Our aim was to study the effects of mildly flavoured sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS)-containing and detergent-free toothpastes with and without betaine (BET) on subjective symptoms of dry mouth in a randomised clinical trial. BET is an osmoprotectant that reacts with molecules to supply the surface with a water coating that protects cells from surfactants. Twenty-seven xerostomic patients and 18 h...

The understanding of flavour dynamics is one of the key aims of elementary particle physics. The last 15 years have witnessed the triumph of the Kobayashi-Maskawa mechanism, which describes all flavour changing transitions of quarks in the Standard Model. This important milestone has been reached owing to a series of experiments, in particular to those operating at the so-called B factories, at...

We present recent CDF results on the properties of hadrons containing heavy quarks. These include the measurements of mass, lifetime and relative cross section of the B c meson and an updated measurement of the B 0 s and Λ 0 b lifetime. We also summarize new measurements of the mass of the Σ b baryon.

In this essay we discuss the possibilities and associated challenges concerning beyond Standard Model searches at FCC-ee, such as rare decays of heavy-flavoured particles long-lived particles. The contains several suppression mechanisms, which cause a given group processes to happen rarely, resulting in decays. interest these lies fact that physics does not need be affected by same mechanism th...

A bstract Replica twist defects are of codimension two and enter in quantum information when finding the Rényi entropy. In particular, they generate n replicas bulk conformal field theory. We study monodromy such defect learn how a global O ( N )-symmetry is broken. By applying equation motion to bulk-defect operator-product expansion we able extract anomalous dimension defect-local fields. All...

We consider sub-TeV scale flavoured resonant leptogenesis within the minimal type-I seesaw scenario with two right-handed singlet neutrinos $N_{1,2}$ forming a pseudo-Dirac pair, concentrating on case of masses pair having values $M_{1,2} \lesssim 100$ GeV. The when CP violating asymmetries in individual lepton charges $L_l$, $l=e,\mu,\tau$, and total charge $L$ Universe are generated $1 \leftr...

Recent results from the intensity frontier indicate tantalizing possibility of violation in lepton flavour universality. In light this we revisit minimal phenomenological $Z'$ model taking account both vectorial and axial-vectorial violating couplings to charged leptons. We make a systematic study identify framework that can simultaneously explain recent on anomalous magnetic moment muon electr...
