End of successful proton-proton collision data taking period
The 2024 proton-proton collision period at the LHC ended this week. This period was particularly successful for LHCb, also owing to the excellent performance of the LHC. The rate at which the experiment was able to acquire integrated luminosity was spectacularly higher than in previous years, as shown in the luminosity plots presented in this…
