The limit for the B 0→μμμμ decay is 1.8x10 -10, the lowest limit ever achieved by LHCb. No evidence for the decays serched for in this analysis have been found, see a typical image above to the right showing no accumulation of events around the B s 0 or B 0 meson mass, and the corresponding limits have been set. In particular, these new particles could explain g-2 anomaly or flavour anomalies discussed often at this web page. These decays are very rare in the Standard Model of particle physics, however, new particles beyond the Standard Model may significantly enhance the decay rates. The 600 th paper reports the search for the B s 0 and B 0 meson decays into four muons. The whole procedure is supervised by the Editorial Board which introduces also necessary corrections before the paper is submitted to arXiv and to scientific journal at the same time.

Comments and suggestion are then included in the second draft, which also circulates within the collaboration, in order to view the paper after the changes were made to the first draft. In case of positive reaction the draft of the paper is then circulated within the collaboration. After approval by the RC authors present their results to the whole LHCb collaboration asking for a permission to write a paper. Once the results of the analysis are considered sufficiently mature, the Review Committee (RC) is nominated, which evaluates in detail all the different features of the analysis. The image below to the left shows the number of papers submitted by LHCb every year.Įvery step of data analysis is discussed within a corresponding physics working group. All LHCb papers are accessible on the arXiv and are published Open Access. The 500 th paper was submitted two years ago. The LHCb collaboration has submitted its 600 th publication! The first LHCb paper was submitted in August 2010, and since then 50 to 70 papers were submitted per year, about one every week. To get direct access to all LHCb published papers Ģ3 November 2021: Celebrating LHCb's 600 th publication.
