15 Minimum bias physics First - Production measurements, e.g. strange, charm, bottom. - Multiplicities of charged particles - Particle/Antiparticle asymmetries This talk: Strangeness production, i.e. - K s s=900gev (2009 data) - Measurement of Λ/Λ ratio at s=900 GeV and s=7 TeV (2010 data) Motivation: o Strange quarks are no valence quarks excellent test field for fragmentation models o Particle/Antiparticle ratios help to understand 1. which partons are carriers of the baryon number, 2. the baryon number flow in inelastic hadronic collisions. 6/19/2010 Sebastian Bachmann 15

18 Event selection: Long vs. downstream tracks Two approaches for event selection: Particles reconstructed in Velo, TT and main tracker: Pro: better resolution Con: less statistics (most K s decay outside VELO, VELO half Particles reconstructed in TT and main tracker: Pro: better statistics Con: worse resolution 6/19/2010 Sebastian Bachmann 18
19 Event selection: Downstream tracks: 2009 data, beam-beam LHCb preliminary DD Long tracks: 2009 data, beam-beam LHCb preliminary LL 2009 data, beam-gas LHCb preliminary DD DD LL Mass resolution ~ 9.3 ~ 4.0 (MeV/c 2 ) Total yield in beam-beam 4864 ± ± 36 Total yield in beam-gas 56 ± ± 6 o Take most precise result for each bin in p t and y o Signal extraction from fit, sideband subtraction used for study of systematics o Beam gas interactions reduced by cuts on vertex region and statistically subtracted 6/19/2010 Sebastian Bachmann 19
20 Luminosity is given by: Luminosity measurement N n i n i i= π σ x, i σ y, (some refinement needed, e.g. crossing angle due to LHCb dipole magnet, differences in transverse size, beams not head-on on ) L = Idea: 1. Get beam currents from machine measurements (BCT). 2. Use Velo to measure beam size, positions and angles in beam-gas. f i Measured luminosity in data sample: L int (2009) = 6.8 ± 1.0 μb 1 Dominant systematic uncertainities: Currents: 12% Width: 5% Positions: 3% Angles: 1% 6/19/2010 Sebastian Bachmann 20
21 Trigger efficiency Trigger efficiency measured on data Use two uncorrelated classes of events: - trigger on Signal (TOS) - trigger independent of signal (TIS) TOS TIS&TOS TIS ε TOS trig ( p t, y) = N TIS N N TIS TOS ε TIS trig ( p t, y) = N TIS N N TOS TOS no measurement in bins of (p t, y) due to lack of statistics use trigger emulation of MC and crosscheck with data in 1D projections. 6/19/2010 Sebastian Bachmann 21
22 Results for prompt K s production s=900gev o Statistical error ~10% (dependent on bin) o Main systematic uncertainties: - luminosity (15%) - data/mc agreement (10%) - fit stability (4%) - stability of selection cuts (4%) - trigger (2,5%) 6/19/2010 Sebastian Bachmann 22
23 Predictions for Λ/Λ ratio LHCb LHCb taken from 6/19/2010 Sebastian Bachmann 23
24 Event selection Event selection similar to K s analysis, but using only long tracks. Armenteros-Podolansky variable used for selection of Λ and Λ. No PID used. Pointing of Λ s to primary vertex required. Data for both magnet polarities analysed seperately consistent results Selected events: 0.9 TeV field up data 0.9 TeV field down data 7 TeV field up data Λ Λ TeV field down data 6/19/2010 Sebastian Bachmann 24
25 Invariant mass for Λ and Λ σ = 2.3MeV σ = 2.3MeV Λ Λ σ = 2.5MeV σ = 2.6MeV Λ Λ 6/19/2010 Sebastian Bachmann 25
26 p T and pseudorapidity 6/19/2010 Sebastian Bachmann 26
27 Efficiency corrected ratios for prompt Λ s Numbers corrected for non-prompt Λ s coming from Ξ s. No correction for diffraction Perugia tunes do not include diffraction, LHCb tune includes diffraction. Plots include both statistical and systematic error. Field up and down results were averaged. Systematic uncertainties: Re-weighting of p t -distributions to match data (2%) difference in proton/anti-proton cross section ~10% below 10GeV, reproduced by MC (effect reduced by kinematic selection) contribution to systematic error 2% 6/19/2010 Sebastian Bachmann 27
28 Conclusion LHCb had an excellent start into the LHC era By and by the landscape of the SM re-appears: Many signals from strange, charm and bottom, as well as W-production seen by LHCb. LHCb is able to extend measurements on minimum bias physics to lower p t and higher values of y. Deviations from PYTHIA predictions observed in some kinematic regions: -K s and Λ spectrum tend to be harder than predicted -prompt Λ/Λ ratio tends to be lower at s=900gev, fair agreement at s=7tev valuable input for tuning of MC s Other results on minimum bias physics expected soon: - p/anti-p ratio - meson/baryon ratios, i.e. a measurement of the (Λ + Λ )/K s -ratio - multiplicities of charged particles 6/19/2010 Sebastian Bachmann 28

30 Reality check: s and Ldt in All LHCb simulation studies until recently assumed E cm =14 TeV & annual event yields of 2 fb 1. How do parameter values of run affect the physics reach? Beam Energy LHCb physics reach is not seriously compromised Compare expected cross section by at de scoped design energy parameters with 3.5 of TeV run σ [mb] bb x 0.44 cc x 0.57 Pythia 6.4 Small penalty in statistical precision (but all MC predictions shown today assume, for historical reasons, bb cross section of 500 μb at 14 TeV conservative?) Luminosity LHCb design luminosity is 2 x cm 2 s 1 will be in this regime in 2011! Lower luminosities of 2010 allows for lower trigger thresholds see later 6/19/2010 Sebastian Bachmann 30
