  2. Introduction • Heavy flavours – excellent place to hunt for effects beyond Standard Model • Strategic attack on SM by LHCb : examples of where LHCb can contribute • Hot channels for the near future: • Bs  μ μ : Is there SUSY? BR ~ tan6β / m4A . • Bs  J/ψφet al. : Beyond-SM CPV? • Bd  μ μ K* : Right-handed currents? •  (φ3) : Is the CKM matrix sufficient? • yCP: Beyond-SM CPV in charm? • My goal is to show results / potential • of LHCb in these areas …  talks by Antonio Masiero and Marco Ciuchini

  3. LHCb design overview JINST 3:S08005,2008 • Correlated bb production, second b in acceptance once the first b is in (flavour tagging) • LHCb covers forward region: 1.9 < η < 4.9 • optimized for forward peaked HQ production at the LHC • only ~4% of solid angle, but ~40% of HQ production cross section • Unique acceptance amongst LHC experiments: can explore QCD in the forward region • LHCb covers forward region: 1.9 < η < 4.9 • Large cc and bb production cross section at LHC : • with ALL c- and b-species produced, • e.g. 50k bb events/s • Busy events, O(200) particles/event • Bunch crossings at 40 MHz, can store < 3 kHz • Aim at reducing rate, while storing as many HQ as possible, two-stage trigger: • Hardware-based L0 trigger employs moderate pT cuts, reduces rate to 800 kHz • Then full event information can be used by the trigger farm (HLT)

  7. LHCb operation LHCb collected ~37 pb-1 in 2010 and already >700 pb-1 in 2011. Goal for 2011: 1 fb-1 • LHC reached nominal peak luminosity of 2x1033 cm-2s-1with number of bunches ~1300 from ~2600 • LHCb recording >1pb-1/hour running at • L~3.3x1032cm-2s-1(higher, than nominal, 2x1032 cm-2s-1 ) in auto-leveling mode • LHCb tested operation up to 4x1032 cm-2s-1 ATLAS CMS dL/dt ~ 100 pb-1/week possible ! ~30 pb-1 in 29 h in a single fill. LHCb luminosity levelling LHCb (design) • Visual average number of vertices now is higher µ ~1.4, compared to nominal µ =0.4 • Higher µ  higher track multiplicity, 1 PV gives 30 tracks/rapidity range, dangerous for reconstruction •  dangerous background for D and B decay vertex reconstruction • average minimum distance between 4 PVs ~12 mm, comparable to average B travel distance ~10 mm

  8. Heavy flavour production: LHCb as a flavour factory  Onia production: J/ψ, χc, ϒ(1S), χb  Exotics: X(3872), X(4140)  b-hadron production: inclusive production, B, Bs, Bc  Exclusive charmonium production

  9. Onia production: J/ψ and ϒ(1S) LHCb-CONF-2011-016 Eur.Phys.J. C71 (2011) 1645 Mechanism of onia production: colour single model, octet model, evaporation model...? Measurements getting more precise than theory, given polarisation will be measured. P.Artoisenet, M.Butenschon, B.A.Kniehl J/ψ from b J/ψ prompt 5.2 pb-1 5.2 pb-1 P.Artoisenet, J.M.Campbell, J.P.Lansberg, F.Maltoni, F.Tramonato 32 pb-1 ϒ(1S) 32 pb-1 Adequate description of J/ψ production, while still big uncertainty for ϒ(1S)

  10. χc and χb production using radiative decays χcJ/ψ γ and χbϒ(1S)γ LHCb-CONF-2011-020 Challenge to resolve χc1 vs. χc2 35 pb-1 NLO NRQCD σ(χc2)/σ(χc1) 35 pb-1 LO colour singlet First results for relative production of χc1 vs. χc2 are not well described by NLO NRQCD. • χb0,1,2 can not be resolved • No sign of χb(2P) reported by CDF (PRL 84 (2000) 2094), • though ϒ(1S) statistics ~30 times larger. 37 pb-1 350±59 events

