The LHCb experiment is dedicated to precision measurements of CP violation and rare decays B hadrons at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) CERN (Geneva). initial configuration expected performance detector associated systems, as established by test beam simulation studies, described.
This paper presents the design of LHCb trigger and its performance on data taken at LHC in 2011. A principal goal is to perform flavour physics measurements, designed distinguish charm beauty decays from light quark background. Using a combination lepton identification measurements particles' transverse momenta selects particles originating hadrons, which typically fly finite distance before decaying. The reduces roughly 11 MHz bunch-bunch crossings that contain least one inelastic pp...

Engineered dissipative reservoirs have the potential to steer many-body quantum systems toward correlated steady states useful for simulation of high-temperature superconductivity or magnetism. Using up 49 superconducting qubits, we prepared low-energy transverse-field Ising model through coupling auxiliary qubits. In one dimension, observed long-range correlations and a ground-state fidelity 0.86 18 qubits at critical point. two dimensions, found mutual information that extends beyond...

Using data collected with the LHCb detector in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV, hadronic decay Bs -> J/psi f0(980) is observed. This CP eigenstate mode could be used to measure mixing-induced violation B_s system. fit pi+ pi- mass spectrum interfering resonances gives R_{f0/phi} = [Gamma(Bs f0, f0 pi-)]/[Gamma(Bs phi, phi K+K-)] 0.252^{+0.046+0.027}_{-0.032-0.033}, where uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively.

For the physics program of CMS experiment at LHC to be carried out successfully, excellent electromagnetic calorimetry is required. Given thermal properties ECAL, keeping constant term energy resolution below 0.5% needs its temperature stabilized 18/spl deg/C within 0.05/spl deg/C. A prototype module ECAL with final cooling system has been tested CERN check integration read-out electronics and verify that it complies severe requirements. The performance reported here.

Silicon-based microchannel technology offers unmatched performances for cooling high energy physics silicon-pixels detectors. Although Si-Si direct bonding, used the fabrication of plates, meets stringent requirements this application, in particular high-pressure resistance (~200 bar), it is reported to be a challenging and expensive process. In work, we have evaluated two alternative bonding methods towards more cost-effective process: Si-Glass-Si anodic (AB) with thin-film glass Au-Au...
