Zvyagin, LHCb CollaborationAbstract:
The difference in the angular distributions between beauty quarks and antiquarks, referred to as the charge asymmetry, is measured for the first time in bb pair production at a hadron collider. The data used correspond to an integrated luminosity of 1.0 fb(-1) collected at 7 TeV center-of-mass energy in proton-proton collisions with the LHCb detector. The measurement is performed in three regions of the invariant mass of the bb system. The results obtained are A(C)(bb))(40Study of the kinematic dependences of Λb0 production in pp collisions and a measurement of the Λb0 → Λc+π− branching fraction

© Open Access. Production of (Formula presented.) mesons in proton-lead collisions at a nucleon-nucleon centre of-mass energy (Formula presented.) TeV is studied with the LHCb detector. The analysis is based on a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.6 nb-1. The (Formula presented.) mesons of transverse momenta up to 15 GeV/c are reconstructed in the dimuon decay mode. The rapidity coverage in the centre-of-mass system is 1.5 < y < 4.0 (forward region) and -5.0 < y < -2.5 (backward region). The forward-backward production ratio and the nuclear modification factor for (Formula presented.)(1S) mesons are determined. The data are compatible with the predictions for a suppression of (Formula presented.) (1S) production with respect to proton-proton collisions in the forward region, and an enhancement in the backward region. The suppression is found to be smaller than in the case of prompt (Formula presented.) mesons.Precision measurement of the mass and lifetime of the Ξ0b Baryon
