1 CP violation in Bd,s → l + l −

The FCNC process B d,s → ll has been shown in recent years to be a powerful process to shed light on new physics beyond SM [1,2,3,4,5] especially for SUSY models which may enhance the decay amplitude by tan β [1,6,2,3], provided that tanβ is large (say, ≥ 20). It became more interesting recently after the Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) reported the 2σ excess of the muon anomalous magnetic...

Extracting γ from Bs(d) → J/ψ KS and Bd(s) → D + − d(s) Dd(s)

A completely general parametrization of the time-dependent decay rates of the modes B s → J/ψ K S and B d → J/ψ K S is given, which are related to each other through the U-spin flavour symmetry of strong interactions. Owing to the interference of current–current and penguin processes, the B s → J/ψ K S observables probe the angle γ of the unitarity triangle. Using the U-spin symmetry, the overa...

The COPD Pipeline XXXII.

COPD accounts for approximately 26 million prescriptions per year in the United States. According to an analysis by Novartis R&D, the U.S. market for COPD drugs was running at $11.8 billion in 2012, 70% of that fi gure being almost equally divided between a LAMA, namely tiotropium, and the 2 ICS/LABA combinations. Th eir estimate is that the COPD drug market will increase by 24.4% to $14.8 bill...
