The Milano group is involved in several research topics

• Indirect CP asymmetries in D⁰ → K^– K⁺ and D⁰ → π⁻ π⁺  decays using semileptonic B decays. More recently, we have led the analysis of the decays Λ_b⁰ → p π⁺ π^– π⁺ and Λ_b⁰ → K⁻ μ⁺ μ⁻.
• Spectroscopy of new baryonic and mesonic states. We are interested in the discovery of new states predicted by the Standard Model, but yet unobserved experimentally. We exploit the large dataset collected by the LHCb experiment to access new final states unexplored.
• Rare decays and the search for exotic multi-quark states. The measurement of the decay B_s⁰ → J/ψ \rm p \overline{\rm p}pp​ has produced the most precise measurement of the B_s⁰ mass to date. It has also opened a promising path to search for pentaquark states in the proton-J/ψ system.
• EDM and MDM of long lived particles. Several analysis activities are linked to the SELDOM project. SELDOM is an ERC funded project to explore new techniques to search for the electric dipole moment (EDM) and measure the magnetic dipole moment (MDM) of heavy unstable particles, particularly charm and strange baryons. The existence of an EDM violates CP symmetry; it is therefore another possible source of CP violation that could explain the matter/anti-matter imbalance problem. As a part of this project, the group has worked out an amplitude analysis and polarisation measurement for the decay Λ_c⁺ → p K^– π⁺. The measurement is being carried out for Λ_c⁺ baryons produced either promptly or in semi-leptonic decays of a Λ_b⁰ baryon, that lead to distinct Λ_c⁺ polarisation state expectations.
