CERN has established a task force to identify and support contributions from the Organization’s 18 000-strong global community to combat the COVID-19 pandemic. A team of physicists, engineers and technicians from the LHCb collaboration, supported by several LHCb institutions and CERN services, has developed a novel streamlined ventilator, called HEV. As the pandemic spreads, the…

Today, the LHCb collaboration submitted a paper reporting a system of three particles interpreted as three narrow excited Ξc0 – states. The Ξc0 baryon is composed of a charm-, a strange- and a down-quark (csd). The lightest of all baryons, the proton, which is the nucleus of the hydrogen atom, is composed of two up-…

Today at the CERN seminar, the LHCb collaboration presented an analysis of the angular distributions of B0→K*μ+μ– decays. The measurement uses the same technique as a previous measurement performed on the 2011 and 2012 data sample, but twice as many B0 decays were analysed, due to the addition of data taken during 2016. Compared with…