  11. Exotics: X(3872), observation, mass, x-section LHCb-CONF-2011-021 LHCb-CONF-2011-043 Exotic, internal structure uncertain, possibly a DoD*o molecule. Precise mass crucial Inclusive measurement, LHCb 2010 data, 35 pb-1 Mass calibrated by scaling track momenta and constraining ϒ(1S),ψ(2S)μμ, DoKπ and KoS ππ masses. Control channel: ψ(2S)J/ψππ. for 5 GeV/c < pT < 20 GeV/c, 2.5 < η < 4.5. 35 pb-1 LHCb preliminary 376 pb-1 • With 2011 data perform: • precise mass measurements • angular studies [LHCb-PUB-2010-003] in BX(3872)K to access JPC of X(3872) B+X(3872)K+ M(J/Ψππ)-M(J/Ψ)

  12. Exotics: search for the X(4140) LHCb-CONF-2011-045 CDF ~6 fb-1 CDF observed a 5σ structure, X(4140), X(4140)J/Ψ φ in B+J/ΨφK+ events [arXiv:1101.6058]. LHCb now has a large sample of these decays. LHCb preliminary 376 pb-1 LHCb preliminary 376 pb-1 expected signal scaled from CDF: 39±9±6 B+J/ΨφK+ ~360 decays (c.f. 115 for CDF in 6 fb-1) fit: 7±5 Background model is 3-body phase space convoluted with resolution LHCb does not confirm presence of X(4140). 2.4σ tension with CDF (using this background model)

  13. b-hadron production Eur. Phys. J. C 71 (2011) 1645 b-hadron production studies: Phys. Lett. B 698 (2011) 14 • Detached J/Ψ: σ4πbb = (288 ± 4 ± 48) μb • Dμ tags: σ2 < η < 4bb = (75 ± 5 ± 13) μb LHCb-CONF-2011-033 σ4πbb = (284 ± 20 ± 49) μb • Fully reconstructed J/Ψ X states: 35 pb-1 b-production with B+J/ΨK+ Measurements reasonably well described by theory (FONLL, MC@NLO)

  14. b-hadron production LHCb measured fragmentation fractions: relative rates of B+, Bo, Bs, Λb ... Two complementary approaches: 1. Ratio of related hadronic decays, e.g. BoD-K+ and BsDs-π+ 2. Semi-leptonic analysis with DoμX, D+μX, DsμX & ΛcμX events and accounting for cross-feeds [LHCb-CONF-2011-028] [arXiv:1106.4436, sub. to PRL] LHCb, 35 pb-1 LHCb, 35 pb-1 BsDs-π+ BoD-K+ Consistent results for Bs/Bo fragmentation ratio, fs/fd, which thus can be combined: +0.021 fs/fd not a priori a ‘universal’ number, but similar to LEP and Tevatron result. <fs/ fd> LHCb = 0.267 -0.020 LHCb-CONF-2011-034 Necessary input for e.g. BR(Bsμμ)

  15. Relative Bc+ to B+ meson production LHCb-CONF-2011-017 Production of Bc+ is added by measuring it relative to B+, in the fiducial region pT > 4 GeV/c, 2.5 < η < 4.5. LHCb 2010 data: 32.5 pb-1 32.5 pb-1 32.5 pb-1 3476 ± 62 events 43 ± 13 events Uncertainty is mainly statistical, systematics dominated by the Bc+ lifetime measurement.

