This paper reports world averages of measurements of $b$-hadron, $c$-hadron, and $\tau$-lepton properties obtained by the Heavy Flavour Averaging Group using results available before April 2021. In rare cases, significant results obtained several months later are also used. For the averaging, common input parameters used in the various analyses are adjusted (rescaled) to common values, and known correlations are taken into account. The averages include branching fractions, lifetimes, neutral meson mixing parameters, CP violation parameters, parameters of semileptonic decays, and Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix elements.

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    A systematic scan of all nine-link Yukawa textures shows the quark CP phase clusters at pi/8, pi/4, pi/2, 3pi/8, and yields precise, falsifiable predictions for the CKM unitarity triangle angles.

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    Belle-II's B→Kνν excess cannot be explained by dimension-7 lepton-number-violating SMEFT operators without fine-tuning neutrino masses, while a light sterile-neutrino extension can, with testable decay spectra.

    hep-ph 2025-11 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Observing vector boson fusion production of a heavy scalar followed by decay to Z h1 at muon colliders can establish CP violation in the scalar sector because it requires both h2VV and h2h1Z couplings to be nonzero.

  6. Toward a Comprehensive Exploration of Flavored Dark Matter Models

    A new public toolchain maps the allowed parameter space of flavored Majorana dark matter models under relic density, direct/indirect detection, LHC, and flavor constraints, finding severe limits from mu->e gamma in th...

    hep-ph 2025-09 conditional novelty 5.0

    The one-loop decay H±→W±γ is re-derived in the general Rξ gauge and used to predict that a 3 TeV muon collider could see a charged Higgs signal, though the conclusion reports only 2 sigma for several benchmarks.

    In the μνSSM, B→X_s l+l− is dominated by charged-Higgs C7 in the low-q² region and C9/C10 Z-penguins in the high-q² region, with the forward-backward asymmetry set by C7C10 and C9C10 interference.
