2 1. Introduction to LHCb physics and LHCb detector The LHCb experiment is situated at one of the four points around CERN s Large Hadron Collider where beams of protons are smashed together, producing an array of different particles. Other LHC experiments surround the entire collision point with layers of sub-detectors (onion like), the LHCb detector stretches for 20 metres along the beam pipe, with its sub-detectors stacked behind each other like books on a shelf. Each one of LHCb s sub-detectors specializes in measuring a different characteristic of the particles produced by colliding protons. Collectively: information about the identity, trajectory, momentum and energy of each particle generated - single out individual particles from the billions that spray2 out from the collision point.

3 LHCb detector at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN (Geneva) High precision tracking system Particle identification: 2 ring-imaging 12/18/14 Cherenkov detectors IBWAP 2014 a single-arm forward spectrometer covering 10 mrad to 300 (250) mrad in the bending (non-bending) plane. 3 designed primarily to study particles containing b and c quarks.

4 Standard set of performance numbers Acceptance: 2.0 < η < 4.9 Resolutions: - momentum resolution (Δp/p) : 5 GeV/c up to 100 GeV/c - ECAL resolution (nominal): 1% + 10% / E [GeV1/2] - impact parameter resolution: 20 μm for high-pt tracks Stop particles as they pass through the detector, measuring the amount of energy lost as each one grinds to a halt. SPD/PS + Electromagnetic + Hadron Calorimeter Silicon-strip detectors recording tracks of charged particles Muon Chamber System Beam collision point where particles containing b and anti-b quarks are produced Dipole magnet with 4 Tm bending power - curves paths of charged particles; identify particles from curvature of the momentum/path Ring Imaging CHerenkov detectors built for particle identification by measuring characteristics of Cherenkov radiation.mainly identifying products of B meson decays: charged pions, kaons and protons. 12/18/14 IBWAP

5 CALORIMETERS -designed to stop particles as they pass through the detector, measuring the amount of energy lost. ->electromagnetic calorimeter - measuring the energy of lighter particles (e and photons) ->hadron calorimeter- energy of protons, neutrons and other heavy particles The calorimeter -Scintillating Pad Detector (SPD), -Pre-Shower Detector (PS), - shashlik -type Electromagnetic Cal (ECAL) -scintillating tile iron plate Hadron Cal (HCAL) -The SPD - particles hitting the calorimeter system are charged or neutral -The PS -indicates the electromagnetic character of the particle (an electron, if charged, or a photon, if neutral). They are used at the trigger level in association with the ECAL to indicate the presence of electrons, photons and neutral pions. 12/18/14 IBWAP

9 Comparison between py8 diff event type and LHCb data 500,000 events, Pythia 8, PDF set: CTEQ6L1, 1 pp collision/event LbPy8Zee event type ( pure Z ee ) LbPy8Zgee event type ( Z/γ* ee; MZ > 40 GeV/c2) We are not sensitive to the differences between the 2 types of events, in good agreement with LHCb data.

10 Introduction V 0 hadrons ->named after the V -shaped track signature of their dominant decays: Λ pπ Λ pπ + KS π + π Date LHCb NoBias type (trigger on bunch + bunch crossing), "sqrt(s)"=2.76 TeV. Wrong mass hypothesis for Λ 0 /Ks: rejects Λ 0 /Ks candidates which lay close to the Ks/Λ 0 peek under wrong mass hypothesis for one of the daughter proton/pion. Only tracks with quality χ2 /ndf < 9 are considered, with the V 0 required to decay within the VELO and the daughter tracks to be reconstructed through the full spectrometer. Any oppositely-charged pair is kept as a potential V 0 candidate if it forms a vertex with χ2 < 9 (with one degree of freedom for a V 0 vertex). Λ, Λ and KS candidates are required to have invariant masses within ±50 MeV/c2 of the PDG values. This mass window is large compared to the measured mass resolutions of about 2 MeV/c2 for Λ (Λ) and 5 MeV/c2 for KS Combinatorial background reduced with a Fisher discriminant based on the impact parameters (IP) of the daughter tracks (d± ) and of the reconstructed V 0 mother ( IP = minimum distance of closest approach to the nearest reconstructed primary interaction vertex measured in mm) The Fisher discriminant: optimized for signal significance (S/ ( S + B)) on simulated events after the above quality criteria. 10/25

19 Comparison between FEWZ with different PDF sets and LHCb data FEWZ (QCD approximation NNLO): good agreement with JHEP 02(2013) 106 data, no dependence on PDF set used.

20 Comparison between FEWZ with different PDF sets and LHCb data NNLO calculations tend to overestimate the data at low Φ* and underestimate the data at high Φ*.
