2. FPCP04, Daegu, 9 Oct 2004P J Dornan - Imperial College London2 Why b-physics at the LHC Millions of b’s With full luminosity, 10 34, gives 5.10 13 bb pairs per year - But events much too difficult to analyse, ~25 interactions per crossing - So - need to run at lower luminosities for most b-physics - In the early period max luminosity expected ~ 10 33 - ATLAS/CMS - but will eventually be able to exploit full luminosity for certain rare decays - LHCb currently plan to run at 2.10 32 by detuning the beam Signal/Background improves with increasing energy  inel = 80 mb,  bb = 500  b All b-species produced, B +, B 0, B s, B c, b-baryons At these energies b’s are getting ‘light’ Thus bb pairs produced dominantly forward - backward - -

3. FPCP04, Daegu, 9 Oct 2004P J Dornan - Imperial College London3 General Purpose ATLAS, CMS – 4  ‘standard’ colliding beam detectors Main aim to search for new states - Higgs and those from BSM so will always aim to run at maximum luminosity, 10 33 -> 10 34Specialised LHCb – forward spectrometer (10 – 300 mrads), designed specifically for b-physics. Will always run at low luminosity, nominally 2.10 32 General Purpose and LHCb operate in complementary kinematic regions The Experiments b bb b No

4. FPCP04, Daegu, 9 Oct 2004P J Dornan - Imperial College London4 Experimental Requirements An excellent vertex detector B-states identified by displaced secondary vertices Good K-  separation Difficult for general purpose detector - a weakness of ATLAS/CMS An essential feature of LHCb A good trigger for interesting b-physics Far too many b’s produced to trigger on all of them. Therefore trigger must reject many b-states and concentrate on those from which CP/CKM physics will result This is probably the greatest challenge for a hadronic b- experiment -- and has caused failures in the past

32. FPCP04, Daegu, 9 Oct 2004P J Dornan - Imperial College London32 The major problem - Triggering B-rates at the LHC are very high The final states of interest are a very small proportion For highest efficiency, the High Level Triggers (HLT)) must focus very directly on the predicted properties of the final states of interest and aim to distinguish them from the predicted backgrounds using the predicted properties of the detector Predictions in the forward area depend upon knowledge of the pdf’s at very low x where they are least reliable The simulation will not be perfect! The performance of the trigger is key to the success of the experiment Planned on the simulation Too loose -> low efficiency Too tight -> potential bias

33. FPCP04, Daegu, 9 Oct 2004P J Dornan - Imperial College London33 Triggering LHCb Dimuon Triggers Much physics, J/  X decays, rare decays Strong signature, low rates Safe for LHCb and ATLAS & CMS, Triggers for hadronic final states Much of the physics is here - quite probably any new physics will at the few % level - probing this is the justification for LHCb But rates are low - or very lowNeed Statistical precision -> highly efficient trigger Systematic precision -> minimal biases and these must be accurately quantified Highly demanding for the trigger

34. FPCP04, Daegu, 9 Oct 2004P J Dornan - Imperial College London34 The Problem Crossing rate at LHC = 40 MHz Running at 2.10 32 and a 25 nsec bunch spacing expect crossings with interactions at 10 MHz - of which 200kHz will have bb pairs! But those useful for CP/CKM physics and having all decay products in the detector is very much less e.g. For B 0  J/  (  )Ks(    - ) it is 0.02 Hz – or 1 per minute. For B s 0   it is ~1 per week

35. FPCP04, Daegu, 9 Oct 2004P J Dornan - Imperial College London35 Current LHCb Plan 3 Level Trigger Level 0 - reduce rate from 10 Mhz to 1 Mhz Pile-up veto, a high p t hadron, electron, muon, photon Increases b purity from 1% to 3% Level 1 – reduce rate from 1 Mhz to 40 kHz Demand tracks with finite impact parameter and high p t Divide bandwidth between generic and specific, cuts for special channels, electron, photon, dimuon b-purity now at 9% High Level trigger – reduce rate from 40 kHz to 200 Hz to tape Fast reconstruction, using all detectors except RICH – so far Bandwidth Division at Level1 To maintain efficiency at this rate, HLT must use tight ‘offline’ type cuts. Efficiency for channels not used to define HLT can be low

36. FPCP04, Daegu, 9 Oct 2004P J Dornan - Imperial College London36 Possible Improvement Keep present philosophy but add a new inclusive stream with simple cuts and a high output rate To be based on detection of just a single muon with minimal p t and impact parameter cuts - small modification of level 1 bandwidth This would be Inclusive - trigger on the ‘other’ b Yields tagged events Robust Use to reduce/estimate systematic uncertainties Access to states not chosen for HLT optimisation  K s …. Output rate- whatever can be handled - would be 2 – 5 kHz with ~50% events with bb Under active investigation - Current 200 Hz stream would be preserved - now Hot Stream Inclusive stream to be reconstructed at many sites Possible future Level 1 bandwidth

37. FPCP04, Daegu, 9 Oct 2004P J Dornan - Imperial College London37 The LHC Status Delays due to problems with the cryolines Poor quality control by the company charged with installation of work by its sub- contractors First collisions are still scheduled for ‘summer’ 2007 Great pressure to maintain this dateComponents Almost all ontime Cryodipoles, which were a problem now stacking up on the surface waiting for the repair of the cryolines

38. FPCP04, Daegu, 9 Oct 2004P J Dornan - Imperial College London38 Summary The LHC has great potential to make major advances in precision CPV b-physics All species of b-hadron state are produced Thousands of events for many important channels with small branching ratios make measurements at the few % level possible. But The hadronic environment will be difficult still a lot of background - mostly from uninteresting b-states Efficient, well understood triggering will be all important
