Abstract:
The observed baryon asymmetry of the universe is one of the biggest unresolved questions in fundamental physics. Within the Standard Model of particle physics, matter-antimatter (CP) asymmetries in the quark sector are encoded by the imaginary parameter of the Cabibbo–Kobayashi–Maskawa matrix. Despite the tremendous experimental success of the CKM mechanism in describing quark mixing, its CP asymmetry is around ten orders of magnitude too small to explain the observed baryon asymmetry. The LHCb experiment at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider is one of the most sensitive instruments for seeking CP asymmetry sources beyond the Standard Model, with unparalleled reach for baryonic matter and hadrons containing charm quarks in particular. In this talk I will give an overview of LHCb’s latest CP asymmetry measurements and discuss the prospects of a second upgrade of the LHCb detector as an ultimate heavy flavour experiment specialised in searching for beyond Standard Model CP asymmetry sources.
