3 Motivation Universe, matter and antimatter, CP violation
4 Universe, matter and antimatter Equal amounts of matter and Antimatter? Matter dominates! AGH, UST, Krakow, Poland, 4 March /65
5 Matter-antimatter asymmetry in the universe Common belief: For every billion ordinary particles annihilating with antimatter in the early Universe, one extra was left standing AGH, UST, Krakow, Poland, 4 March /65
6 How to generate a matter-antimatter asymmetry? No definitive answer to this question yet! In 1967 A. Sacharov formulated a set of general conditions that any mechanism of B-asymmetry generation has to meet : 1) Need a process that violates the baryon number B: (Baryon number of matter=1, of antimatter = -1) 2) Both C and CP symmetries should be violated 3) Conditions 1) and 2) should occur during a phase in which there is no thermal equilibrium Violation of the CP symmetry has been a major field of research in High Energy Physics since already the 1950s Flavour Physics is the grand picture (CP violation has far more interest than solely cosmological considerations) AGH, UST, Krakow, Poland, 4 March /65

17 The LHCb Experiment The flavour physics experiment at the LHC
18 LHCb an international collaboration 15 countries Over 50 universities and laboratories Over 700 scientists Cavern 100 metres below ground
19 LHCb physics roadmap Mission statement - Search for new physics probing the flavour structure of the SM - Study CP violation and rare decays with beauty & charm hadrons Measure processes strongly suppressed in the Standard Model but - Sensitive to new physics (e.g. contributions from new heavy particles in loop processes) - Poorly constrained by present data Measure the sides and angles of the unitarity triangle which is at the heart of the CKM description of CP violation in the Standard Model - Over-constrain the system with various related measurements - Look for inconsistencies among various independent measurements of the same quantity using decay modes sensitive or non-sensitive to new physics (modes dominated by tree-level or loop diagrams, respectively) Measure CP violating quantities that probe the flavour structure of the SM AGH, UST, Krakow, Poland, 4 March /65
