New physics searches using b->sll transitions at LHCb

by Dr. Konstantinos Petridis (University of Bristol)

Wednesday 19 October 2016 from 15:30 to 16:30 (UTC)
at Oliver Lodge Laboratory ( 1-3-337 - 337 Seminar Room )
Description
Flavour changing neutral current (FCNC) processes are highly suppressed in the Standard Model (SM), therefore allowing contributions from beyond the SM processes to significantly modify experimental observables. Rare b to s FCNC transitions, such as B->K(*)mumu, provide a wide range of observables highly sensitive to new physics effects. Recent LHCb measurements on such decays have revealed tensions with the SM predictions. This talk will present LHCb's latest measurements in such decays.
