Abstract

The LHCb experiment key objectives are the observation of effects of NP and the study of the underlying NP phenomena. Although LHCb has been able to collect efficiently data in Run I (2011–2012) and Run II (from 2015 to 2018) measuring a wide range of processes in heavy flavour decays, it is still limited by the instantaneous luminosity levelling which implies a data rate collection of about 1\(\,{\text {fb}}^{-1}\)/year. Currently, the maximum luminosity LHCb can operate at is limited by the detector rather than the capabilities of the LHC. Operating at a higher luminosity would have huge physics program benefits, reducing current uncertainties and gaining the possibility to study highly suppressed decay modes highly sensitive to NP.

Notes

  1. 1.

    The forward region detection of \(Z\rightarrow ll\), allows to determine the direction of the partons producing the Z. Indeed, the Z will follow the valence u (or d) quark direction of motion, since it is produced mostly via collision of u(d)-valence and \(\overline{u}(\overline{d})\)-sea quarks.
