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...
The average lifetime of bottom hadrons was measured with the Mark II vertex detector at storage ring PEP. determined by measuring impact parameters leptons produced in decays. ${\ensuremath{\tau}}_{b}=({12.0}_{\ensuremath{-}3.6}^{+4.5}\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}3.0)\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}{10}^{\ensuremath{-}13}$ sec found.
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...

A search for pair-produced doubly charged Higgs bosons has been performed using the data collected by DELPHI detector at LEP centre-of-mass energies between 189 and 209 GeV.
