b-hadron decays to open charm: physics potential
Crucial experimental ingredientsLarge b-DATA SAMPLE • High Integrated Luminosity at LHCb
• 2010: 37 pb-1 • 2011: 630 pb-1 (11 Aug)
• Large b-production cross-section at s=7TeV~125 b (in acceptance)
Dedicated TRIGGERL0 (Hardware) “high pT” (>2-3GeV) and hadrons HLT (Software) output 3 kHzEfficient selection of key B and D decays
Precision @VERTEXLHCB Vertex detector and tracking(p)/p ~ 0.5-0.8% [3-100 GeV/c](IP)~ 16m + 30m/pT
Excellent invariant mass resolutionExcellent vertex resolution
Mass resolution and displaced vertices for separation from low-mass background and rejection of combinatorial background

Conclusions LHCb on a fast track for precise measurement of CKM angleusing b-
hadron decays to open charm, with both traditional modes:
GLW and ADS results competitive with previous measurements 4 observation of the suppressed ADS modes GGSZ analysis also on the way
and innovative ways: b →DpK (first observation)
Important by-product: fs/fd world best measurement (average of results with semileptonic and hadronic modes)
Present results obtained with 2010 (~35 pb-1) or early 2011(<350 pb-1) data, i.e., just a fraction of total expected by end of this year (1 fb-1)
