In this inaugural lecture, Dean of the Faculty of Science, Professor Nick Brook, discusses some of the latest results from an experiment that uses the Large Hadron Collider.
The Large Hadron Collider beauty (LCHb) experiment studies the decay and properties of particles containing heavy (charm and beauty) quarks, produced in the forward region from proton-proton collisions at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC).
It uses the LHC as an intensity frontier machine and has recorded the world's largest data sample of beauty and charm particles. This enables precise studies, including discoveries of new states and measurements of their properties.
