PMC Physics A publishes first review article
PMC Physics A is proud to announce the publication of its first review article. The review, entitled "B meson decays" was written by Elisabetta Barberio of the University of Melbourne and Marina Artuso & Sheldon Stone of Syracuse University, New York.
They discuss the most important physics thus far extracted from studies of B meson decays. Measurements of the four CP violating angles accessible in B decay are reviewed as well as direct CP violation. A detailed discussion of the measurements of the CKM elements Vcb and Vub from semileptonic decays is given, and the differences between resulting values using inclusive decays versus exclusive decays is discussed.
Measurements of rare decays are also reviewed.
They point out where CP violating and rare decays could lead to observations of physics beyond that of the Standard Model in future experiments. If such physics is found by directly observation of new particles, e.g. in LHC experiments, B decays can play a decisive role in interpreting the nature of these particles.
We hope you enjoy the review and look forward to receiving your proposals for future reviews at pmcphysa@physmathcentral.com
