Dr. Chen Chen

I am a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellow in the Elementary Particle Physics Group, working on the LHCb experiment at CERN.

My research focuses on heavy-flavour physics, aiming at improve our understanding of the Standard Model, the most successful fundamental theory of particle physics, and to search for potential News Physics beyond it. My research interests include:

• Hadron spectroscopy, to study the internal structure of hadrons, improving our understanding of the strong interaction and its underlying theory, Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), in the non-perturbative regime.
• Charge-conjugation and parity (CP) violation, to perform precision tests of the Standard Model and search for New Physics beyond it. These studies are closely connected to the long-standing puzzle of the matter–antimatter asymmetry observed in the Universe.

I also have experience studying semileptonic beauty-hadron decays, where I have performed precision tests of lepton flavour universality, a key prediction of the Standard Model.

In addition to my research activities, I serve as the convener of the Beauty-to-Open-Charm Physics Working Group within the LHCb Collaboration, coordinating physics analyses involving beauty-hadron decays to open-charm hadrons.
