Giovanni Passaleva from the Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare in Firenze begins today his 3-year tenure as LHCb spokesperson. He takes over from Guy Wilkinson from the University of Oxford.…

Today proton-proton collisions for physics restarted again after a 5 month “Extended Year End Technical Stop”. This traditional winter shut-down period was “extended” due to major installation work carried out…

The 2016 data taking period ended this morning. This was a very successful year, both because of the excellent performance of the accelerator and of the LHCb experiment itself. The…

The LHC collider and the LHCb detector continue to work very well. LHCb has collected already 1 fb-1 (integrated luminosity) of data this year, three times more than in 2015.…

Last week the LHCb Running Team, VELOcity, won the first place in its category (senior) during the traditional CERN Relay Race. Contrary to statements of other competitors, based on the…

This night the LHC collider has reached the “Stable Beam” state for the first time this year following the traditional LHC winter shut-down and the collider restart commissioning procedure. In…

80 physicists gathered in Manchester on April 6th and 7th to discuss the future of the LHCb experiment. The LHCb collaboration is currently constructing a significant upgrade to its experiment…

The world’s community of machine learning data scientists organizes “Kaggle” competitions to solve the most difficult and interesting challenges in different fields. This year, for the first time, a competition…

In August 1995 a Letter of Intent was submitted for LHCb, the world’s first dedicated b-physics experiment at a hadron collider. Today, the LHCb Collaboration has marked the 20th anniversary…

The first integrated data-taking and analysis in a High Energy Physics experiment. The procedure of data-taking and analysis at hadron colliders is performed in two steps. In the first one,…
