LHCb @Bicocca
LHCb is a particle detector at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. Thanks to its unique design, LHCb collected the world's largest samples of hadrons containing beauty and charm quarks. Precise analyses of this dataset are used to study the structure and symmetries of the Standard Model of particle physics and shed light on some of the most important open questions of fundamental physics.
After successful data collection runs from 2011 to 2018, the LHCb detector underwent a major upgrade and resumed operation in 2022 with increased data-taking capabilities that extend the reach of its physics program.
LHCb is run by an international collaboration of 90 Universities and laboratories from 19 countries, for a total of about 1500 members. Our research group from the University and INFN of Milano Bicocca participated in the LHCb experiment since its beginning and is involved in various activities of data analysis as well as software and hardware development.
Research @Bicocca
At the University and INFN of Milano Bicocca, we analyse data from the LHCb experiment, with a focus on semileptonic beauty-mesons decays, charm-mesons decays, rare decays and studies of CP violation. Furthermore, we develop software for real-time data analysis and we design and build new detectors to be installed in future upgrades of the experiment.
