Fétenders Veronica!
This Friday 25th August 2023, Veronica Kirsebom (LPHE-OS) successfully presented her thesis entitled Measurement of the B+→ρ0μ+νμ differential branching fraction in front of her family, friends and colleagues. During her PhD, Veronica measured the differential branching fraction as a function of the dilepton invariant mass squared relative to the decay B+→D0μ+νμ with D0→π+π–. This measurement (…)
Auguri Dottor Sara!
