Physics Prospects – Baseline Measurements
•Bs mixing (new physics effects in box diagrams)
– Dms from Bs→Dsp
– fs and DGs from Bs→J/yf
•CKM angles from different processes to over-constrain
unitary triangle
 sin(2b) from Bd → J/yKs
Important check/comparison with B-factories
 g from various channels
different sensitivity to new physics
– g from Bs → DsK time dependent asymmetries
– g from B → pp, Bs → KK time dependent asymmetries
– g from B → D0K*0 decay rates
 a from Bd → rp
•rare B decays (b → s processes, NP now yet well constrained)
–Bs → mm down to SM BR
–Bd → K*mm : measure forward-backward asymmetry

Physics Prospects – Dms
Decay time resolution
•Bs  Ds-p+
•Proper time resolution ~ 40 fs
•S/B~3
•80k events/year
Dms=25ps-1
1 year of LHCb data
•Statistical uncertainty on amplitude
of Bs oscillation as function of Dms
oscillations clearly observed with 1 year of
data taking!
•5σ measurement in 1 year of running
for Δms up to 68 ps-1
• (far beyond Standard Model
expectation Δms < 26 ps-1)
Once oscillations are established, determine Δms with σ(Δms) ~ 0.01ps-1 stat.

Summary
•The detector is designed for precise vertexing and tracking and excellent particle
identification.
•LHCb has a high performance trigger dedicated to B physics.
•LHCb will extend the B physics results from B-factories and Tevatron due to the
high statistics expected and the full spectrum of B-hadrons available.
•LHCb spectrometer construction is progressing well.
•Overall commissioning will start end of 2006.
•We are looking forward to first data in 2007!
