Abstract |
The LHCb experiment collected unprecedented samples of heavy flavoured hadrons from pp collisions. Precision measurements of CP-violating observables and studies of rare decays are providing the some of the strongest constraints on scenarios beyond the Standard Model and have excellent potential to reveal new physics as the precision is improved. Exciting deviations from the Standard Model have been seen in rare decays, which could indicate new couplings.
Beside these key measurements, LHCb results cover a wide physics spectrum: heavy flavour production and spectroscopy, exotic heavy flavour states, physics of the so-far little known Bc meson, electroweak physics, and more. A selection of recent LHCb results is presented, and prospects for future measurements with larger data samples, to be collected notably after the detector upgrade, are briefly discussed.
