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, ...

Measurement of the B+ -> rho0 mu+ nu differential branching fraction

Veronica Sølund Kirsebom

The tension between different determinations of the CKM matrix element Vub using measurements of either exclusive or inclusive semileptonic decays represents a long-standing puzzle in flavour physics. To resolve this, measurements of new exclusive channels ...

Exact quantum conformal symmetry, its spontaneous breakdown, and gravitational Weyl anomaly

Mikhail Chapochnikov, Anna Tokareva

The classical Lagrangian of the Standard Model enjoys the symmetry of the full conformal group if the mass of the Higgs boson is put to zero. This is a hint that conformal symmetry may play a fundamental role in the ultimate theory describing nature. The o ...

Universality of loop corrected soft theorems in 4d

Biswajit Sahoo

In [1], logarithmic correction to subleading soft photon and soft graviton theorems have been derived in four spacetime dimensions from the ratio of IR-finite S-matrices. This has been achieved after factoring out IR-divergent components from the tradition ...

Energy correlators of hadronically decaying electroweak bosons

Lorenzo Ricci, Marc Riembau Saperas

Energy correlators are field-theoretically clean and phenomenologically valuable probes of QCD dynamics. We explore the possibility of using the information encoded in the energy correlators of a hadronically decaying electroweak vector boson in order to e ...

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 ...

Outer automorphism anomalies

Brian Quinn Henning

We discuss anomalies associated with outer automorphisms in gauge theories based on classical groups, namely charge conjugations for SU(N) and parities for SO(2r). We emphasize the inequivalence (yet related by a flavor transformation) between two versions ...

Magnetogenesis in Higgs-Starobinsky inflation

Oleksandr Sobol

In the framework of mixed Higgs-Starobinsky inflation, we consider the generation of Abelian gauge fields due to their nonminimal coupling to gravity (in two different formulations of gravity-metric and Palatini). We couple the gauge-field invariants F mu ...

The nature of X(3872) from high-multiplicity pp collisions

Angelo Esposito

The structure of exotic resonances that do not trivially fit the usual quark model expectations has been a matter of intense scientific debate during the last two decades. A possible way of estimating the size of these states is to study their behavior whe ...
