Sensitivität
BR excluded at 90 % CL, i.e. only background is observed BR observed or discovered.
Exclude the interesting region between 10-8 and SM with little Lumi (~0.5 fb-1)
Observe (discover) SM BR with 3 (5) after ~2 (~6) fb-1
Events after preselection cuts in 600 (60) MeV mass window
Radiative bs decays
Standard Model bs (bs):
• LH s-quark (RH s-quark)
• LH (RH) photons
BSM physics (SUSY, LR Models) could lead to appreciable RH component photon helicity probes BSM physics
Probing photon helicity:
• (Photon conversion)
• Time dependent ACP:
• Parity-odd triple correlations between photon and 2 out of 3 hadrons in B (K++) decays

B0 (B0bar)X0 very small

Why this decay ?
Expected for one year of measurement ( 2 fb-1 )
• have to fight background
• very good PID necessary, 0 rejection
• proper time resolution (Time dependent CPV polarization)
• high trigger efficiency
• good offline selection
What do we expect at LHCb ?
• two body kinematics
• geometrical cuts on pp-interaction PV and B-decay SV
Selection mainly based on

Reconstruction and Selection

• from numerous 0 decay soft
Require ET() > 2.8 GeV
On the way to the
• Charged tracks must NOT
come from PV ( of B)
• K+K- should come from SV
Some selection criteria…
On the way to the B
• pB = ppshould point to PV
• use B ( allow rather large B as the SV resolution is not good because of K’s !)
