Abstract:

The first full angular analysis and an updated measurement of the decay-rate CP asymmetry of the D^{0}→π^{+}π^{-}μ^{+}μ^{-} and D^{0}→K^{+}K^{-}μ^{+}μ^{-} decays are reported. The analysis uses proton-proton collision data collected with the LHCb detector at center-of-mass energies of 7, 8, and 13 TeV. The dataset corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 9  fb^{-1}. The full set of CP -averaged angular observables and their CP asymmetries are measured as a function of the dimuon invariant mass. The results are consistent with expectations from the standard model and with CP symmetry.

Study of the doubly charmed tetraquark [Formula: see text].

Nature communications 13:1 (2022) 3351

Abstract:

Quantum chromodynamics, the theory of the strong force, describes interactions of coloured quarks and gluons and the formation of hadronic matter. Conventional hadronic matter consists of baryons and mesons made of three quarks and quark-antiquark pairs, respectively. Particles with an alternative quark content are known as exotic states. Here a study is reported of an exotic narrow state in the D0D0π+ mass spectrum just below the D*+D0 mass threshold produced in proton-proton collisions collected with the LHCb detector at the Large Hadron Collider. The state is consistent with the ground isoscalar [Formula: see text] tetraquark with a quark content of [Formula: see text] and spin-parity quantum numbers JP = 1+. Study of the DD mass spectra disfavours interpretation of the resonance as the isovector state. The decay structure via intermediate off-shell D*+ mesons is consistent with the observed D0π+ mass distribution. To analyse the mass of the resonance and its coupling to the D*D system, a dedicated model is developed under the assumption of an isoscalar axial-vector [Formula: see text] state decaying to the D*D channel. Using this model, resonance parameters including the pole position, scattering length, effective range and compositeness are determined to reveal important information about the nature of the [Formula: see text] state. In addition, an unexpected dependence of the production rate on track multiplicity is observed.

CKM, mixing and CP violation results at LHCb

Particles and Nuclei International Conference 2021 (PANIC2021) Sissa Medialab (2022)

Abstract:

We review the most precise tests of the CKM model of flavour physics performed by the LHCb collaboration during 2021. These include world best measurements of both time-dependent and time-independent CP violation in charm decays, the first observation of a nonzero mass difference of the neutral charm-meson eigenstates, and the most precise determination to date of the mass difference between the B0s eigenstates. A new simultaneous combination of measurements of the CKM angle γ and of charm decays allows to improve the precision on the decay-width difference of the neutral charm-meson eigenstates by a factor of 2 with respect to the combination of charm results only.
