A comprehensive overview of kaon decays is presented. The standard model predictions
are discussed in detail, covering both the underlying short-distance electroweak dynamics …

In the past decade, one of the major challenges of particle physics has been to gain an in-
depth understanding of the role of quark flavor. In this time frame, measurements and the …

The inspiration for this book came from François le Diberder. During his term as
spokesperson for B 八 B 八 R he laid down a vision for the two B Factory detector …

A bstract We present an analysis of the rare exclusive B decays\(B\to K\nu\overline {\nu}\)
and\(B\to {K}^{\ast}\nu\overline {\nu}\) within the Standard Model (SM), in a model …

We describe recent extensions of the program SPhenoincluding flavour aspects, CP-
phases, R-parity violation and low energy observables. In case of flavour mixing all masses …

A bstract The first 1 fb− 1 of LHC searches have set impressive limits on new colored
particles decaying to missing energy. We address the implication of these searches for …

This new edition of The Standard Model and Beyond presents an advanced introduction to
the physics and formalism of the standard model and other non-abelian gauge theories. It …

During 2011 the LHCb experiment at CERN collected 1.0 fb− 1 of s=7~TeV pp collisions.
Due to the large heavy quark production cross-sections, these data provide unprecedented …

We develop a systematic framework for exclusive rare B decays of the type B→ K (∗) l+ l− at
large dilepton invariant mass q 2. It is based on an operator product expansion (OPE) for the …

Using the heavy quark effective theory framework put forward by Grinstein and Pirjol we
work out predictions for\(\bar {B}\to {\bar {K}^*}{l^{+}}{l^{-}}\), l= e, μ, decays for a softly …
