On 1 July 2026, the management of the LHCb collaboration is changing. The new team of Tim Gershon (Spokesperson, University of Warwick) and Paula Collins (Deputy Spokesperson, CERN) will take…

LHCb is celebrating the end of a very strong proton-proton run in 2026, during which the experiment benefitted from the stable and efficient running of the detector and the excellent…

Since March 30, the LHC accelerator has been operating in a special configuration, providing a lower collision rate to ATLAS and CMS than usual. This allows these experiments to complement…

One week ago the LHC dumped the beams for the last time this year, bringing the heavy ion run to an end. During this campaign, LHCb collected 0.86 nb⁻¹ of…

The proton–proton (pp) data-taking period for 2025 has just come to an end. Thanks to the commitment and expertise of members of the LHCb collaboration, the outstanding performance achieved throughout…

In August 1995 a Letter of Intent was submitted for the LHCb experiment, the world’s first dedicated B-physics experiment exploiting the unique potential of high-energy hadron-hadron collisions. This year, the…

The scientific review of the LHCb Upgrade II Scoping Document has been concluded by the LHC Committee, and the CERN Research Board has endorsed their conclusions reaching in this way…

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…

The LHCb experiment will upgrade the inner part of the Electromagnetic Calorimeter and the electronics of the Ring Imaging Cherenkov detectors in the next LHC Long Shutdown (LS3). On July…

The 2023 data-taking period ended this morning at 4 am. This year LHCb started taking data on April 14 with proton-proton collisions and ended today with lead-lead heavy ion collisions.…
