(PPD) W1-4 Flavour Physics & Beyond | La physique des saveurs et au-delà (PPD)
- Savino Longo (University of Manitoba)
Description
Flavour Physics & Beyond (PPD) – This year’s Particle Physics Division symposium will discuss “Flavour Physics and Beyond”. Join us for invited talks covering the landscape of flavour physics in Canada, and discover how we’re searching for hints of physics beyond the Standard Model.

The baryon asymmetry of the universe cannot be explained with the Standard Model. Furthermore, the SM also does not address why fermion masses are highly hierarchical. I will discuss a "flavon" model, which addresses both of these problems. I will also discuss collider and cosmological signals of such a flavor/baryogenesis model.

The Belle II experiment at the KEK laboratory has collected data at energies at and near the $\Upsilon(4S)$ resonance since 2019, with active Canadian participation in this project since 2013. The Belle II physics program spans a broad range of physics topics, including both heavy quark and lepton flavour, performing precision measurements of flavour observables, as well as high sensitivity...

The LHCb experiment at CERN is a single-arm forward spectrometer designed to study the production and decay of beauty and charm hadrons produced in Large Hadron Collider collisions. This talk will review some highlights of recent measurements by the LHCb collaboration. The experiment has recently undergone a major upgrade for Run 3 and Run 4 of LHC. This upgrade, and plans for a further...

We investigate the impact of Vector-Like Quarks (VLQs) on rare B-decay processes. Our approach involves careful examination of VLQ contributions in light of the most recent lower mass limit set by direct search data at LHC. By employing both symbolic and numerical computations, we compare our theoretical produce predictions in agreement with the latest Belle-II results, covering more than 3...
