First Measurements with the LHCb Experiment
نویسنده
چکیده
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 publishable results are expected soon after the turn-on of LHC. The talk will present the analysis strategies, the physics questions and the results expected from the first 10 minimum bias pp-collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 10 TeV, which can be recorded within one day of stable running.

متن کاملLHCb status and charm physics program
LHCb is a dedicated flavor physics experiment that will observe the 14TeV proton–proton collisions at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Construction of the LHCb detector is near completion, commissioning of the detector is well underway, and LHCb will be fully operational and ready to take data in advance of the projected May 2008 turn-on date for the LHC. The LHCb software trigger will featu...
متن کاملLHCb upgrade plans
The LHCb experiment will operate for about five years at a luminosity of 2 × 10 cms and plans are to accumulate a data sample of ∼ 10 fb. Here we present the physics programme and detector design for a future high luminosity phase of the LHCb experiment. An upgraded LHCb experiment would operate at ten times the design luminosity, i.e. at ∼ 2×10 cms and aims to collect a data sample of ∼ 100 fb...
متن کاملElectroweak 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.
متن کاملStatus and expected performance of the LHCb experiment
LHCb is a dedicated b-physics experiment at the future LHC collider. Its construction has started and it will be ready to take data from the start of LHC operation, scheduled in 2007, and directly at its full physics potential. LHCb will benefit from an unprecedented source of b-hadrons, provided by LHC, to improve substantially precision measurements of CP violation parameters in many differen...
