Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)
'The Standard Model of particle physics is incomplete. It fails to address such fundamental questions as the baryon asymmetry of the universe (i.e. our own existence), dark matter and dark energy, and gravity; it has too many free parameters, and suffers from self-consistency problems (the fine-tuning and hierarchy problem). Nearly all alternatives to the Standard Model that address these problems predict the existence of new, heavy particles.
Flavour physics is sensitive to quantum loops that can be affected by new particles with masses even beyond those that can be directly produced at the highest-energy colliders - it allows us to see beyond the energy frontier. This makes it highly sensitive to physics beyond the Standard Model The observed size of the matter-antimatter asymmetry of the universe proves that additional, undiscovered sources of charge-parity (CP) violation must exist. CP violation measurements, which are the domain of flavour physics, hold therefore particular promise in the search this 'New Physics'.
We will use powerful new techniques and the unprecedented datasets of LHCb to extract some of the most important, and currently most poorly constrained CP violation parameters. We will collaborate across several international collaborations to further improve our measurements. We will reach new levels of precision that will dramatically increase the New Physics reach of the entire flavour physics approach.'
