Description

This summer the Large Hadron Collider beauty experiment, LHCb, will start its ambitious physics programme: to make precision measurements at the Large Hadron Collider. With 10^12 b-quarks produced in each 2fb-1 (~1 year) LHCb has the opportunity to perform very precise measurements of b-quark physics with much more copious samples of decays than currently available. In the measurement of the parameter called the flavour-specific asymmetry, a_{fs}, LHCb could discover unknown new physics. a_{fs} will be measured separately for the first time in the channels B_s^0->D_s pi, B_s^0->D_s mu nu, and B_d^0->D mu nu. Hints of supersymmetry, or even so-called unparticles could be detected as we enter the LHC era.