  16. Exclusive quarkonia production LHCb-CONF-2011-022  Talk by Alain Martin Usually proton collisions produce very many final state particles because the gluon is a coloured object. But if a colourless object is exchanged….. •  J/ψ and ψ’ exclusive production are interpreted as photon-pomeron fusion or odderon-pomeron fusion; • χc exclusive production is interpreted as double pomeron exchange; •  exclusive di-muons come from photon-photon fusion. • Clean signature: • No backward tracks (gap of 2 units of rapidity) • Precisely two forward muons • No photons (for J/ψand diphoton process) • One photon (for c analysis)

  17. Use of backwardstracks, non-exclusive production Muon Primary vertex Backward tracks Requiring a gap, there is evidence for central exclusive production decaying to two muons. Backward Forward tracks

  18. Exclusive production: signatures fromJ/ψ, ψ’ and χc LHCb 2010 data 3.1 ± 0.6 pb-1 J/ψ and ψ’: number of forward tracks J/ψ subtracted ψ’ J/ψ ψ’ feeddown Purity from forward track counting: fitting the background under the peak by using a straight line or exponential fit, yields purity estimate ~85%. J/ψ and ψ’: number of photons LHCb 2010 data 3.1 ± 0.6 pb-1 Estimated feeddown from χc J/ψ ψ’ χc

  19. Exclusive production: purityfromdimuonpTspectrum Fit elastic and inelastic components LHCb 2010 data 3.1 ± 0.6 pb-1 Estimate purity below 900 MeV : 80±3% J/ψ and ψ’ signals Clean mass peaks of J/ψ and ψ’ resonances despite looking at prompt production in pp-collisions at 7 TeV. Contribution from non-resonant background & misidentification is small J/ψ Ψ’ LHCb 2010 data 3.1 ± 0.6 pb-1 Events with no backward tracks, two forward tracks and no photon.

  20. Exclusive production: χcstates Require two forward tracks and one identified photon > 200 MeV. Even cleaner! Fit M(μμγ) to MC templates for ψ’, χc0, χc1, χc2 LHCb 2010 data 3.1 ± 0.6 pb-1 LHCb 2010 data 3.1 ± 0.6 pb-1 M(μμ) GeV/c2 M(μμγ) GeV/c2 All the three χc states needed to describe the observed spectrum !

  21. Exclusive production: results • Contributions from all the 5 charmonium states (J/ψ, ψ’, χc0, χc1, χc2) is seen. • Comparison theory-experiment requires major efforts from both parts. • Reasonable precision for J/ψ and ψ’, systematics will be improved in 2011. • Consistent* with Starlight, SuperChiC, Motyka & Watt [Phys. Rev. D 78, (2008) 014023] and Schaffer & Szcsurek [Phys.Rev. D76 (2007) 094014] • Still no precise determination of individual χc0, χc1, χc2 production. • Consistent* with SuperChiC, Harland-Lang et al. [arXiv:hep-ph/0909.4748]. • Does not agree to CDF 2009 [Phys. Rev. Lett. 102, (2009) 242001]. • Most clean ratio of ψ’ to J/ψ production, corrected for BR(ψμμ), 0.20 ± 0.03. • Consistent with HERA and Tevatron results. • Consistent* with Starlight and Schaffer & Szcsurek [Phys.Rev. D76 (2007) 094014. arXiv:hep-ph/0811.2488] • New dedicated trigger line implemented now & statistics x 30  improvement in 2011 ! * Large theoretical uncertainties. Rescattering corrections (alters cross-section by ~20%).

  22. Charm studies: LHCb as LHCc C  Mixing parameter yCP via lifetime comparison  Search for CP violation via AΓ  (Search for direct CP violation) Moved to backup

  23. Mixing and CP violation in charm sector D1,2 = p |Do> ± q |Do> x=m/, y=/2 Charm is abundant at LHC: 6.5 mb cross-section. However need to reconstruct low pT decays. • Mixing in charm sector is non-zero at >5σ by HFAG, however no single measurement excludes 0. • CPV in mixing (SM or NP) driven by mixing parameters x,y (~1%). CPV in D mixing in SM is negligible, but can be enhanced in many models. Existing constraints are weak. • Direct CPV best looked for in CSD, where gluonic penguins are significant. Φ SM |q/p| Large samples of charm mesons are being reconstructed. Presently ~700 pb-1 collected. 220 pb-1 195 pb-1 D*+Do(K+K-)π+ Ds+K+K-π+ D+K+K-π+

