φS measurement Key measurement for 2009 φS is small in SM: φS =-2βS =-2λ 2η ≈ -0. 036 sensitive probe for New Physics: φS = φSSM + φSNP Tevatron results: D 0 2 s= 0. 57 + 0. 24 -0. 30 with 2. 8 fb-1 CDF 2 s = [0. 32, 2. 82] @ 68%CL with 1. 35 fb-1 Measure from time dependent CP asymmetry in b ccs (BS J/ψ φ, BS J/ψ η(η’), BS ηCφ, BS DSDS, …) “golden mode” BS J/ψ φ : high BR (~130 k per 2 fb-1) 13
φS measurement J/ψ φ is not a pure CP eigenstate: angular analysis is necessary to separate CP-odd and CP-even Other b ccs processes (J/ψ η, ηCφ, DSDS) can be added: angular analysis not needed, but smaller statistics The BSM effect in φS can be discovered or excluded with 2008/2009 LHCb data 14

Upgrade issues 30
10 fb-1 will be collected by 2013 Sensitivities for 100 fb-1 • φS measured to 0. 023 • γ to 2 - 5 o • BS μμ observed at 5σ level • many more excellent physics results next step – collect 100 fb-1 Probe/measure NP at % level • have to work at > 1033 cm-2 s-1 • upgrade is necessary Also studying Lepton Flavour Violation in 31
LHCb at higher luminosity • The L 0 hadron trigger saturates the bandwidth (1 MHz) at 2·1032 cm-2 s-1 • typical L 0 efficiency for purely hadronic final states ~ 50% will drop with luminosity • apart from the trigger, the LHCb performance does not deteriorate significantly up to 1033 cm-2 s-1 • A 40 MHz readout of all the detectors is the only way to achieve 1033. Introduce first level trigger on detached vertex on a CPU farm LHC schedule • Phase 1: IR upgrade. Install new triplets β*=0. 25 m in IP 1 and 5. Requires 8 month shutdown in 2012 -2013 • Phase 2: inner detectors of ATLAS and CMS need to be replaced. 18 month shutdown in ~2017 32
LHCb upgrade strategy the main effort is to upgrade by 2014 all Frontend Electronics to 40 MHz readout. • perform also necessary upgrade of subdetectors • replace readout chips in the vertex detector (VELO) • RICHs: the readout chips are encapsulated inside photodetectors replace all photodetectors ! • Tracking system: replace all Si sensors, as readout chips are bonded on hybrids • run from 2014 at 1033 cm-2 s-1 until the Phase 2 shutdown. Reach 20 fb-1. in 2017 upgrade the subdetectors for >2·1033 cm-2 s-1 • fully rebuild vertex detector (pixels or 3 D) • rebuild Outer Tracker, replace central part of EM calorimeter, … • run at highest possible luminosity for 5 years. 33
Conclusions • The LHCb detector at LHC is commissioned and ready to take data • key measurements with 2009 data: • φS: precision ~0. 023 • BS μμ : sensitivity ~ SM expectations • Full physics program in 2010 -2013 at 10 fb-1: • angle γ (precision of ~5 o with 2 fb-1 ) • search for New Physics in photon polarization in b sγ • precision measurement of AFB in B K*μμ • Charm physics: D 0 mixing, direct CP violation in D 0 KK(ππ) • and much more… • 2013+: upgrade of the detector, aiming to reach 100 fb -1 at operating luminosity of 1033 cm-2 s-1 (and >2·1033 cm-2 s-1 in 2017+) 34
