Today LHCb presented a new measurement of the decay of a B meson into a K* and a μ+ μ- pair

Previous results disagreed with the Standard Model prediction for the branching fraction and angular distribution

The new measurement has almost twice as much data and still disagrees!

It looks like the only difference with 2024 is that data taking started later in the year, do you know why that is?

New Physics in inclusive semileptonic $B$ decays We study inclusive semileptonic $\bar{B}\to X_c \ell \barν$ decays ($\ell = e,μ$) in the presence of generic physics Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) that is heavy compared to the $b$-quark mass. Its e...

New paper is out! With G. Finauri, P. Gambino, M. Jung and S. Mächler we performed a first-of-its-kind test of New Physics in inclusive B->Xclv decays. This work is crucial to understand whether or not the Vcb puzzle originates from beyond the Standard Model effects! arxiv.org/abs/2507.22123

Cat or Particle Physics Experiment Do you know whether it's the name of the cat shown or of a particle physics experiment? Quiz made by William Barter, using cat photos provided by colleagues in the University of Edinburgh PPE group.

Is it the name of a cat or the name of a particle physics experiment?
