Abstract

LHCb is one of the four major experiments operating at the Large Hadron Collider, and is specifically dedicated to the measurement of CP-violation and rare decays in the beauty and charm quark sectors. By employing data from early LHC runs it is possible to assess the performance of the detector and to better understand the potential of the LHCb flavour programme. After a brief introduction of the motivations and of the relevant physics goals, the prospects about key CP-violation and rare decay measurements will be presented. Emphasis will be given to those topics where results with particular sensitivity to New Physics are expected during the 2010-11 run.

First results with charmless two-body B-decays at LHCb, and future prospects

Multimedia Vagnoni, Vincenzo

LHCb is an experiment which is designed to perform flavour physics measurements at the LHC. Charged two-body charmless B decays (e.g. B^0 -> Kpi, pipi, B_s->KK, etc) receive significant contributions from loop diagrams and are thus sensitive probes of New Physics. Study of these modes is therefore an important physics goal of LHCb. First results will be presented, using around 37 pb^{-1} of data collected at \sqrt{s}=7 TeV in 2010. These results illustrate the power of the LHCb trigger system and particle identification capabilities of the RICH detectors in isolating clean samples of each final state, and include preliminary measurementsmore »« less

B Physics at the LHC

Journal Article Gersabeck, Marco - AIP Conference Proceedings

The LHC is scheduled to start its first physics data taking period later in 2009. Primarily LHCb but also ATLAS and CMS will start a rich B physics programme with the potential of revealing New Physics in the heavy flavour sector. This contribution will cover the prospects for B physics at the LHC with particular emphasis to early measurements. This includes CP violation measurements in B{sub d}{sup 0} and B{sub s}{sup 0} decays, searches for rare decays such as B{sub s}{sup 0}->{mu}{mu}, as well as semileptonic and radiative channels.

Studies of charmed hadronic B decays with the early LHCb data and prospects for {gamma} measurements

Journal Article Nardulli, J - AIP Conference Proceedings

We present the first studies of decays of the type B{yields}DX, where D represents a charmed meson (D{sup 0}, D{sup (*)+}, or D{sub s}) from the LHCb experiment at CERN. Our studies use data accumulated during the 2010 run of the LHC. This work represents the first steps on a programme towards a precision measurement of the angle {gamma} of the CKM Unitarity Triangle. The prospects for this {gamma} measurement will be reviewed.

B-physics prospects with the LHCb experiment

Journal Article

This paper summarizes the B-physics prospects of the LHCb experiment. Firstly, a brief introduction to the CKM matrix and the mechanism of CP violation in the Standard Model is given. The advantages of the LHCb experiment for B-physics exploitation will then be described, together with a short description of the detector components. Finally, the LHCb physics aims and prospects will be summarized, focusing on the measurements of sin(2{beta}) in tree and gluonic penguin diagrams, sin(2{alpha}) in B{sub d}{sup 0} {sup {yields}} {pi}{sup +}{pi}{sup -} and {pi}{sup +}{pi}{sup -}{pi}{sup 0}, neutral B-meson oscillations and the B{sub s}{sup 0} mixing phase, andmore »« less

Experimental Tests of Discrete Symmetries with Kaons and B-mesons

Journal Article Peyaud, Bernard - AIP Conference Proceedings

During the last decades, experiments using K mesons have provided precise measurements of CP violation parameters which are important inputs for the understanding of flavour physics. They include the measurements of Re({epsilon}{sup '}/{epsilon}) by NA48 and KTeV experiments using K{sub L} and K{sub s}, the search for CP violation in K{sup {+-}}{yields}3{pi} decays and rare decay processes allowing to search for new physics and to test chiral perturbation theory. Moreover, NA62, a new experiment at the CERN/SPS, will measure the branching ratio of K{sup +}{yields}{pi}{sup +} {nu} {nu}-bar to test further the Standard Model.
