1 fb-1 of luminosity has been delivered to LHCb
This is a very important milestone for LHCb which will allow LHCb physicists to reach an unprecedented accuracy in most of the core physics processes that are under study. Read…
φs: different properties of matter and antimatter for Bs mesons
LHCb physicists have presented today the most precise measurement of φs (the Bs mixing phase, for experts) at the Lepton Photon conference in Mumbai (India). The value of φs is…
Hunting for New Physics continues
LHCb physicists continue their search for new physics, see 8 April 2011 news for introduction. They have presented updated results during the International Europhysics Conference on High Energy Physics (EPS-HEP)…
Hunting more for New Physics
LHCb Physicists have also presented results of their search for new physics using the B0d (composed of a beauty antiquark (b) bound with a down quark d) decay into an…
Different properties of matter and antimatter
An important part of the LHCb physics programme is reserved for studying differences between the properties of matter and antimatter (CP violation for experts). At the EPS-HEP meeting in Grenoble…
Pierluigi Campana – new spokesperson for the LHCb collaboration
Pierluigi Campana from the Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare in Frascati, begins his 3-year tenure as LHCb spokesperson this June. He replaces Andrei Golutvin, from Imperial College London and Russia’s…
Hunting for New Physics
Quantum mechanics allows energy non-conservation during a very short time, typical in particle collisions. This opens up the possibility to study signal for the existence of particles for which there…
LHCb movie
LHCb live and LHCb physics are presented in a short movie (about 15 min) “LHCb – the beauty experiment”, available at YouTube and CDS. The YouTube version allows you to…
Oscillating Strange Beauty or how matter turns into antimatter and back
Using data collected in proton–proton collisions at the LHC at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV LHCb has observed a fascinating feature of quantum mechanics. The strange beauty particle (matter)…