  24. Measurement of the charmmixingparameteryCP LHCb-CONF-2011-054 Charm mixing parameter yCP : 2010 data, 28 pb-1, flavour tagging using Do sample from D*Doπ decays. Challenges in time-dependent charm studies at LHC: • Contribution from BDX • to prompt charm sample • Correct lifetime bias • on the event-by-event basis DoK-π+ DoK-K+ LHCb preliminary 28 pb-1 LHCb preliminary 28 pb-1 • Future improvement in sensitivity : • Statistics x30 in 2011 • Improved treatment of background events τDo=410.2±0.9 fs DoK-K+ DoK-π+ HFAG 2011 average (without LHCb): (11.1 ± 2.2) x 10-3 yCP= (5.5 ± 6.3 ± 4.1) x 10-3

  25. Measurement of AΓ LHCb-CONF-2011-046 One of most important ways to search CPV in charm mixing: 2010 data, 28 pb-1, flavour tagging using Do sample from D*Doπ decays. • Challenges in time-dependent charm studies at LHC: • Contribution from BDX • to prompt charm sample • Correct lifetime bias • on the event-by-event basis Obtained event-by-event on data AΓ= (-0.59 ±0.59 ±0.21) x 10-2 HFAG 2011 average (without LHCb): ( 0.12 ± 0.25 ) x 10-2 • Future improvement in sensitivity : • Statistics x30 in 2011 • Improved treatment of background events

  26. Beauty studies: LHCb as LHCb Touch rare effects and mostly bs transitions: penguine or box diagram, NP diagrams can compete.  Angle :  Evidence of suppressed ‘ADS’ mode BDK  Charged hadron ID and Direct CP violation in charmless B-decays with eyes  New results on b-baryons: ΛbDopK- Bs mixing phase φs from BsJ/Ψφ and BsJ/Ψ fo(980)  Rare decays: Radiative penguines bs  (Forward-backward asymmetry in BK*ℓℓ) Moved to backup Search for Bsμμ

  27. Precision CKM studies: angle γ • The Rt side precision limited by theory (lattice calculations), while precision of γlimited by experiment. Improve precision of angle γ to improve CKM triangle closure check • Search for NP by comparing tree-mediated processes (γ, Rb) to those involving loop diagrams (γ, β, Rt) 2010 Rb Rt 1 B± DK± decays using common mode for Do & Do • γ sensitive interference • different rates for B+ & B- (CPV) Maximize interference by using mode suppressed for Do & favoured for Do e.g. DoK+π- (DCS) , DoK+π- (CF) the ‘ADS’ method [Atwood, Dunietz, Soni] Total visible BR very small (~10-7). ± The suppressed ‘ADS’ mode is needed to access γ.

  28. Evidence for suppressed ADS mode LHCb-CONF-2011-044 Signal seen with 4.0σ significance & hint of asymmetry, consistent with previous results Ratio to favoured mode: 343 pb-1 ± B± (K π±) K± HFAG average (without LHCb): (1.6 ± 0.3) x 10-2 B-(K+π-)K- B+(K-π+)K+ 343 pb-1 343 pb-1 Asymmetry: HFAG average (without LHCb): -0.58 ± 0.21

  29. ‘Bhh’ (h=π,K,p) at LHCb Two-body charmless B decays: significant contribution of penguin diagrams, important for NP searches BoKπ Rely on good performance of trigger and RICH LHCb preliminary Inclusive spectrum, ππ hypothesis Deploy RICH to decript ‘hh’ ! Boππ BsKK ΛbpK Λbpπ

Relative production rate x BR: Mass relative to Λb: Ξob [Ξ+cπ-, Ξ+cΞ-π+π-,Ξ-Λπ-,Λpπ-] recently observed by CDF [arXiv:1107.4015]. Consistent masses from two experiments: MLHCb(Ξob) - MCDF(Ξob) = -14.2 ± 7.7 MeV/c2
