Title: Running a flavour experiment at the LHC

Aula: Caldirola

Date: Thursday May 19th at 11:00



The LHCb experiment took data during the Run 1 and 2 of the LHC, between 2011 and 2018
and recorded more than 9 fb-1 of data that are used to perform measurements mainly for
heavy flavour physics. I will explain what challenges were met during data taking,
how they were addressed to be able to run in the end with higher instantaneous
luminosity than the one for which the experiment was designed. The efficiency and stability
of the data taking were also improved over the years in order to obtain the high quality data
sample available now.
