LHCb finds evidence for a one-in-10-billion B-meson decay

LHCb finds evidence for a one-in-10-billion B-meson decay

The Brief

  • The LHCb collaboration reports evidence for a B-meson decay with a branching fraction of about one in ten billion.
  • The measurement is reported by Physics World and is said to put constraints on physics beyond the Standard Model.

Why it matters

Very rare decays are sensitive probes of new particles or forces that could appear in quantum loop effects, so tight measurements constrain beyond-Standard-Model theories.
