Challenging the Standard Model with LHCb data
Johannes Albrecht (TU Dortmund)
Seminar room 3, 15:00
Since the LHC startup in 2009, the LHCb experiment at CERN has recorded the world's largest sample of beauty mesons. Rare leptonic and semi-leptonic beauty decays are excellent probes for yet unknown heavy particles. Measurements of decay rates and angular distributions of these processes can be used to test the Standard Model of particle physics with unprecedented sensitivity. Recent measurements of the LHCb collaboration in these decay modes are presented. The existing anomalies in todays flavour data are discussed, including potential interpretations of the results as first cracks in the Standard Model.
