Description

The study of rare B meson decays with the LHCb detector is expected to be one of the highlights of the first phase of LHC physics analysis. The forward-backward asymmetry of the decay Bd to K* mu mu is very sensitive to New Physics beyond the Standard Model. Recent work on optimizing the selection of the decay will be presented.
