LHCb is an experiment dedicated to study CP violation and other rare phenomena in B mesons decays with very high precision. It is one of the four experiments that will operate at the 14Tev proton-proton Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN…
The LHCb experiment has collected the world's largest sample of charmed hadrons. This sample is used to measure observables related to $D^0 -\overline{D}^0$ mixing, direct $C\!P$ violation and $C\!P$ violation in mixing and interference in…
The vast amount of $c\overline{c}$ production that can be recorded by the LHCb detector makes it an ideal environment to study the hadronic production of charmed baryons, along with the properties of their decays. We briefly describe the…
Charm CP violation is a unique gate to the physics of up-type quarks and allows searches for physics beyond the Standard Model in new and exciting ways, complementary to kaon and $b$ decays. We review recent advances, focusing on…
A major LHCb detector upgrade will be installed during long shutdown~4 (LS4) of the CERN Large Hadron Collider. The experiment will operate at a maximum luminosity of up to $1.5\times 10^{34}\mathrm{cm}^{-2}\mathrm{s}^{-1}$, with acceptance…
The exploration of B-meson decays has reached an unprecedented level of sophistication, with a phase of even much higher precision ahead of us thanks to run 2 of the LHC and the future era of Belle II and the LHCb upgrade. For many…
