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

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 ...

Search for Heavy Neutral Leptons with LHCb

Serhii Cholak

This thesis presents a search for a beyond the Standard Model (SM) heavy neutral lepton (HNL), which does not interact via any of the SM interactions. This hypothetical particle has been proposed by multiple theories as an extension to the SM, and it could ...

Search for new physics in the τ lepton plus missing transverse momentum final state in proton-proton collisions at √s=13 TeV

Matthias Finger, Konstantin Androsov, Qian Wang, Jan Steggemann, Yiming Li, Anna Mascellani, Varun Sharma, Xin Chen, Rakesh Chawla, Matteo Galli

A search for physics beyond the standard model (SM) in the final state with a hadronically decaying tau lepton and a neutrino is presented. This analysis is based on data recorded by the CMS experiment from proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass ener ...

Model-independent measurement of charm mixing parameters in D0 -> K0S pi+ pi- decays

Surapat Ek-In

This thesis presents a measurement of charm mixing and CP-violation parameters using D0 -> K0S pi+ pi- decays. These mixing parameters include the mass and decay-width differences of the mass eigenstates of the D0-D0bar system. A search for Charge-Parity v ...

Search for lepton flavour violation in B meson decays at LHCb

Lino Ferreira Lopes

The current limitations of the standard model of elementary particle physics drive the search for phenomenons forbidden within that framework with the goal to unveil a more universal theory. This thesis presents the search for two lepton flavour violating ...

Search for singly and pair-produced leptoquarks coupling to third-generation fermions in proton-proton collisions at root s=13 TeV

Matthias Finger, Jan Steggemann, Qian Wang, Yiming Li, Varun Sharma, Konstantin Androsov, Xin Chen, Arvind Shah, Rakesh Chawla, Jian Wang

A search for leptoquarks produced singly and in pairs in proton-proton collisions is presented. We consider the leptoquark (LQ) to be a scalar particle of charge -1/3e coupling to a top quark plus a tau lepton (t tau) or a bottom quark plus a neutrino (b n ...

Search for long-lived particles decaying to e(+/-)mu(-/+)nu

Lesya Shchutska, Olivier Schneider, Aurelio Bay, Yiming Li, Guido Haefeli, Frédéric Blanc, Christoph Frei, Tatsuya Nakada, Michel De Cian, Elena Graverini

Long-lived particles decaying to e(+/-) mu(-/+)nu, with masses between 7 and 50 GeV/c(2) and lifetimes between 2 and 50 ps, are searched for by looking at displaced vertices containing electrons and muons of opposite charges. The search is performed using ...

MeV-scale seesaw and leptogenesis

Marco Drewes, Valerie Fiona Domcke, Michele Lucente

We study the type-I seesaw model with three right-handed neutrinos and Majorana masses below the pion mass. In this mass range, the model parameter space is not only strongly constrained by the requirement to explain the light neutrino masses, but also by ...

Measurement of R(D) and R(D*) with a Semileptonic Tagging Method

Olivier Schneider, Yiming Li, Mingkui Wang, Chao Wang, Tagir Aushev, Sun Hee Kim, Donghyun Kim, Xiao Wang, Lei Li

The experimental results on the ratios of branching fractions R(D) = B((B) over bar -> D tau(-)(nu) over bar (tau))/B((B) over bar -> Dl(-)(nu) over bar (e)) and R(D*) = B((B) over bar -> Dtau(-)(nu) over bar (tau))/B((B) over bar -> Dtau(-)(nu) over bar ...
