Dr. María Vieites Díaz from CERN visits IFIC from 20th to 21st November 2023
María Vieites earned her PhD in 2019 at Universidade de Santiago de Compostela, where she specialised on the amplitude analysis of Charmless B decays to light vector mesons within the LHCb experiment. Her research focused on a detailed study of CP violation effects in these decay modes. Subsequently, she joined the LHCb group at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), where she contributed to the analysis of Radiative B decays targeting a measurement of the photon polarisation and to the offline alignment of the SciFi tracker of LHCb. She is currently a CERN Research Fellow and remains involved on the study of b->sgamma transitions, as well as implicated with the LHCb commissioning activities for Run3, with the early measurements program. She will present an overview of the so-called flavour anomalies, with a particular focus on Flavour Changing Neutral Currents and LHCb's strategies to enhance our understanding of these phenomena in the future.
At the IFIC seminar on November 21st at 12h (Europe/Madrid), María will be talking about: Status of the “LHCb flavour anomalies”. More information about her talk can be found here: https://indico.ific.uv.es/event/7273/
Her office number at IFIC is 1-2-3
