24 Analysis strategy: acceptance and efficiency Geometric acceptance Between 10 and 400 mrad Stripping/ selection Strong dependence on kinematics for most selections and acceptances issue with data/mc mismatch Trigger PID Neural Net PID behaviour difficult to replicate in MC. Highly dependent on kinematics Evaluated using calibration samples - Data containing high rate, well understood decays. - Calibration samples binned in kinematic variables - Essentially a look up table for MC event efficiency ε = N pass N PID efficiency is not stable over time and changes with magnet polarity needs to be treated separately University of Birmingham 21/10/15 Lb baryon at LHCb Peter Griffith 24
25 Dealing with MC discrepancies Correcting Λ b 0 production kinematics Use another Λ b 0 mode? Only Λ b 0 J/ψpK has similar phasespace coverage Need strong cuts to achieve pure sample Λ b 0 pk μ + μ decay structure Correlation between all angles and the two masses Need model of at least 5D to account for all correlations* ε cosθ b, cosθ l, Δφ, m pk, q 2 Λ b 0 Needs to perform well with high no. of dimensions and finite MC stats * 7D if we do not assume negligible production polarisation University of Birmingham 21/10/15 Lb baryon at LHCb Peter Griffith 25

27 Dealing with MC discrepancies Finding a goldilocks model (or an adventure in failed techniques!) Always a trade off between accuracy and speed Speed important when it comes to systematics (e.g Toy MC s) Need to find a trade-off that s just right Λ b 0 pk μ + μ decay structure Correlation between all angles and the two masses Need model of at least 5D to account for all correlations* ε cosθ b, cosθ l, Δφ, m pk, q 2 Needs to perform well with high no. of dimensions and finite MC stats * 7D if we do not assume negligible production polarisation University of Birmingham 21/10/15 Lb baryon at LHCb Peter Griffith 27
28 Dealing with MC discrepancies Kernel density estimation? Phase space populated with kernels to estimate the pdf. A form of data-smoothing Good for low statistics/many dimensions Estimate density in 1D projections Then perform correlated multidimensional KDE on full phase-space Perform boundary correction Good: Incredibly accurate! Slices through each plain of the multi-dimensional phasespace, unfolded into 1 dimension, showing ratio between MC after full reconstruction/selection and generator level MC weighted with the KDE pdf. Bad: Incredibly CPU intensive! University of Birmingham 21/10/15 Lb baryon at LHCb Peter Griffith 28
29 Dealing with MC discrepancies Neural Network? Good: Bad: Very fast! Comparison of weighted generator level MC and full selection MC Not so accurate University of Birmingham 21/10/15 Lb baryon at LHCb Peter Griffith 29
30 Dealing with MC discrepancies - efficiency Legendre polynomials Reweighting function generated for each event. Models acceptance effects assuming flat at generator level True for angles (spherically isotropic in phase-space MC) Not true for mass Model both MC samples and perform ratio of efficiency functions ε event cosθ b, cosθ l, Δφ, m pk 2, q 2 = i,j,k,l,m c ijklm = c 0 M ijklm (2i + 1)(2j + 1)(2k + 1)(2l + 1)(2m + 1) M ijklm = 1 N events 0 c ijklm P i cos θl P j cos θb P k Δφ P l m pk 2 P m (q 2 ) c 0 is chosen to be ½ and controls overall integral.

35 Summary - Λ b 0 pk μ + μ First official observation and branching fraction measurement Blind analysis Blind in another sense! No experimental knowledge Almost no theoretical knowledge b sll studies currently a hot topic Opens the door for further measurements with Run2 data CP-asymmetry Forward-backward asymmetry Amplitude analysis Still in progress but almost there Scheduled for review this winter University of Birmingham 21/10/15 Lb baryon at LHCb Peter Griffith 35
36 Summary - Λ b 0 physics at LHCb Some of the most precise Λ b 0 measurements yet Still a lot less well known than the mesonic b-sector Anomalies seen in b sll decays at LHCb prompt further study of these hadronic counterparts Recent LHCb results from Λ b 0 rare decays hint at similar pattern of SM discrepancy! To take full advantage of the Λ b 0 sector requires a lot of groundwork f Λb 0 Experimentally: τ Λb 0,, polarisation, branching fraction measurements of ideal control channels, e.g f d Λ 0 b J/ψpK, Λ 0 b J/ψpπ Theoretically: Form factors, predictions (BR, A FB ) etc. Some surprises, e.g discovery of states consistent with pentaquark in Λ b 0 J/ψpK!
