Tracking performance for long-lived particles at LHCb

High Energy Physics - Experiment 2020-08-26 v1 Instrumentation and Detectors

Abstract

The LHCb experiment is dedicated to the study of the cc- and bb-hadron decays, including long-lived particles such as KsK_s and strange baryons (Λ0\Lambda^0, Ξ\Xi^-, etc... ). These kind of particles are difficult to reconstruct by the LHCb tracking system since they escape detection in the first tracker. A new method to evaluate the performance of the different tracking algorithms for long-lived particles using real data samples has been developed. Special emphasis is laid on particles hitting only part of the tracking system of the new LHCb upgrade detector.
