Characterization of the background spectrum in DAMIC at SNOLAB

A. Aguilar-Arevalo, D. Amidei, I. Arnquist +31

We construct the first comprehensive radioactive background model for a dark matter search with charge-coupled devices (CCDs). We leverage the well-characterized depth and energy r…

Global CP asymmetries in charmless three-body decays with final state interactions

Ignacio Bediaga, Tobias Frederico, Patricia C. Magalhaes +1

We propose a theoretical framework to understand the observable charge-parity (CP) violation in charmless three-body decays. The decay amplitudes put together the $ππ\to KK…

First branching fraction measurement of the suppressed decay

LHCb collaboration, R. Aaij, C. Abellán Beteta +963

The baryon is unstable and usually decays into charmless final states by the transition. It can, however, also disintegrate into a meson and a…
