abstract

In this article, we review the current status of $B$-mixing and $b$-hadron lifetimes both from experimental and theoretical points of view. Furthermore, we discuss the phenomenological potential of these observables for deepening our understanding of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) and for indirect searches for effects beyond the Standard Model (SM). In addition, we present new updated SM predictions for the mixing observables $\Delta M_{d,s}$, $\Delta \Gamma_{d,s}$ and $a_{fs}^{d,s}$. We conclude with an outlook on future prospects for theoretical and experimental improvements.

Predictions for $b$-baryon lifetimes at NNLO-QCD

hep-ph · 2026-07-07 · accept · novelty 6.0

NNLO-QCD corrections to the free b-quark decay and NLO corrections to dimension-five operators reduce uncertainties in HQE predictions for b-baryon lifetimes, yielding excellent agreement with experiment.
