Résumé

Kinematic correlations for pairs of beauty hadrons, produced in high energy proton-proton collisions, are studied. The data sample used was collected with the LHCb experiment at centre-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV and corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 3 fb(-1). The measurement is performed using inclusive b -> J/psi X decays in the rapidity range 2 < y(J/psi) < 4.5. The observed correlations are in good agreement with theoretical predictions.

LHCb

LHCb (Large Hadron Collider beauty experiment : Expérience du LHC sur le quark beauté) est une expérience de physique des particules utilisant les collisions de protons produites au collisionneur LHC du CERN (Genève). Ce détecteur est spécialisé dans la physique des saveurs et la recherche de nouvelle physique par des méthodes indirectes comme la mesure de violation de la symétrie CP ou de taux d'embranchement de décroissances rares. Le détecteur LHCb se trouve sur la commune de Ferney-Voltaire en France au point 8 du LHC, à quelques mètres de la frontière suisse.

B-factory

In particle physics, a B-factory, or sometimes a beauty factory, is a particle collider experiment designed to produce and detect a large number of B mesons so that their properties and behavior can be measured with small statistical uncertainty. Tau leptons and D mesons are also copiously produced at B-factories. A sort of "prototype" or "precursor" B-factory was the HERA-B experiment at DESY that was planned to study B-meson physics in the 1990–2000s, before the actual B-factories were constructed/operational.

Quark bottom

Le quark bottom (souvent abrégé en quark b), ou quark beau (beauty quark en anglais), est un quark, une particule élémentaire de la physique des particules. vignette|300px|Diagramme de désintégration des quarks. Comme tous les quarks, le quark bottom est un fermion. Il s'agit d'un quark de possédant une charge électrique de -1⁄3 e. Avec une masse de 4 GeV.c−2 (4 fois celle du proton), le quark bottom est le le plus lourd, étant dépassé seulement par le quark top. L'antiparticule du quark bottom est l'antiquark bottom, de charge électrique 1⁄3 e.
