Differential branching fraction and angular analysis of Λ 0 b → Λμ+μ− decays
(Springer, 2015-06-17)
The differential branching fraction of the rare decay Λ 0 b → Λμ+μ− is measured as a function of q2, the square of the dimuon invariant mass. The analysis is performed using proton-proton collision ...
First observations of the rare decays B + → K + π + π − μ + μ − and B +→ ϕK + μ + μ −
(Springer, 2014-10-09)
First observations of the rare decays B + → K + π + π − μ + μ − and B +→ ϕK +μ+μ− are presented using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.0 fb−1, collected by the LHCb experiment at ...
Measurement of the track reconstruction efficiency at LHCb
(IOPscience, 2015-02)
The determination of track reconstruction efficiencies at LHCb using J/ψ→μ+μ- decays is presented. Efficiencies above 95% are found for the data taking periods in 2010, 2011, and 2012. The ratio of the ...
