Measurement of J/psi production in pp collisions at sqrt(s)=7 TeV

Olivier Schneider, Yiming Li, Aurelio Bay, Guido Haefeli, Frédéric Blanc, Christoph Frei, Tatsuya Nakada, Julien Rouvinet, Barinjaka Rakotomiaramanana, Michel De Cian

The production of J/psi mesons in proton-proton collisions at root s = 7 TeV is studied with the LHCb detector at the LHC. The differential cross-section for prompt J/psi production is measured as a function of the J/psi transverse momentum p(T) and rapidi ...

First observation of Bs0 -> J/psi f0(980) decays

Olivier Schneider, Yiming Li, Aurelio Bay, Guido Haefeli, Frédéric Blanc, Christoph Frei, Tatsuya Nakada, Julien Rouvinet, Barinjaka Rakotomiaramanana, Michel De Cian

Using data collected with the LHCb detector in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV, the hadronic decay B-s(0) -> J/psi f(0)(980) is observed. This CP eigenstate mode could be used to measure mixing-induced CP violation in the B? sy ...

First observation of (B)over-bar(s)(0) -> D-s2*X+mu(-)(nu)over-bar decays

Olivier Schneider, Yiming Li, Aurelio Bay, Guido Haefeli, Frédéric Blanc, Christoph Frei, Tatsuya Nakada, Julien Rouvinet, Barinjaka Rakotomiaramanana, Michel De Cian

Using data collected with the LHCb detector in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV, the semileptonic decays (B) over bar (0)(s) -> D+X mu(-)(nu) over bar and (B) over bar (0)(s) -> (DK+X)-K-0 mu(-)(nu) over bar are detected. Two st ...

Determination of f(s)/f(d) for 7 TeV pp Collisions and Measurement of the B-0 -> D-K+ Branching Fraction

Olivier Schneider, Yiming Li, Aurelio Bay, Guido Haefeli, Frédéric Blanc, Christoph Frei, Tatsuya Nakada, Julien Rouvinet, Barinjaka Rakotomiaramanana, Michel De Cian

The relative abundance of the three decay modes B-0 -> D-K+, B-0 -> D-pi(+), and B-s(0) -> D-s(-)pi(+) produced in 7 TeV pp collisions at the LHC is determined from data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35 pb(-1). The branching fraction of B-0 ...

Search for the rare decays Bs0 -> mu+mu- and B0 -> mu+mu-

Olivier Schneider, Yiming Li, Aurelio Bay, Guido Haefeli, Frédéric Blanc, Christoph Frei, Tatsuya Nakada, Julien Rouvinet, Barinjaka Rakotomiaramanana, Michel De Cian

A search for the decays Bs0 -> mu(+)mu(-) and B0 -> mu(+)mu(-) is performed with about 37 pb(-1) of pp collisions at root s = 7 TeV collected by the LHCb experiment at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. The observed numbers of events are consistent with th ...

Measurement of sigma (pp -> b bbar X) at sqrt(s)=7 TeV in the forward region

Olivier Schneider, Yiming Li, Aurelio Bay, Guido Haefeli, Frédéric Blanc, Christoph Frei, Tatsuya Nakada, Julien Rouvinet, Barinjaka Rakotomiaramanana, Raluca Anca Muresan

Decays of b hadrons into final states containing a D-0 meson and a muon are used to measure the b (b) over bar; production cross-section in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV at the LHC. In the pseudorapidity interval 2 < eta < 6 ...

Prompt K-S(0) production in pp collisions at root s=0.9 TeV

Olivier Schneider, Yiming Li, Aurelio Bay, Guido Haefeli, Frédéric Blanc, Christoph Frei, Tatsuya Nakada, Julien Rouvinet, Barinjaka Rakotomiaramanana, Raluca Anca Muresan

The production of K-S(0) 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 th ...
