Performance of the LHCb RICH detector at the LHC
M. Adinolfi, G. Aglieri Rinella, E. Albrecht +94
The LHCb experiment has been taking data at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN since the end of 2009. One of its key detector components is the Ring-Imaging Cherenkov (RICH) s…
First observation of the decay and studies of excited mesons
LHCb collaboration, R. Aaij, C. Abellan Beteta +621
Properties of the orbitally excited (L=1) states are studied using 1.0 fb of pp collisions at TeV collected with the LHCb detector. The first observation…
Measurement of the Ds+ - Ds- production asymmetry in 7 TeV pp collisions
LHCb collaboration, R. Aaij, C. Abellan Beteta +605
Heavy quark production in 7 TeV centre-of-mass energy pp collisions at the LHC is not necessarily flavour symmetric. The production asymmetry, A_P, between Ds+ and Ds- mesons is st…
Measurement of -hadron branching fractions for two-body decays into charmless charged hadrons
LHCb collaboration, R. Aaij, C. Abellan Beteta +589
Based on data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 0.37 fb^-1 collected by the LHCb experiment in 2011, the following ratios of branching fractions are measured: B(B0 -> pi…
Measurement of the polarization amplitudes and triple product asymmetries in the B_s^0 -> phi phi decay
LHCb collaboration, R. Aaij, C. Abellan Beteta +592
Using 1.0 fb^{-1} of pp collision data collected at a centre-of-mass energy of sqrt{s}=7 TeV with the LHCb detector, measurements of the polarization amplitudes, strong phase diffe…
Measurement of psi(2S) meson production in pp collisions at sqrt(s)=7 TeV
LHCb collaboration, R. Aaij, C. Abellán Beteta +577
The differential cross-section for the inclusive production of psi(2S) mesons in pp collisions at sqrt(s)=7 TeV has been measured with the LHCb detector. The data sample correspond…
Observation of CP violation in B+ to DK+ decays
LHCb collaboration, R. Aaij, C. Abellan Beteta +589
An analysis of B+ to DK+ and B+ to Dpi+ decays is presented where the D meson is reconstructed in the two-body final states: K+pi-, K+K-, pi+pi- and pi+K-. Using 1.0 fb-1 of LHCb d…
Measurements of the branching fractions and CP asymmetries of B+ to J/psi pi+ and B+ to psi(2S) pi+ decays
LHCb collaboration, R. Aaij, C. Abellan Beteta +589
A study of B+ to J/psi pi+ and B+ to psi(2S) pi+ decays is performed with data corresponding to 0.37 fb-1 of proton-proton collisions at sqrt(s)=7 TeV. Their branching fractions ar…
Opposite-side flavour tagging of B mesons at the LHCb experiment
LHCb Collaboration, R. Aaij, C. Abellan Beteta +594
The calibration and performance of the opposite-side flavour tagging algorithms used for the measurements of time-dependent asymmetries at the LHCb experiment are described. The al…

LHCb Collaboration, R. Aaij, C. Abellan Beteta +589
A search for the X(4140) state in B+ to J/psi phi K+ decays is performed with 0.37 fb-1 of pp collisions at sqrt(s)=7 TeV collected by the LHCb experiment. No evidence for this sta…
