Abstract

The study of rare decays of B, D and K mesons (as well as τ leptons) can provide either very stringent tests for the Standard Model or excellent opportunities to search for hints of new physics beyond the SM. A review of the recent results of studies of such rare decays from analysis of pp collision data recorded at the LHCb experiment at CERN, is presented. All decays channels studied so far are in agreement with SM predictions.

Highlights

  • The LHCb experiment [1] at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is focused on the study of b-quark hadrons to perform precision measurements of CP violating observables and rare decays that could unravel possible contributions from new physics (NP) beyond the Standard Model (SM)

  • With around 99% of operational readout channels and approximately a 95% of data taking efficiency, the LHCb experiment has been able to fully exploit the provided luminosity delivered by the LHC accelerator

  • The LHCb experiment is revealing itself as a fantastic experiment to look ar rare B, D and K meson decays that are very sensistive NP
