✦ Synopsis

Our knowledge of the quark-mixing matrix and of CP violation has been tremendously improved thanks to the B factories and Tevatron: the KM mechanism is the dominant source of CP violation at the electroweak scale. LHCb is one of the six experiments being constructed on the Large Hadron Collider accelerator at CERN. It is a next generation of flavor-physics experiments which will perform precision tests of CP violation and study rare phenomena to unveil physics beyond the Standard Model, if any, in the interactions of charm-and beauty-hadron decays. The current build status of the detector is given followed by selected topics of the expected physics reach.

LHCb is an experiment designed to search for evidence of new physics effects through precise measurements of decays of B and D mesons. Already with the early data from the first LHC running it is possible to assess the performance of the detector and to understand better the potential of the LHCb fl
