Phenomenology of B-meson semileptonic inclusive decays: from the Standard Model to the New Physics

Obiettivo

Semileptonic B-meson decays proceeding via bc and bu transitions are processes widely studied in the Standard Model (SM) of Particle Physics. Measurements from B factories and the LHC have been used to determine |Vcb| and |Vub|, two of the elements of the CabibboKobayashiMaskawa matrix and, as such, crucial input parameters of the SM. There is a long-standing tension affecting both |Vcb| and |Vub| determinations from inclusive and exclusive decays and significant hints of lepton flavour universality violation in semileptonic B meson decays with tau leptons in the final state and rare decays mediated by the bs transition. Their possible origin from New Physics (NP) beyond the SM has been broadly scrutinized in the context of exclusive decays. However inclusive B meson decays have never been used as competitive probes of NP. In this project we will establish the theoretical foundation for the study of non-standard interactions in inclusive semileptonic decays driven by bc and bu transitions. We will perform a comprehensive model-independent analysis of the constraints on NP from this class of decays, including for the first time all available data on kinematic differential distributions. We will investigate the implications for viable scenarios of physics beyond the SM and present their interplay with the exclusive modes. Disentangling low-energy non-perturbative effects from NP effects is challenging and requires addressing new issues, making the proposed action interdisciplinary and innovative. The researcher Matteo Fael has a broad experience in the theory and phenomenology of inclusive B-meson decays while the supervisor Gian Francesco Giudice is a world-class expert in flavour and collider phenomenology, development of NP models and study of their implications for particle physics and cosmology.
