At CERN, we probe the fundamental structure of particles that make up everything around us. We do so using the world's largest and most complex scientific instruments.

Using LHC Run 2 data, CMS has precisely measured the rare decay of strange B-mesons to muon-antimuon pairs. While its properties agree with Standard Model predictions, it may provide clues to new discoveries in Run 3
Landing Page
The CMS and LHCb experiments at the LHC have observed a very rare decay. An important milestone in the search for hints of new physics
LHCb has a new result on the probability that beauty mesons oscillate into their antimatter counterparts and vice versa
The LHCb experiment has presented the results of a study of strange beauty meson B0s decay into an anti-charm meson D0, a K- meson and a π+ meson
New results from LHCb suggest that B+mesons decay to muons about 25% less often than they decay to electrons
When you've got a discrepancy in the data, it might be time for theory and experiment to collaborate
The LHCb Collaboration has just published an important precise measurement of the Λb beauty baryon lifetime
Conception of the LHC experiments took many years, this year three of them celebrate their 20th anniversaries
The LHCb collaboration has just submitted for publication a paper outlining the first observation of CP violation in the decays of B0s meson
The LHCb collaboration has recently observed matter-antimatter asymmetries in the decays of the B<sup>0</sup><sub>s</sub> meson
