Exploring the potential of FCC-hh to search for particles from B mesons

Lesya Shchutska, Alexey Boyarsky

The Future Circular Collider (FCC-hh) is a proposed successor of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). FCC-hh would push both the energy and intensity frontiers of searches for new physics particles. In particular, due to higher energy and luminosity than at th ...

First indication of the Lambda-b baryon decay to a charmless baryonic final state

Vladimir Macko

The Standard Model of particle physics provides predictions of many fundamental processes. One of them is the existence of charmless processes involving only baryons, namely charmless purely baryonic decays of baryons. Yet none of these decay modes has bee ...
