Description
Abstract: 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. About speaker: Dr. Patrick Robbe: CNRS DR2 and senior LHCb researcher at the IJCLab, Orsay France. He obtained his bachelor degree in engineer from Ecole Polytechnique, master degree in theoretical physics from Ecole Nomale Superieure and PhD in particle physics from University of Savoie in France. He had been working with the BABAR experiment on the DIRC detector and doubly charmed beauty decays. He is among the pioneers of the LHCb experiment, and has been continuousely contributing to LHCb physics program and detector operation. He was the convener of the LHCb "Quarkonium" physics working group between 2005-2011, and led the LHCb heavy ion physics program since 2015. He was the run coordinator and the LHC contact person for the LHCb experiment during 2015-2016 and a member of the LHCb editorial board during 2017-2019. He is now the memeber of the Scientific Council of IJCLab and team leader of the IJCLab LHCb group. 味物理讲座资料见:https://ihepbox.ihep.ac.cn/ihepbox/index.php/s/gkJYrR1ttK1bjrj
