Abstract:

The production of KS0 mesons in pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 0.9 TeV is studied with the LHCb detector at the Large Hadron Collider. The luminosity of the analysed sample is determined using a novel technique, involving measurements of the beam currents, sizes and positions, and is found to be 6.8±1.0 μb-1. The differential prompt KS0 production cross-section is measured as a function of the KS0 transverse momentum and rapidity in the region 0

Quantum-correlated D-decays at CLEO-c

Proceedings of Science 120 (2010)

Abstract:

The 818 fb−1 dataset collected at the ψ(3770) resonance at CLEO-c offers interesting possibilities for measuring strong phase differences in neutral D decays. The measurements require that both D mesons in the event are fully reconstructed, usually with one decaying to the signal mode of interest, and the other to a CP-eigenstate. The strong phase differences extracted from these decays are important inputs to measurements of the CKM angle γ in B → DK decays. Results are presented from D decays into KS0π+π−, KS0K+K−, and the impact of the γ measurement is discussed. A summary is also given of measurements in other two- three- and four-body modes.

The landscape of flavour physics

Proceedings of the 45th Rencontres de Moriond - 2010 QCD and High Energy Interactions (2010) 57-64

Abstract:

The importance of Flavour Physics as a method to search for non-Standard Model effects is explained. A brief summary is given of some of those topics in Flavour Physics where there are intriguing discrepancies between measurement and expectation. The prospects are discussed for the LHCb experiment in helping to make progress in these and other areas.
