摘要

The Standard Model (SM) of particle physics succeeds in pre-dicting the vast majority of experimental high-energy data in terms of a minimal set of subatomic particles and their strong and electroweak interactions.However,while it is a self-consistent theory,the SM has many theoretical and empirical shortcomings 1.These suggest that the SM should be embedded into a richer framework with new particles and interactions becoming relevant at energies that could be as low as a tera-electronvolt(TeV).Discovering this new physics (NP) has become one of the major goals of the experiments currently gathering and analyzing data at CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC).One of these experi-ments,LHCb,might recently have struck gold.
