Rare and very rare decays at the LHCb experiment
Hanae Tilquin
Rare and very rare decays of third-generation particles, including -hadrons and leptons, provide sensitive probes of physics beyond the Standard Model (SM). Unlike direct s…
Towards replacing detector simulation with heterogeneous GNNs in flavour physics analyses
Guillermo Hijano, Davide Lancierini, Alexander Mclean Marshall +8
Driven by the increasing volume of recorded data, the demand for simulation from experiments based at the Large Hadron Collider will rise sharply in the coming years. Addressing th…
Leveraging Reinforcement Learning, Genetic Algorithms and Transformers for background determination in particle physics
Guillermo Hijano Mendizabal, Davide Lancierini, Alex Marshall +8
Experimental studies of beauty hadron decays face significant challenges due to a wide range of backgrounds arising from the numerous possible decay channels with similar final sta…
Luminosity measurement with the LHCb RICH detectors in Run 3
Paula Alvarez Cartelle, Alessia Anelli, Anna Balboni +58
The LHCb Ring-Imaging Cherenkov detectors are built to provide charged hadron identification over a large range of momentum. The upgraded detectors are also capable of providing an…
