First 13 TeV collisions
Today, proton beams collided at 13 TeV for the first time inside the LHCb detector. The collisions were part of the ongoing accelerator tests, and are not useful for physics…
Observing nearly invisible
Observation of the rare Bs0→μμ decay from the combined analysis of CMS and LHCb data The CMS and LHCb Collaborations have published today in Nature the first observation of the…
First 2015 proton-proton collisions
Today, for the first time in over two years, protons have collided inside the LHCb detector. Each proton beam had an energy of 450 GeV, which is the value they…
LHC proton beams are circulating again
Today, for the first time in two years, both proton beams are circulating again in the LHC. The picture shows the LHC operators steering the two beams. The proton beam…
B0→K*μ+μ-: new analysis confirms old puzzle
Angular analysis of the B0→K*μ+μ– decay. Today at the 50th Rencontres de Moriond Electroweak, in La Thuile (Italy), the LHCb collaboration presented the result of a first full angular analysis…
The proton beam has traversed the LHCb detector
The LHCb collaboration is ready to take 13 TeV proton-proton collision data. This weekend the LHC proton beam has traversed the LHCb detector for the first time in over two…
Matter-antimatter trigonometry with LHCb
Precise measurement of the unitarity triangle angle β. Today at Les Rencontres de Physique de la Vallée d’Aoste, La Thuile, Italy, the LHCb collaboration presented an important result in our…
