Interference between CKM-favored b --> c ubar d and doubly-CKM-suppressed bbar --> ubar c dbar amplitudes in final states used for B flavor tagging gives deviations from the standard time evolution assumed in CP-violation measurements at B…
Precision studies for top quark physics are a cornerstone of the Large Hadron Collider program. Polarization, probed through decay kinematics, provides a unique tool to scrutinize the top quark across its various production modes and to…
A search for the flavor-changing neutral-current decay $B^{+}\to K^{+}\nu\bar{\nu}$ is performed at the Belle II experiment at the SuperKEKB asymmetric energy electron-positron collider. The results are based on a data sample corresponding…
This contribution illustrates a new search for the flavor-changing neutral-current decay ${B^+ \to K^+ \nu \bar \nu}$ performed by the Belle II experiment at the SuperKEKB asymmetric-energy electron-positron collider. In this study, a…
The problem of indirect violation of discrete symmeties CP, T and CPT in a neutral meson system can be described using two complex parameters epsilon and delta, which are invariant under rephasing of meson and quark fields. For the Bd…
We present a preliminary measurement of the rate of gluon splitting into bottom quarks, g -> b bbar, in hadronic Z0 decays collected by SLD between 1996 and 1998. The analysis was performed by looking for secondary bottom production in…
We present a reanalysis of archived data from the ALEPH experiment at LEP in the $\mathrm{Z \to q\bar{q}}$ final state. We apply modern jet flavour tagging techniques to improve the separation between the different hadronic decay channels…
Hadrons containing b-quarks represent a great opportunity to investigate the flavor sector of the Standard Model (SM) and to look for New Physics effects (NP). In this report we review the most up-to-date results on b-hadron decay rates and…
The neutral $B$ mesons, $B^0$ and $B_s$, can oscillate between their particle and antiparticle states owing to flavor-changing weak interactions. In recent years, techniques to detect these oscillations as a function of the meson's decay…
Jet flavour tagging is crucial in experimental high-energy physics. A tagging algorithm, DeepJetTransformer, is presented, which exploits a transformer-based neural network that is substantially faster to train than state-of-the-art graph…
Ratios of production fractions of $b$ hadrons are a dominant source of uncertainty in many LHC analyses, in particular in measurements with $B_s$ mesons. The currently used value for $f_s/f_d$ is based on a combination of hadronic and…
We present a comparison of the strong couplings of light ($u$,~$d$,~and~$s$), $c$, and $b$ quarks determined from multijet rates in flavor-tagged samples of hadronic $Z^0$ decays recorded with the SLC Large Detector at the SLAC Linear…
We present nonperturbative fragmentation functions (FFs) for bottom-flavored ($B$) hadrons both at next-to-leading (NLO) and, for the first time, at next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) in the $\overline{\mathrm{MS}}$ factorization scheme…
Tag-side reconstruction is an important method for reconstructing $B$ meson decays with missing energy. The Belle II tag-side reconstruction algorithm, Full Event Interpretation, relies on a hierarchical reconstruction of $B$ meson decays…
Precision measurements of b-hadron lifetimes are a key goal of the LHCb experiment. In the B_s sector, the measurement of the effective lifetimes for B_s mesons decaying to CP-odd, CP-even and flavor specific final states are essential for…
We search for the rare flavor-changing neutral-current decay $B^+ \to K^+ \nu \bar{\nu}$ in a data sample of 82 fb$^{-1}$ collected with the {\sl BABAR} detector at the PEP-II B-factory. Signal events are selected by examining the…
Identification of hadronic jets originating from heavy-flavor quarks is extremely important to several physics analyses in High Energy Physics, such as studies of the properties of the top quark and the Higgs boson, and searches for new…
This paper describes a method for detecting a rare top quark decay into a charm quark and a Higgs boson (H), which decays further into b quarks, at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), and introduces a tagging algorithm to identify boosted tops…
Both CDF and D{\O}experiments have been searching for evidence of physics beyond the standard model (SM) using the Tevatron $p\bar{p}$ collider at Fermilab. We report on recent searches in the $B$ flavor sector, especially decays via flavor…
At the back of succeeding measurements of anomalies in semileptonic decays at LHCb and several collider experiments hinting at the possible violation of lepton flavor universality, we undertake a concise review of theoretical foundations of…
