Search for the lepton flavour violating decays B0→e±μ∓ and B0s→e±μ∓ with LHCb Run 2 data

Sebastian Schulte

A large variety of new physics models suggest that the rates for lepton flavour violating

b

-hadron decays may be much higher than predicted in the Standard Model, which leads to a high interest in the search for such decays. This thesis presents the se ...

Testing lepton flavour universality in $B^+\to K^+\pi^+\pi^-\ell^+\ell^-$ decays with LHCb

Sara Celani

This PhD thesis aims at testing one of the fundamental properties of the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics: the lepton flavour universality (LFU), which states that

W

and

Z

bosons are equally coupled to the three lepton generations. In this work, ...
