Transverse polarisation measurement of Λ\Lambda hyperons in ppNe collisions at sNN\sqrt{s_{NN}}=68.4 GeV with the LHCb detector

A measurement of the transverse polarization of the $\Lambda$ and $\bar{\Lambda}$hyperons in $p$Ne fixed-target collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$=68.4 GeV is presented using data collected by the LHCb detector. The polarization is studied using the decay $\Lambda \rightarrow p \pi^-$ together with its charge conjugated process, the integrated values measured are $$P_{\Lambda} = 0.029 \pm 0.019 \, (\rm{stat}) \pm 0.012 \, (\rm{syst}) \, ,$$ $$P_{\bar{\Lambda}} = 0.003 \pm 0.023 \, (\rm{stat}) \pm 0.014 \,(\rm{syst}) \,$$ Furthermore, the results are shown as a function of the Feynman $x$ variable, transverse momentum, pseudorapidity and rapidity of the hyperons, and are compared with previous measurements.A measurement of the transverse polarization of the $\Lambda$ and $\bar{\Lambda}$ hyperons in $p$Ne fixed-target collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 68.4 GeV is presented using data collected by the LHCb detector.

Measurement of the Branching Fraction of B0→J/ψπ0B^{0} \rightarrow J/\psi \pi^{0} Decays

International audienceThe ratio of branching fractions between $B^{0} \rightarrow J/\psi \pi^{0}$ and $B^{+} \rightarrow J/\psi K^{*+}$ decays is measured with proton-proton collision data collected by the LHCb experiment, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9 fb$^{-1}$. The measured value is $\frac{\mathcal{B}_{B^{0} \rightarrow J/\psi \pi^{0}}}{\mathcal{B}_{B^{+} \rightarrow J/\psi K^{*+}}} = (1.153 \pm 0.053 \pm 0.048 ) \times 10^{-2}$, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic. The branching fraction for $B^{0} \rightarrow J/\psi \pi^{0}$ decays is determined using the branching fraction of the normalisation channel, resulting in $\mathcal{B}_{B^{0} \rightarrow J/\psi \pi^{0}} = (1.670 \pm 0.077 \pm 0.069 \pm 0.095) \times 10^{-5}$, where the last uncertainty corresponds to that of the external input. This result is consistent with the current world average value and competitive with the most precise single measurement to date
