Lambda-b Polarization in the LHC-ATLAS Experiment
نویسنده
چکیده
Described here is the study of lambda-b polarization in the LHC-ATLAS experiment I have done with Prof. Homer Neal this summer. Our work has three main focuses, including predicting lambda polarization from quark-quark scattering models applied to p-p elastic collisions, modeling lambda polarization saturation, and simulating lambda-b events and polarization measurements in ATLAS using the λ0J/ψ decay channel.

Feasibility of Beauty Baryon Polarization Measurement in Λ J/ψ decay channel by ATLAS-LHC
The possibility of beauty baryon polarization measurement by cascade decay angular distribution analysis in the channel Λ J/ψ → pπ−l+l− is demonstrated. The error analysis shows that in the proposed LHC experiment ATLAS at the luminosity 104pb−1 the polarization can be measured with the statistical precision better than δ = 0.010 for Λb and δ = 0.17 for Ξ 0 b .
متن کاملCharm and Bottom Production Measurements at the LHC
Early data of the ATLAS and CMS experiments at the LHC will allow us to measure the cross sections for beauty and heavy quarkonia production in pp collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 14 TeV to a reasonable precision. Different experimental approaches employing single or di-muon triggered events and b-tagging methods are discussed. The potential for extracting the polarization of vector sta...

متن کاملDevelopment of the EvtGen package for the LHC and ATLAS
The EvtGen package has been developed for the LHC experiments within the LCG project. The adaptation of the package to the LHC context has necessitated effort in both physics and software. Interfaces have been created to enable the use of EvtGen within the simulation and datahandling frameworks of the LHC experiments. Modifications have been made to meet the requirements of simulating beauty ev...
