The LHCb experiment is dedicated to precision measurements of CP violation and rare
decays of B hadrons at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN (Geneva). The initial …

Abstract The Large Hadron Collider (LHC), due to start operating in 2007, collides protons
with a centre-of-mass energy of 14 TeV. LHCb is one of the four experiments along the LHC …

The reconstruction efficiency of photons and neutral pions is measured using the relative
yields of reconstructed B+→ J/ψ K*+(→ K+ π 0) and B+→ J/ψ K+ decays. The efficiency is …

The knowledge of the initial flux in conventional neutrino beams represents the main
limitation for a precision (1\%) measurement of $\nu_e $ and $\nu_\mu $ cross sections. The …

The calorimeter system of the LHCb experiment comprises in front to the electromagnetic
and hadronic calorimeters a double detector, aimed at tagging the electric charge and the …

We present the investigation of the use of Opticks, a GPU-accelerated optical photon
interface with the LHCb detector simulation, to improve computation time of optical photon …

I show that the neutral pion decay in B→ K (*) π 0 γ, with π 0→ ee γ, might generate large
sources of lepton flavor universality violation (LFUV) in measurements of the ratios, RK (*): If …

The calorimeter system of LHCb is subdivided into four sub-detectors which provide its
longitudinal segmentation: a Scintillator Pad Detector, followed by a Preshower and, then …

We present an alternative implementation of the Kalman filter employed for track fitting within
the LHCb experiment. It uses simple parametrizations for the extrapolation of particle …

The calorimeter system of LHCb is subdivided into four sub-detectors which ensure its
longitudinal segmentation: a Scintillator Pad Detector (SPD) followed by a Preshower (PS) …
