Example of B event
• Selection of a specific B decay event from large background effective trigger
• Reconstruction of final state measurement of momenta and identification of particles
• Measurement of proper time of B decay: t mL / pc decay length L (<L> ~ 1 cm in LHCb) momentum p from decay products (range ~ 1–100 GeV)
• Tagging state of B0 : was it originally produced as B0 or B0 ? e.g. charge of lepton or kaon from decay of the other b hadron can be used

Flavour physics puzzle
The fundamental question: what distinguishes different generationsof quarks and leptons ? - three families of particles have the same quantum numbers, but very different properties (hierarchical masses, small mixing angles) - in Q.M. we expect similar energy levels and large mixing for a set of states with the same quantum numbers.THESE FACTS SUGGEST THAT THERE IS AN ORDERED STRUCTUREBEHIND THE FLAVOUR. - hidden flavour quantum numbers that distinguish different generations - new quantum number new symmetry: A FLAVOUR SYMMETRY - allows the top quark Yukawa coupling - forbids all other Yukawa couplings massless quarks - no mixing between states with different quantum numbers - experiments show that new symmetry has to be only approximate, small breaking allows small quark masses and some mixing. WHAT IS THIS SYMMETRY ?

CP violation and unitarity triangles• Nine unitarity relations of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix
• Two are the most relevant in the analysis of CP violation in B-meson sector:
• The unitary triangle in 2007 when LHCb will start to take data:
measurement of the angle will be crucial
β - large Bd-Bd mixing phase (Vtd)
χ - small Bs-Bs mixing phase
(Vts)
γ - bu decay phase (Vub)
Bs mesons provide access to the second unitarity triangle

• With the same topology Bs Ds is a background for Ds K with ~ 12 –15 higher branching ratio
• the background can be eliminated by cut on difference in log-likelihood between K and hypotheses in RICH
After cuts contamination only ~ 10%
Since Ds has no CP asymmetry, it can be used to control systematic errors:eg to measure any possible productionasymmetry of Bs and Bs

CP asymmetries in Bs Ds K+
• CP violation asymmetry arises from interference between two tree diagrams via Bs mixing:
Bs Ds+K with Bs Bs Ds
+K and Bs DsK+ with Bs Bs Ds

• |T1| |T2 | large asymmetries
• CP asymmetries measure ( is the phase of Vub)if will be determined in Bs J/ decays
a clean method to measure γ since only tree diagrams contribute• Insensitive to new physics, new particles appear in loops• Branching ratio for Ds

CP asymmetry in Bs J/
• Dominated by single amplitude no CP violation in decay• Bs counterpart of the golden mode B0 J/KS
• CP asymmetry arises from interference of Bs J/ and Bs Bs J/
in S.M. asymmetry very small sin 2~ 0.04 sensitive probe for contributions from New Physics:
observation of sizeable asymmetry implies existence of NP• 120,000 events/year with J/ or ee, KK
• For VV decays final state is admixture of CP-even and CP-odd contributions
separation requires angular analysis of decay products
• Likelihood is sum of CP-odd and CP-even terms
L(t) = R L(t) (1+cos2tr)/2 + (1R) L(t) (1cos2tr)
tr is the transversity angle
• Fit for sin 2, R and s/s (s/s 0.1 expected)

Conclusions
• To discover new physics or help interpret new physics discovered in other experiments a comprehensive study of heavy flavour physics is needed:
- measure α, β, γ, χ in many decays with high precision - look at rare decays and mixing
• LHCb will be able to explore flavour physics with the required sensitivity and flexibility needed to discover, confirm or clarify new phenomena.
• The LHCb experiment will be ready for first LHC collisions in 2007
