Several experimental measurements of $b$-decays have suggested the presence of physics beyond the Standard Model (BSM). One set of such measurements are the decay modes $B\to D^{*+}\ell^- \bar{\nu}$ with $\ell = e, \mu,$ and $\tau$. A recent analysis of 2019 Belle data found $\Delta A_{FB} = A_{FB}(B\to D^{*} \mu\nu) - A_{FB} (B\to D^{*} e \nu)$ to be $4.1\sigma$ away from the SM prediction....
Semileptonic flavor changing neutral current transitions with a pair of neutrinos in the final state are very accurately determined in the standard model. The most recent Belle II result on $B\to K \nu \bar\nu$ uses an innovative inclusive tagging technique; this together with previous BaBar and Belle results indicates a possible enhancement in the branching fraction of $B\to K \nu \bar\nu$ ....
Various theories beyond the Standard Model predict new, long-lived particles with unique signatures which are difficult to reconstruct and for which estimating the background rates is also a challenge. Signatures from displaced and/or delayed decays anywhere from the inner detector to the muon spectrometer, as well as those of new particles with fractional or multiple values of the charge of...
Run 2 of the LHC has witnessed the observation of many rare top quark production processes predicted by the Standard Model and has boosted searches for flavour- changing-neutral-current interactions of the top quark, that are heavily suppressed in the SM. In this contribution the highlights are shown of searches by the ATLAS experiment for rare processes involving top quarks. Results are...
The latest results of searches for supersymmetry in hadronic final states with the CMS experiment will be presented. The analyses are based on the full dataset of proton-proton collisions collected during the Run 2 of the LHC at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV.
We present results from searches for resonances with enhanced couplings to third generation quarks, based on proton-proton collision data at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV recorded by CMS. The signatures include single and pair production of vector-like quarks and heavy resonances decaying to third generation quarks. A wide range of final states, from multi-leptonic to entirely hadronic is...
