3. Introduction LHCb experiment (1) One of the four largest experiments in Large Hadron Collider (LHC) 843 members, from 60 institutes in 16 Countries Forward spectrometer. Sasha Mazurov (University of Ferrara) Optimization and χb studies 30 November 2012 3 / 20
4. Introduction LHCb experiment (2) Core physics program is a searching for NEW physics with Charm and Beauty particles. Hot result (November 2012) First evidence for the B0 s → µ+µ− decay. Branching: 3.2+1.5 −1.2 × 10−9. Consistent with Standard Model Many experiments have been looking for this decay in the last 10 years. LHCb is the first to observe it!

7. Trigger software profiling Trigger software profiling The trigger needs fast algorithms! Most experiments require a trigger in order to record interesting events at suitable rate. L0 Hardware Trigger 40MHz → 1MHz. Search for high pt, µ, e, γ, hadron candidates. High Level Software Trigger Farm HLT1: Add Impact parameter cuts HLT2: Global event reconstruction. 100 man/years work that has only 20-30 ms to process an average event. 29K CPUs or 1700 servers. 2 × 1015 bytes stored in 2012.

12. Study of χb production Optimizing the LHCb trigger is crucial in many measurement. In particular, decays with muons can be triggered on with unprecedented high efficiency (∼80%). The dimuon trigger: is not prescaled. is used in more than 50% of LHCb’s papers. Sasha Mazurov (University of Ferrara) Optimization and χb studies 30 November 2012 12 / 20
13. Study of χb production Motivation and Plan b¯ b system, which can be produced in different spin configurations, is ideal laboratory for QCD tests. It’s like a hydrogen atom in QCD. Measured mass Mass from theory States with parallel quark spins (S=1): S-wave Υ state. P-wave χb states, composed by 3 spin states χb(1,2,3) . Can be readily produced in the radiactive decays of Υ. χb(3P) state recently observed by ATLAS, D0 and LHCb. Study of χb production: 1 Measurement for Υ(NS) (N=1, 2, 3) cross sections in χb decays as a function of pT (NΥ) 2 Measurement of χb(0,1,2) (3P) mass.

14. Study of χb production Cross sections Cross sections formula In each pT (Υ) bin calculate: σ(χb→Υγ) σ(Υ) = Nχb→Υγ NΥ × Υ χb→Υγ = Nχb→Υγ NΥ × 1 reco γ Calculate for each Υ(nS), n = 1, 2, 3 and χb(mP), m = 1, 2, 3 Get N from fits: NΥ from m(µ+µ−) and Nχb→Υγ from [m(µ+µ−γ) − m(µ+µ−)] (for better resolution) Compute efficiency from Monte-Carlo simulation Luminosity = 1015 ± 35pb−1, data collected in year 2011.

15. Study of χb production Cross sections Reconstruction Models were built on top of RooFit toolkit and unbinned maximum likelihood fits were performed.
