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...

The nature of b-quark jet hadronisation has been investigated using data taken at the Z peak by DELPHI detector LEP. Two complementary methods are used to reconstruct energy weakly decaying b-hadrons, $E_{\mathrm{B}}^{\mathrm{weak}}$ . average value $x^{\mathrm{weak}}_{\mathrm{B}} = E_{\mathrm{B}}^{\mathrm{weak}}/E_{\mathrm{beam}}$ is measured be 0.699±0.011. resulting $x^{\mathrm{weak}}_{\mathrm{B}}$ distribution then analysed in framework two choices for perturbative contribution (parton...
