could be studied by jets originating from beauty quarks. In-medium energy loss of these quarks provides information on several properties of the quark-gluon plasma,…
Some thoughts are presented on the inter-relation between beauty and truth in science in general and theoretical physics in particular. Some conjectural procedures that can be used to create new ideas, concepts and results are illustrated…
The Belle II experiment will measure the rare decays $B\to K\nu\nu$ and $B\to K^* \nu\nu$ with increased sensitivity which can hence be expected to serve as a very efficient probe of new physics. We calculate the relevant branching ratios…
New results in processes with an underlying quark transition $b\to s \ell^+\ell^-$ have been recently reported by the LHCb and Belle II collaborations. In this note we show how the main implications of a handful of new measurements can be…
The role lattice QCD can play in $B$ physics is surveyed. We include results for the decay constant, and discuss upcoming calculations of semileptonic form factors and neutral-meson mixing. Together with experimental measurements, these…
This contribution summarizes some of the important theoretical progress that has been made in the arena of electroweak physics at hadron colliders. The focus is on developments that have sharpened theoretical predictions for final states…
The LHCb experiment, designed for searches of new physics in beauty and charm hadron decays, has been recording data at the Large Hadron Collider since 2010. The physics program incorporates $p$$p$, $p$A, and AA collisions, ultra-peripheral…
These proceedings discuss recent measurements by the LHCb experiment on mixing and $C\!P$ violation with beauty and charm mesons, as presented at the Moriond QCD 2024 conference. All discussed measurements show agreement with the Standard…
We present an overview of the results obtained in pPb and PbPb collisions at the Large Hadron Collider during Run 1. We first discuss the results for global characteristics: cross sections, hadron multiplicities, azimuthal asymmetries,…
In tau physics, we are at the frontier between the completion of the LEP program and the start of analyses from b-factories, which are expected to produce results in the coming years. Nice results from CLEO are steadily delivered in the…
The decays $B^{0}_{s} \to J\psi\pi^{+}\pi^{-}K^{+}K^{-}$ are studied using a data set corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9fb$^{-1}$, collected with the LHCb detector in proton-proton collisions at centre-of-mass energies of 7, 8…
The CHARM 2010 meeting had over 30 presentations of experimental results, plus additional future facilities talks just before this summary talk. Since there is not enough time even to summarize all that has been shown from experiments and…
With ~10fb$^{-1}$ data from Belle, the results of b to c and u decays have been represented here. Several decay modes have been studied, which include charmonium, semileptonic decay and Cabibbo-suppressed decays mode. The preliminary…
Recent results of baryonic B decays from Belle are reported. This study is done by a 78 fb$^{-1}$ data sample, consisting of $85.0 \pm 0.5$ million $B\bar{B}$ pairs, collected by the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric energy $e^+e^-$…
We report on the most recent experimental progress on $XYZ$ charmoniumlike meson states and their possible counterparts in the $s\overline{s}$ and $b\overline{b}$ systems.
The CDF experiment at the Tevatron p-pbar collider established that extensive and detailed exploration of the b-quark dynamics is possible in hadron collisions, with results competitive and supplementary to those from e+e- colliders. This…
