LHCb detects rare baryon decay

The LHCb collaboration at CERN has observed the ultra-rare decay of the Sigma-plus baryon into a proton and two muons, a process that could reveal physics beyond the Standard Model and help understand matter-antimatter asymmetry. This achievement was made possible by analyzing extensive data from proton-proton collisions and employing machine learning techniques, marking a significant milestone in particle physics research.

LHCb Probes Mysteries of Elusive Particle

The LHCb collaboration at CERN has made significant progress in understanding the χc1(3872) particle, a puzzling entity in particle physics. Using data from LHC Run 1 and Run 2, they found that the particle's decay ratios are inconsistent with a pure molecular hypothesis, suggesting it contains a compact component. This supports theories that χc1(3872) could be a conventional charmonium, a compact tetraquark, or a mixture of molecules with a compact core.
