Measurement of the relative B- -> D-0 / D*(0) / D**(0)mu(-)(nu)over-bar(mu) branching fractions using B- mesons from (B)over-bar(S)(2)*(0) decays

Olivier Schneider, Yiming Li, Aurelio Bay, Guido Haefeli, Christoph Frei, Frédéric Blanc, Tatsuya Nakada, Michel De Cian, François Fleuret, Luca Pescatore

The decay of the narrow resonance (B) over bar (s2)*(0 )-> B(-)K(+)can be used to determine the B- momentum in partially reconstructed decays without any assumptions on the decay products of the r meson. This technique is employed for the first time to dis ...

Dalitz plot analysis of the D+ -> K-K+K+ decay

Olivier Schneider, Aurelio Bay, Yiming Li, Guido Haefeli, Frédéric Blanc, Christoph Frei, Tatsuya Nakada, Michel De Cian, Luca Pescatore, Chitsanu Khurewathanakul

The resonant structure of the doubly Cabibbo-suppressed decay D+-> K-K+K+ is studied for the first time. The measurement is based on a sample of pp-collision data, collected at a centre-of-mass energy of 8 TeV with the LHCb detector and corresponding to an ...

Measurements of CP asymmetries in charmless four-body Lambda(0)(b) and Xi(0)(b) decays

Olivier Schneider, Aurelio Bay, Yiming Li, Guido Haefeli, Frédéric Blanc, Christoph Frei, Tatsuya Nakada, Bjorn Jozef Maria Robroek, Remy Jean Henry Albrecht, Michel De Cian

Asearch forCP violation in charmless four-body decays of Lambda(0)(b) and Xi(0)(b) baryons with a proton and three charged mesons in the final state is performed. To cancel out production and detection charge-asymmetry effects, the search is carried out by ...

Measurement of the Charm-Mixing Parameter y(CP)

Olivier Schneider, Yiming Li, Guido Haefeli, Christoph Frei, Aurelio Bay, Tatsuya Nakada, Michel De Cian, Frédéric Blanc, Luca Pescatore, François Fleuret

A measurement of the charm-mixing parameter Y-CP using D-0 -> K+K-, D-0 -> pi(+)pi(-), and D-0 -> K-pi(+)decays is reported. The D-0 mesons are required to originate from semimuonic decays of B- and (B) over bar (0)mesons. These decays are partially recons ...

First Measurement of Charm Production in its Fixed-Target Configuration at the LHC

Olivier Schneider, Aurelio Bay, Guido Haefeli, Christoph Frei, Tatsuya Nakada, Michel De Cian, Frédéric Blanc, Elena Graverini, Matthieu Philippe Luther Marinangeli, Pietro Marino

The first measurement of heavy-flavor production by the LHCb experiment in its fixed-target mode is presented. The production of J/psi and D-0 mesons is studied with beams of protons of different energies colliding with gaseous targets of helium and argon ...
