Improved theory predictions and global analysis of exclusive b → sμ + μ − processes
We provide improved Standard Model theory predictions for the exclusive rare semimuonic processes B → K (*) μ + μ − and B s → ϕμ + μ − . Our results are based on a novel parametrization of the non-local form factors, which manifestly respects a recently ...

On bottom mixing with exotic quarks [PDF]
In this paper we present a calculation of the effects of bottom mixing with new exotic quarks in the forward-backward and left-right asymmetries, the bottom branching ratio and the QCD coupling constant. A global fit with the recent data on these quantities is done and stringent bounds are obtained.

Complete analysis on QED corrections to B q → τ + τ −
Motivated by a dynamical enhancement of the electromagnetic corrections by a power of ΛQCD/m b in B d,s → μ + μ − at next-to-leading order (NLO), we extend the QED factorization effects on the leptonic B meson decays with light muon leptons to tauonic ...

Heavy quarks and charmonium at RHIC and LHC within a partonic transport model [PDF]
Heavy quark and charmonium production as well as their space-time evolution are studied in transport simulations of heavy-ion collisions at RHIC and LHC.

Excited bottom and bottom-strange mesons in the quark model [PDF]
In order to understand the possible $q\bar{q}$ quark-model assignments of the $B_J(5840)$ and $B_J(5960)$ recently reported by the LHCb Collaboration, we evaluate mass spectra, strong decays, and radiative decays of bottom and bottom-strange mesons in a nonrelativistic quark model.

2b or not 2b: on the rejection of g → b b ¯ $$ b\overline{b} $$ jets
Motivated by new physics models which lead to final states containing a high multiplicity of bottom and top quarks, we develop a tagging strategy to suppress reducible and non-reducible multi-jet backgrounds. The idea takes advantage of the properties of

Threshold corrections to the bottom quark mass revisited [PDF]
Threshold corrections to the bottom quark mass are often estimated under the approximation that tan$β$ enhanced contributions are the most dominant. In this work we revisit this common approximation made to the estimation of the supersymmetric threshold corrections to the bottom quark mass.

Observability of Higgs produced with top quarks and decaying to bottom quarks
The decay, H → bb, is dominant for a Standard Model Higgs boson in the mass range just above the exclusion limit of 114.4 GeV/c 2 reported by the LEP experiments. Unfortunately, an overwhelming abundance of b¯ b events arising from more mundane sources, together with the lack of precision inherent in the reconstruction of the Higgs mass, renders this ...
