Production of associated $\Upsilon$ and open charm hadrons in $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=7$ and $8$TeV via double parton scattering
M. Borisyak, LHCb c.
Associated production of bottomonia and open charm hadrons in pp collisions at √ s = 7 and 8 TeV is observed using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3 fb−1 accumulated with the LHCb detector. The observation of five combinations, Υ(1S)D0 , Υ(2S)D0 , Υ(1S)D+, Υ(2S)D+ and Υ(1S)D+ s , is reported. Production cross-sections are measured for Υ(1S)D0 and Υ(1S)D+ pairs in the forward region. The measured cross-sections and the differential distributions indicate the dominance of double parton scattering as the main production mechanism. This allows a precise measurement of the effective cross-section for double parton scattering.

A search for CP violation in charmless three-body Ξ−b→pK−K− decays is performed using pp collision data recorded with the LHCb detector, corresponding to integrated luminosities of 1 fb−1 at a center-of-mass energy √s=7 TeV, 2 fb−1 at √s=8 TeV and 2 fb−1 at √s=13 TeV. A good description of the phase-space distribution is obtained with an amplitude model containing contributions from Σ(1385), Λ(1405), Λ(1520), Λ(1670), Σ(1775) and Σ(1915) resonances. The model allows for CP -violation effects, which are found to be consistent with zero. The branching fractions ...

The increasing luminosities of future Large Hadron Collider runs and next generation of collider experiments will require an unprecedented amount of simulated events to be produced. Such large scale productions are extremely demanding in terms of computing resources. Thus new approaches to event generation and simulation of detector responses are needed. In LHCb, the accurate ...

When using Wasserstein GAN loss function for training generative adversarial networks (GAN), it is theoretically necessary to limit the discriminators’ expressive power (so called discriminator normalization). Such limitation increases the stability of GAN training at the expense of a less expressive final model. Spectral normalization is one of the normalization algorithms that involves applying a ...
