Abstract:
The Standard Model (SM) of particle physics has been remarkably successful in describing fundamental particles and their strong, weak, and electromagnetic interactions. To date, theoretical predictions of the SM remain largely consistent with experimental data across various energy scales. However, over the past two decades, with the continuous operation of experiments such as BaBar, Belle, and the LHC, the precision of flavor physics measurements has significantly improved. Consequently, a series of "flavor anomalies"—possible deviations from SM predictions—have emerged, e.g., Lepton Flavor Universality (LFU) ratio R_(D^((*)) )≡B(B→D^((*) ) τν)/B(B→D^((*) ) lν). Looking ahead, future experiments, including the ongoing Belle II and LHCb, as well as the proposed CEPC and FCC-ee, are expected to accumulate vast amounts of flavor physics data. In this talk, based on the framework of Effective Field Theory (EFT), I will discuss the implications of these precision flavor measurements for New Physics beyond the Standard Model.
Biography:
Xing-Bo Yuan is an Associate Professor at the College of Physical Science and Technology, Central China Normal University (CCNU). He completed his undergraduate studies at Zhengzhou University in 2008, and obtained his Ph.D. degree from CCNU in 2014. Subsequently, he worked as a postdoctoral researcher at Yonsei University, South Korea (2014–2016) and the “National Center for Theoretical Sciences”, Taiwan (2016–2018). Then, he joined CCNU in 2018. His research interests are heavy flavor physics and CP violation, especially the New Physical effects in flavor physics processes, and their relationship with high-energy collider processes (such as the production and decay of the Higgs boson) and various problems in cosmology (such as Dark Matter and Matter-antimatter Asymmetry).
