What kind of particles are there?
There are a small number of fundamental particles.

What kind of particles are there?
There are a small number of fundamental particles.
And a massive number of composite particles made up of quarks! The above is nowhere near the full list!

11
What do quarks form?
Meson
quark antiquark
Baryon
quark quarkquark
Two different kinds of combinations : quark-antiquark, or three (anti)quarks.
Antiparticles have opposite charges to the corresponding particles, but are otherwise supposed to interact in the same way. Most particles have a corresponding antiparticle (but sometimes a particle is its own antiparticle).

What are some typical particle lifetimes?
Wikipedia : can’t live with it, can’t live without it...
![Page 13: Introduction to the LHCb masterclass exercise V. V. Gligorov, CERN](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062312/551c0d10550346ad4f8b5202/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

What are some typical particle lifetimes?
Wikipedia : can’t live with it, can’t live without it...
A huge range of different lifetimes : you will be measuring a pretty short one...
![Page 14: Introduction to the LHCb masterclass exercise V. V. Gligorov, CERN](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062312/551c0d10550346ad4f8b5202/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
14
How do we measure a short lifetime?
Wikipedia : can’t live with it, can’t live without it...
As an example, consider a particle which lives 10-12 seconds
![Page 15: Introduction to the LHCb masterclass exercise V. V. Gligorov, CERN](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062312/551c0d10550346ad4f8b5202/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
15
How do we measure a short lifetime?
Wikipedia : can’t live with it, can’t live without it...
As an example, consider a particle which lives 10-12 seconds
How far will it travel, on average, if it travels at the speed of light?
![Page 16: Introduction to the LHCb masterclass exercise V. V. Gligorov, CERN](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062312/551c0d10550346ad4f8b5202/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
16
How do we measure a short lifetime?
Wikipedia : can’t live with it, can’t live without it...
As an example, consider a particle which lives 10-12 seconds
How far will it travel, on average, if it travels at the speed of light?
c = 3*108 m/s
So it travels 3*10-4 meters, or 0.3 mm
![Page 17: Introduction to the LHCb masterclass exercise V. V. Gligorov, CERN](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062312/551c0d10550346ad4f8b5202/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

How far will it travel, on average, if it travels at the speed of light?
c = 3*108 m/s
So it travels 3*10-4 meters, or 0.3 mm
This is not very long! Luckily the calculation is wrong -- we forgot special relativity, which tells us that the particle lives longer because of time dilation
![Page 18: Introduction to the LHCb masterclass exercise V. V. Gligorov, CERN](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062312/551c0d10550346ad4f8b5202/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

t’ = t/√(1-v2/c2)
Typically an LHC particle with a lifetime of 10-12 seconds will fly 1 cm... that is long enough that we can measure it!

It oscillates!
anti-D0 meson
Charm antiquark
Upquark
The D0 is a neutral particle : it can oscillate between matter and antimatter before decaying!
![Page 23: Introduction to the LHCb masterclass exercise V. V. Gligorov, CERN](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062312/551c0d10550346ad4f8b5202/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Why does antimatter matter?

2626
Equal amount of matter and antimatter created
Today: almost no antimatter in the universe
So where did all the antimatter go?
Why does antimatter matter?
![Page 27: Introduction to the LHCb masterclass exercise V. V. Gligorov, CERN](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062312/551c0d10550346ad4f8b5202/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
27
It oscillates!
anti-D0 meson
Charm antiquark
Upquark
The D0 is a neutral particle : it can oscillate between matter and antimatter before decaying!
Such particles can give us insight into small differences between matter and antimatter.
![Page 28: Introduction to the LHCb masterclass exercise V. V. Gligorov, CERN](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062312/551c0d10550346ad4f8b5202/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

Why the D0 and not another particle?
Neutral mesons can oscillate between matter and anti-matter as they propagate
![Page 29: Introduction to the LHCb masterclass exercise V. V. Gligorov, CERN](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062312/551c0d10550346ad4f8b5202/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
29
Why the D0 and not another particle?
Neutral mesons can oscillate between matter and anti-matter as they propagate
Classic example is the Bd meson : measurement of Bd oscillations was an early indication of the top quark mass
![Page 30: Introduction to the LHCb masterclass exercise V. V. Gligorov, CERN](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062312/551c0d10550346ad4f8b5202/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)

Why the D0 and not another particle?
Neutral mesons can oscillate between matter and anti-matter as they propagate
Classic example is the Bd meson : measurement of Bd oscillations was an early indication of the top quark mass
Oscillations are interesting because they are sensitive to new particles appearing virtually inside the box diagram, which can be very much heavier than directly produced particles
![Page 31: Introduction to the LHCb masterclass exercise V. V. Gligorov, CERN](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062312/551c0d10550346ad4f8b5202/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
31
Why the D0 and not another particle?
Neutral mesons can oscillate between matter and anti-matter as they propagate
There are several different “down-type” mesons which oscillate : (ds) K0, (db) Bd, (sb) Bs
But only one up-type : the (cu) D0 meson
The top quark does not form mesons or baryons
This makes the D0 a unique laboratory for studying matter-antimatter symmetry in the up-type quark sector

The object of the exerciseThe purpose of this exercise is to
Give you a look at the data coming out of the LHC
Teach you about selecting particles in the LHC data
Teach you about fitting functions to the data in order to measure the signal properties
Teach you about systematic uncertainties in measurements

Data for exercise
Use D0→Kπ events from 2012 datataking, starting mass distribution above.
![Page 54: Introduction to the LHCb masterclass exercise V. V. Gligorov, CERN](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062312/551c0d10550346ad4f8b5202/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)

Event display
Because LHCb is a forward spectrometer with a dipole magnet, it is hard to do visual exercises looking at the full detector. Hence we zoom in around the interaction region for you to find displaced vertices.

Fitting the lifetime
Once you finish looking for the events, you will get a bigger collection of data to use in order to measure the lifetime.

Online instructions
As with the event display, there are online instructions

Fitting the mass
Your first task is to fit functions to signal and background

Plotting the distributions
Now use that fit to plot the distributions of background and signal events in the other physical parameters

Plotting the distributions
And fit the lifetime! Does your result agree with slide 51?
