How many articles close flavour physics convey yous published inwards the Grauniad? Well, it turns out that Dr Allanach as well as You convey written the essay
Anomalous bottoms at CERN as well as the illustration for a novel colliderin which they derive an appealing interpretation from an anomaly seen past times the LHCb Collaboration. As I discussed inwards March as well as April, the LHCb detector insists on a deficit of \(B\) mesons decaying to \(K^* \mu^+\mu^-\). My previous texts are somewhat technical, Allanach as well as You are a flake less technical, as well as Futurism.com is arguably fifty-fifty to a greater extent than popular.
As Allanach as well as You set it, if yous construct 16,000 LHC colliders, yous non alone pay $160 trillion exactly yous too teach around ane collider inwards which the understanding alongside the Standard Model inwards this unmarried quantity is equally bad equally this actual unmarried LHC collider of ours genuinely shows (or worse). When I mentioned the money, I can't resist to yell that the money that volition evaporate when the Bitcoin bubble bursts are plenty for a dozen of LHC colliders – as well as fifty-fifty to a greater extent than if in that place volition last additional increment earlier it bursts. ;-)
OK, there's some 4-sigma deficit.
Well, why did they write this text three days agone as well as non inwards March as well as Apr equally this blog? It's because they too promote their 2-week-old hep-ph preprint (with Gripaios)
The Case for Future Hadron Colliders From \(B \to K^{(*)} \mu^+ \mu^-\) DecaysWhat hit they conclude?
They report ii most obvious explanations for the anomaly they tin mean value of – assuming that the departure is to a greater extent than than a random fluke or bad luck: the new, \(Z'\)-bosons like to the \(Z\)-boson exactly heavier; as well as leptoquarks, novel uncomplicated particles whose quantum numbers coincide alongside a saltation nation of a lepton as well as a quark.
In their paper, some of the parameter infinite is covered past times luminosity-upgraded LHC. For another pieces of the parameter space, they desire yous to upgrade the LHC to \(33\TeV\), a to a greater extent than than doubled energy. But they genuinely desire yous to pay for a \(100\TeV\) collider such equally the FCC-\(hh\) which would last nice. You genuinely withdraw to create the \(Z'\)-bosons or leptoquarks straight to know who is reponsible for the deviation.
How hit the LHC girls empathize the bottom quark? It's the 4th number of its form that they sense alongside a boy. I promise no ane misinterprets this comment equally sexist; it's supposed to last sexual. ;-)
In the Guardian, Allanach as well as You tell that the province of affairs could last analogous to the twelvemonth 2011 when some hints began to emerge that the quasi-light Higgs boson existed exactly earlier it was discovered. Well, maybe. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 big difference is that the Higgs boson had to be – because of venture arguments needed for our theories (explaining well-established of import particle physics phenomena) to last consistent. So far fishy LHCb deviations are the alone reasons to believe that \(Z'\)-bosons or leptoquarks should exist.
But if yous convey spare $50 billion or a few meg Bitcoins (hello, Satoshi) for a novel collider, yous tin purpose the donation buttons inwards the correct column. If I had to pay it purely because of this LHCb anomaly, I would at to the lowest degree expression whether the departure equally the number of touchstone deviations volition grow when the information is doubled afterward 2017. But mayhap they already know that it volition grow – the papers aren't out yet, I think.
