Strategic attack on SM by LHCb : examples of where LHCb can
contribute
Hot channels for the near future:
Bs μ μ : Is there SUSY? BR ~ tan6β / m4A .
Bs J/ψφ et al. : Beyond-SM CPV?
Bd μ μ K* : Right-handed currents?
(φ3) : Is the CKM matrix sufficient?
yCP: Beyond-SM CPV in charm?
My goal is to show results / potential
of LHCb in these areas …

Introduction
SB 3LHCb results: heavy flavours and QCD Trento, 15.09.11
Correlated bb production, second b in acceptance once the first b is in (flavour tagging) LHCb covers forward region: 1.9 < η < 4.9
optimized for forward peaked HQ production at the LHC only ~4% of solid angle, but ~40% of HQ production cross section
LHCb design overview
Bunch crossings at 40 MHz, can store < 3 kHz Aim at reducing rate, while storing as many HQ as possible, two-stage trigger:
Hardware-based L0 trigger employs moderate pT cuts, reduces rate to 800 kHz Then full event information can be used by the trigger farm (HLT)
Unique acceptance amongst LHC experiments: can explore QCD in the forward region LHCb covers forward region: 1.9 < η < 4.9
Busy events, O(200) particles/event
Large cc and bb production cross section at LHC : with ALL c- and b-species produced,
e.g. 50k bb events/s

LHCb collected ~37 pb-1 in 2010 and already >700 pb-1 in 2011. Goal for 2011: 1 fb-1
LHC reached nominal peak luminosity of
2x1033 cm-2s-1 with number of bunches ~1300

LHCb tested operation up to 4x1032 cm-2s-1

LHCb measured fragmentation fractions: relative rates of B+, Bo, Bs, Λb ...
BsDs-π+ BoD-K+
Two complementary approaches:
1. Ratio of related hadronic decays, e.g. BoD-K+ and BsDs-π+
2. Semi-leptonic analysis with Do μX, D+ μX, Ds μX & Λc μX events and accounting for
cross-feeds [LHCb-CONF-2011-028]
[arXiv:1106.4436, sub. to PRL]
Consistent results for Bs/Bo fragmentation ratio, fs/fd, which thus can be combined:
<fs/ fd> LHCb =
0.267
Necessary input for e.g. BR(Bsμμ)
fs/fd not a priori a ‘universal’ number,
but similar to LEP and Tevatron result.

Usually proton collisions produce very many final state particles because the gluon is a coloured object. But if a colourless object is exchanged…..
Exclusive quarkonia production
J/ψ and ψ’ exclusive production are interpreted as photon-pomeron fusion or odderon-pomeron fusion;
χc exclusive production is interpreted as double pomeron exchange;
exclusive di-muons come from photon-photon fusion.
Clean signature: No backward tracks (gap of 2 units of rapidity) Precisely two forward muons No photons (for J/ψ and diphoton process)
One photon (for c analysis)

Comparison theory-experiment requires major efforts from both parts. Reasonable precision for J/ψ and ψ’, systematics will be improved in 2011.

Still no precise determination of individual χc0, χc1, χc2 production.

Most clean ratio of ψ’ to J/ψ production, corrected for BR(ψμμ), 0.20 ±

Mixing in charm sector is non-zero at >5σ by HFAG, however no single measurement excludes 0.

Direct CPV best looked for in CSD, where gluonic penguins are significant.

Observed candidates in both experiments are consistent with the sum of
backgrounds and SM signal BR < 1.1 x 10-8 @ 95% CL. This limit is 3.4 times the expected SM value. A BR of 1.8 x 10-8 has a CLs value of ~0.3%

Summary
LHCb is proving to be a heavy flavour factory
Production of quarkonia and open heavy flavour hadrons is being systematically studied
Charm cross section is large, huge D-meson samples collected, and first CPV studies with 2010 data look promising
Precision CKM angle studies are launched, hint on the ‘ADS’ asymmetry in BDK is observed
Most precise measurement of the direct CPV in BKπ
First evidence of the direct CPV in BsKπ
New data on the b-baryons
LHCb and CMS do not confirm the hint seen by TEVATRON for
Bsμμ, and set the limit, which is x 3.4 SM value
2011 data being analysed, many analyses still on 2010 data
Expect 1 fb-1 in 2011, more in 2012, setting the scene for
precision rare effects studies

Normalize D+ vs. D- to remove production
asymmetries Use resonance motivated binning & uniform binning
Look for statistically significant difference in D+
vs. D- bin contents (based on PRD 80 (2009)
096006) Look for fake CPV in sidebands and control modes
No evidence of CPV for signal in any binning
Cabibbo favoured control modes (no CPV
expected)
No fake CPV seen: data & method robust against biases
