Performance of the LHCb Detector during 2010-2011 data taking
نویسنده
چکیده
The status and performance of the LHCb detector during the physics LHC physics run is described. The LHCb detector has a number of notable features including: 12 micron resolution in the transverse plane on 30-35 track primary vertices, pion and kaon separation from 1 to 100 GeV, and 1 MHz full readout of all subsystems. The detector is being operating above its design luminosity and is comprised of a silicon vertex detector, silicon and straw-tube tracking systems, ring imaging Cherenkov particle identification systems, electromagnetic and hadronic calorime-try, and muon systems. Hardware and software based trigger levels are utilised to efficiently select leptonically and hadronically decay beauty and charm hadrons. The alignment, tracking and particle identification performance will be discussed.

متن کاملMeasurement of the X ( 3872 ) mass with first LHCb data
The mass of the X(3872) meson is measured using approximately 35 pb −1 of data collected with the LHCb detector during the 2010 physics run of the LHC. Inclusively produced X(3872) mesons are reconstructed and selected in the X(3872) → J/ψπ + π − , J/ψ → µ + µ − decay mode. To verify that the momentum scale is well understood the kinematically similar decay ψ(2S) → J/ψπ + π − is used. The preli...
متن کاملAbsolute luminosity measurements with the LHCb detector at the LHC
Absolute luminosity measurements are of general interest for colliding-beam experiments at storage rings. These measurements are necessary to determine the absolute cross-sections of reaction processes and are valuable to quantify the performance of the accelerator. Using data taken in 2010, LHCb has applied two methods to determine the absolute scale of its luminosity measurements for proton-p...
