Abstract In $$ {\Lambda}_b^0\to {\Lambda}_c^{+}\left(\to {\Lambda}^0{\pi}^{+}\right){\tau}^{-}{\overline{v}}_{\tau } $$ Λ b 0 → Λ c + → Λ 0 π + τ − v ¯ τ decay, the solid angle of the final-state particle τ− cannot be determined precisely since the decay products of the τ− include an undetected ντ. Therefore, the angular distribution of this decay cannot be measured. In this work, we construct a measurable angular distribution by considering the subsequent decay τ−→ π−ντ. The full cascade decay is $$ {\Lambda}_b^0\to {\Lambda}_c^{+}\left(\to {\Lambda}^0{\pi}^{+}\right){\tau}^{-}\left(\to {\pi}^{-}{v}_{\tau}\right){\overline{v}}_{\tau } $$ Λ b 0 → Λ c + → Λ 0 π + τ − → π − v τ v ¯ τ . The three-momenta of the final-state particles Λ0, π+, and π− can be measured. Considering all Lorentz structures of the new physics (NP) effective operators and an unpolarized initial Λb state, the five-fold differential angular distribution can be expressed in terms of ten angular observables $$ {\mathcal{K}}_i\left({q}^2,{E}_{\pi}\right) $$ K i q 2 E π . By integrating over some of the five kinematic parameters, we define a number of observables, such as the Λc spin polarization $$ {P}_{\Lambda_c}\left({q}^2\right) $$ P Λ c q 2 and the forward-backward asymmetry of π− meson AFB(q2), both of which can be represented by the angular observables $$ {\hat{\mathcal{K}}}_i\left({q}^2\right) $$ K ̂ i q 2 . We provide numerical results for the entire set of the angular observables $$ {\hat{\mathcal{K}}}_i\left({q}^2\right) $$ K ̂ i q 2 and $$ {\hat{\mathcal{K}}}_i $$ K ̂ i both within the Standard Model and in some NP scenarios, which are a variety of best-fit solutions in seven different NP hypotheses. We find that the NP which can resolve the anomalies in $$ \overline{B}\to {D}^{\left(\ast \right)}{\tau}^{-}{\overline{v}}_{\tau } $$ B ¯ → D ∗ τ − v ¯ τ decays has obvious effects on the angular observables $$ {\hat{\mathcal{K}}}_i\left({q}^2\right) $$ K ̂ i q 2 , except $$ {\hat{\mathcal{K}}}_{1 ss}\left({q}^2\right) $$ K ̂ 1 ss q 2 and $$ {\hat{\mathcal{K}}}_{1 cc}\left({q}^2\right) $$ K ̂ 1 cc q 2 .

Abstract In $$ {B}_c^{-} $$ B c − → J/ψ(→ μ+μ−)τ−$$ {\overline{\nu}}_{\tau } $$ ν ¯ τ decay, the three-momentum $$ {\boldsymbol{p}}_{\tau^{-}} $$ p τ − cannot be determined accurately due to the decay products of τ− inevitably include an undetected ντ. As a consequence, the angular distribution of this decay cannot be measured. In this work, we construct a measurable angular distribution by considering the subsequent decay τ− → π−ντ. The full cascade decay is $$ {B}_c^{-} $$ B c − → J/ψ(→ μ+μ−)τ−(→ π−ντ)$$ {\overline{\nu}}_{\tau } $$ ν ¯ τ , in which the three-momenta $$ {\boldsymbol{p}}_{\mu^{+}},{\boldsymbol{p}}_{\mu^{-}} $$ p μ + , p μ − , and $$ {\boldsymbol{p}}_{\pi^{-}} $$ p π − can be measured. The five-fold differential angular distribution containing all Lorentz structures of the new physics (NP) effective operators can be written in terms of twelve angular observables ℐi(q2, Eπ). Integrating over the energy of pion Eπ, we construct twelve normalized angular observables $$ {\hat{\mathrm{\mathcal{I}}}}_i $$ ℐ ̂ i (q2) and two lepton-flavor-universality ratios $$ R\left({P}_{L,T}^{J/\psi}\right) $$ R P L , T J / ψ (q2). Based on the Bc → J/ψ form factors calculated by the latest lattice QCD and sum rule, we predict the q2 distribution of all $$ {\hat{\mathrm{\mathcal{I}}}}_i $$ ℐ ̂ i and $$ R\left({P}_{L,T}^{J/\psi}\right) $$ R P L , T J / ψ both within the Standard Model and in eight NP benchmark points. We find that the benchmark BP2 (corresponding to the hypothesis of tensor operator) has the greatest effect on all ℐi and $$ R\left({P}_{L,T}^{J/\psi}\right) $$ R P L , T J / ψ , except $$ {\hat{\mathrm{\mathcal{I}}}}_5 $$ ℐ ̂ 5 . The ratios $$ R\left({P}_{L,T}^{J/\psi}\right) $$ R P L , T J / ψ are more sensitive to the NP with pseudo-scalar operators than the ℐi. Finally, we discuss the symmetries in the angular observables and present a model-independent method to determine the existence of tensor operators.

