EDITORS' SUGGESTION

New constraints on oscillation parameters from $ν_{e}$ appearance and $ν_{μ}$ disappearance in the NOvA experiment

M. A. Acero et al. (NOvA Collaboration)

Phys. Rev. D 98, 032012 (2018) - Published 24 August, 2018

The NOvA Collaboration presents new results on muon- to electron-neutrino oscillations leading to new constraints on neutrino oscillation parameters compatible with other experiments. The inverted mass hierarchy is disfavored by the new results.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Tests of the standard model in $B \to D ℓ ν_{ℓ}$ , $B \to D^{*} ℓ ν_{ℓ}$ and $B_{c} \to J / ψ ℓ ν_{ℓ}$

Thomas D. Cohen, Henry Lamm, and Richard F. Lebed

Phys. Rev. D 98, 034022 (2018) - Published 23 August, 2018

Prompted by the unresolved anomalies in semileptonic B meson decays, the authors construct observables sensitive to lepton universality violation. Starting from the fully differential decay rate, one can integrate with carefully chosen weight functions to produce ratios that are independent of hadronic form factors.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Measuring $C P$ violation in $b \to c τ^{-} {\bar{ν}}_{τ}$ using excited charm mesons

Daniel Aloni, Yuval Grossman, and Abner Soffer

Phys. Rev. D 98, 035022 (2018) - Published 16 August, 2018

Persistent anomalies in B decays may indicate the presence of new physics. If so, this new physics may generically induce non-Standard-Model CP violation. The authors construct a new CP-violating observable using interference between intermediate resonances that can be measured at high-luminosity B facilities like LHCb and Belle II.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Null tests from angular distributions in $D \to P_{1} P_{2} l^{+} l^{-}$ , $l = e$ , $μ$ decays on and off peak

Stefan de Boer and Gudrun Hiller

Phys. Rev. D 98, 035041 (2018) - Published 28 August, 2018

Rare decays of D mesons may provide insight into physics beyond the Standard Model, such as tests of CP violation, lepton flavor violation, and lepton universality. In this paper, the authors develop angular observables that can function as null-tests of the Standard Model based on GIM-cancellation and parity conservation.
