Abstract:

Using data collected with the LHCb detector in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV, the semileptonic decays B0s→D+s+Xμν̄ and B0s→D0K+Xμν̄ are detected. Two structures are observed in the D0K+ mass spectrum at masses consistent with the known Ds1(2536)+ and Ds2*(2573)+ mesons. The measured branching fractions relative to the total B-s0 semileptonic rate are B(B0s→Ds2*+Xμν̄)/B(B0s→Xμν̄)=(3.3±1.0±0.4)%, and B(B0s→D+s1Xμν̄)/B(B0s→Xμν̄)=(5.4±1.2±0.5)%, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic. This is the first observation of the D*+s2 state in B0s decays; we also measure its mass and width. © 2011 CERN.

Abstract:

The Ā/A and Ā/K0S production ratios are measured by the LHCb detector from 0.3 nb-1 of pp collisions delivered by the LHC at s√ = 0.9TeV and 1.8 nb-1 at s√ = 7TeV. Both ratios are presented as a function of transverse momentum, pT, and rapidity, y, in the ranges 0.15 < pT < 2.50GeV/c and 2.0 < y < 4.5. Results at the two energies are in good agreement as a function of rapidity loss, Δy = ybeam - y, and are consistent with previous measurements. The ratio Ā/A, measuring the transport of baryon number from the collision into the detector, is smaller in data than predicted in simulation, particularly at high rapidity. The ratio Ā/K0S , measuring the baryon-to-meson suppression in strange quark hadronisation, is significantly larger than expected.

Abstract:

The cross-section for inclusive Φ meson production in pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of s=7 TeV has been measured with the LHCb detector at the Large Hadron Collider. The differential cross-section is measured as a function of the Φ transverse momentum pT and rapidity y in the region 0.6

News from the flavour frontier - Heavy quark physics at the LHC

Proceedings of Science 2011-July (2011)

Abstract:

Results are presented on heavy flavour results from LHC data collected in 2010 and the early months of the 2011 run. All experiments have contributed to studies of heavy flavour production, where a wide range of measurements are now available. In the domain of heavy flavour decays there exist many observables which are highly sensitive to physics beyond the Standard Model. Here several benchmark analyses of LHCb already match or surpass in precision those of the B-factories and Tevatron. The other experiments, in particular CMS with its search for the rare decay B0s → μ+ μ-, are now augmenting this programme.

Abstract:

A search for the decays Bs0 → μ+μ- and B0 → μ+μ- is performed with about 37 pb-1 of pp collisions at s√=7 TeV collected by the LHCb experiment at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. The observed numbers of events are consistent with the background expectations. The resulting upper limits on the branching ratios are B(Bs0 → μ+μ-)<5.6×10-8 and B(B0 → μ+μ-)<1.5×10-8 at 95% confidence level. © 2011 CERN.