We present a quasi-model-independent search for physics beyond the standard model. We define final states to be studied, and construct a rule that identifies a set of variables appropriate for any particular final state. A new algorithm ("Sleuth") searches for regions of excess in the space of those variables and quantifies the significance of any detected excess. After demonstrating the sensititvity of the method, we apply it to the semi-inclusive channel eμX collected in ≈108 pb -1 of [Formula: see text] collisions at [Formula: see text] at the DØ experiment at the Fermilab Tevatron. We find no evidence of new high pT physics in this sample.

CP violation in charm decays is expected to be very small in the Standard Model, at the level of 0.1% or less. A sizable excess of CP violation with respect to the Standard Model predictions could be a signature of new physics. We report on recent searches for CP violation in charm meson decays at BABAR and Belle experiments. In particular we report a lifetime ratio analysis of D0 → K+K−, π+π− with respect to D0 → K−π+ decays, which is sensitive to [Formula: see text] mixing and CP violation. We report also on searches for CPV in the 3-body D+ → K+K−π+ decay and for decay modes with a [Formula: see text] in the final state, such as [Formula: see text].

In this paper, we study CP violation in [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] decays, where B, P and V denote a light spin-½ baryon, pseudoscalar and a vector meson respectively. In these processes the T odd CP violating triple-product (TP) correlations are examined. The genuine CP violating observables which are composed of the helicity amplitudes occurring in the angular distribution are constructed. Experimentally, by performing a full angular analysis it is shown how one may extract the helicity amplitudes and then obtain the TP asymmetries. We estimate the TP asymmetries in [Formula: see text] decays to be negligible in the Standard Model making these processes an excellent place to look for new physics. Taking a two-Higgs doublet model, as an example of new physics, we show that large TP asymmetries are possible in these decays. Finally, we discuss how BES-III and super τ-charm experiments will be sensitive to these CP violating signals in [Formula: see text] decays.

The article is devoted to the searches for new particles predicted by physics beyond the Standard Model through the b-tagging algorithm. The dependence of b-tagging efficiency on the jet identification, impact parameter identification, secondary vertex identification, kinematic cuts is studied with the help of computer programs Pythia 8.2 and Fastjet 3.3.0. The selection criteria for kinematic parameters, their ratios for an optimal result on the reconstruction of the vertices of heavy particles are found.

We examine the possible unparticle effects on [Formula: see text] associated with [Formula: see text] decays by minimum-[Formula: see text] fitting. Recent measurements from Belle and LHCb are included in this analysis. While it is true that the new experimental results of [Formula: see text] get closer to the Standard Model (SM) predictions, there is still room for new physics and unparticles are also one possibility. Our best-fit values are [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], which are still far from the SM values by more than [Formula: see text] or almost [Formula: see text] [Formula: see text]. We also find that the unparticle effects are quite safe to render the branching ratio [Formula: see text] less than 10%.

In this paper we examine T-violating triple-product correlations (TP's) in B→V1V2 decays. TP's are excellent probes of physics beyond the standard model (SM) for two reasons: (i) within the SM, most TP's are expected to be tiny, and (ii) unlike direct CP asymmetries, TP's are not suppressed by the small strong phases which are expected in B decays. TP's are obtained via the angular analysis of B→V1V2. In a general analysis based on factorization, we demonstrate that the most promising decays for measuring TP's in the SM involve excited final-state vector mesons, and we provide estimates of such TP's. We find that there are only a handful of decays in which large TP's are possible, and the size of these TP's depends strongly on the size of nonfactorizable effects. We show that TP's which vanish in the SM can be very large in models with new physics. The measurement of a nonzero TP asymmetry in a decay where none is expected would specifically point to new physics involving large couplings to the right-handed b-quark.

In this paper, we consider the possibility that a new stage of matter stemming from hidden/dark sectors beyond the Standard Model, to be formed in p p collisions at the LHC (Large Hadron Collider), can significantly modify the correlations among final-state particles. In particular, two-particle azimuthal correlations are studied by means of a Fourier series sensitive to the near-side ridge effect while assuming that hidden/dark particles decay on top of the conventional parton shower. Then, new (fractional) harmonic terms should be included in the Fourier analysis of the azimuthal anisotropies, encoding the hypothetical new physics contribution and enabling its detection in a complementary way to other signatures.

Leptonic decays of B-mesons are theoretically very clean probes for testing the Standard Model (SM) and possible physics beyond it. Amongst the various leptonic decays of the B-meson, the pure dileptonic decay B → ℓ+ ℓ- is very important, as this mode is helicity suppressed in the SM but can be substantially enhanced in some of the models beyond the SM, such as supersymmetric (SUSY) theories and the two Higgs doublet model (2HDM). Although the purely dileptonic decay mode is helicity suppressed in the SM its associated mode B → ℓ+ ℓ-γ does not have the same suppression, due to the presence of γ in the final state. In this paper we will also analyze the effects of enhanced Z-penguins on these two decay modes.

A number of production cross sections for electron-positron annihilation to a hadronic final state have been measured using the Belle dataset, which is possible given the general purpose design of the Belle detector and its large solid-angle coverage. The cross section measurements predominantly fall above 3 GeV, which still leaves the opportunity for using the dataset to systematically measure cross sections below 3 GeV. These low-energy cross sections are important for improving the precision of the Standard Model prediction for the muon anomalous magnetic moment.
