We calculate the full set of BSM contributions to the inclusive non-leptonic $B$-meson lifetime from charmless final states within the framework of the Weak Effective Theory up to next-to-leading order in QCD and to leading power in the heavy-quark expansion. We do so by computing cut diagrams and the corresponding phase space integrals. This involves calculating current-current, penguin-penguin, penguin-dipole and dipole-dipole diagrams with two-, three- and four-particle cuts. We describe the technical difficulties of the computation. We then discuss how our results can be used to constrain new physics scenarios related to the anomalies observed in semi-leptonic and charmless non-leptonic decays.
We generalise the SoftSERVE framework for the automated computation of soft functions involving final-state heavy quarks in back-to-back kinematics up to next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) in the strong-coupling expansion. Our algorithm employs suitable phase-space parameterisations for both massive and mixed massles...

The Heavy Meson (Hymn) collaboration presents a new extraction of D meson fragmentation functions using experimental data from LEP and LHC. We focus particularly on kinematical regimes where perturbative QCD should be safely applicable to avoid contamination from higher-twist effects which could lead to an apparent pro...

The experimental observation of large CP violation in charm-meson hadronic decays remains theoretically unexplained within the Standard Model. The data-driven approach which accounts for the rescattering between the final-state pion and kaon pairs provides predictions that fall short of the experimental values. However...

Four-top production is one of the rarest processes of the Standard Model observable at the Large Hadron Collider, offering sensitivity to the top Yukawa coupling, Higgs width, and beyond-Standard-Model physics. We present precise predictions for the invariant-mass distribution and total cross section using threshold re...

We present a detailed NLO+PS study of Higgs-boson production in association with charm and bottom quarks, with particular focus on the modelling of the H+c final state. We systematically compare predictions in massive and massless flavour schemes, quantify scale and flavour-scheme uncertainties, and assess the impact o...

Flavour physics and CP violation play a key role for the testing of the Standard Model and search for New Physics at the high-precision frontier. After a compact discussion of the current status of (quark)-flavour physics, I will illustrate theoretical prospects for benchmark processes in the sector of decays of B meso...
