Java’s support for parallel and distributed processing makes the language attractive for metacomputing applications, such as parallel applications that run on geographically distributed (wide-area) systems. To obtain actual experience with a Java-centric approach to metacomputing, we have built and used a high-performance widearea Java system, called Manta. Manta implements the Java RMI model u...

Triggering with the LHCb calorimeters

The LHCb experiment at the LHC has been conceived to pursue high precision studies of CP violation and rare phenomena in b hadron decays. The online selection is crucial in LHCb and relies on the calorimeters to trigger on high transverse energy electrons, photons, π and hadrons. In this purpose a dedicated electronic has been realized. The calorimeter trigger system has been commissioned and i...

First Measurements with the LHCb Experiment

The LHCb detector covers the forward angular region complementary to the angular coverage by the general purpose LHC experiments. With the first data, measurements of inclusive charged particle production and V 0 production will be performed and compared to particle production models. Focusing on ratios, such as positives/negatives or lambda-bar/lambda, many systematic effects cancel and publis...

Electroweak Physics at LHCb

The LHCb forward acceptance covers a range of rapidities not accessible by the other LHC experiments, allowing for complementary measurements. We report recent measurements of electroweak boson production, either inclusive, or in association with a jet or a D meson.
