Abstract

The LHCb experiment is expanding its physics program towards studies of rare decays of strange particles. In this talk, we reviewed the published results by LHCb in Ks0→μ+μ-and Σ+→pμ+μ- decays, as well as sensitivity studies and prospects for other strangeness decays.

Highlights

  • The Standard Model (SM) of particle physics is very successful at describing accelerator data, but it is known to be incomplete as it fails to explain gravity, dark matter, or neutrino masses

  • Direct searches at LHC are limited to few TeV by the maximum energy of the accelerator, while precise measurements of flavour decays can a priori access higher energy scales

  • This is true for models with new sources of flavour violation, in which the CKM matrix is not the only source of flavour and CP violation

Summary

Introduction

The Standard Model (SM) of particle physics is very successful at describing accelerator data, but it is known to be incomplete as it fails to explain gravity, dark matter, or neutrino masses. For this reason, dynamics Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) is being searched for. Direct searches at LHC are limited to few TeV by the maximum energy of the accelerator, while precise measurements of flavour decays can a priori access higher energy scales This is true for models with new sources of flavour violation, in which the CKM matrix is not the only source of flavour and CP violation. We review the status and prospects for strangeness decays at the LHCb
