A Glasgow-Cambridge team in the HPQCD collaboration have recently calculated for the first time how the charm quark undergoes a weak interaction when paired with a beauty quark inside a Bc meson and subject to strong interaction physics. The study used the DiRAC High Performance Computing Facility and the paper has now appeared as an Editor's Suggestion in Physical Review D. The LHCb experiment at CERN could soon see this process and the combination of theory and experiment will then shed new light on the quark weak transitions.
