Test of Lepton Flavor Universality with B⁰ₛ → ϕℓ⁺ ℓ⁻ Decays

Lepton flavor universality in rare b→s transitions is tested for the first time using Bs0 meson decays. The measurements are performed using pp collision data collected by the LHCb experiment between 2011 and 2018, corresponding to a total integrated luminosity of 9 fb-1. Branching fraction ratios between the Bs0→φe+e- and Bs0→φμ+μ- decays are measured in three regions of dilepton mass squared, q2, with 0.1<1.1, 1.1<6.0, and 15<19 GeV2/c4. The results agree with the standard model ex...

A polarized FGF8 source specifies frontotemporal signatures in spatially oriented cell populations of cortical assembloids

Organoids generating major cortical cell types in distinct compartments are used to study cortical development, evolution and disorders. However, the lack of morphogen gradients imparting cortical positional information and topography in current systems hinders the investigation of complex phenotypes. Here, we engineer human cortical assembloids by fusing an organizer-like structure expressing fibroblast growth factor 8 (FGF8) with an elongated organoid to enable the controlled modulation of ...

Study of Λb0 and Ξb0 Decays to Λh+h′− and Evidence for CP Λb0→ΛK+K− Decays

A study of Λb0 and Ξb0 decays to Λh+h′- (h(′)=π,K) is performed using pp collision data collected by the LHCb experiment during LHC Runs 1-2, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9 fb-1. The branching fractions for these decays are measured using the Λb0→Λc+(→Λπ+)π- decay as a control channel. The decays Λb0→Λπ+π- and Ξb0→ΛK-π+ are observed for the first time. For decay modes with sufficient signal yields, CP asymmetries are measured in the full and localized regions of the final-stat...
