Objective The unique capabilities of the LHCb experiment at CERN will be used to collect enormous samples of charm meson multibody decays, and then study these decays for evidence of indirect CP-violation. Any discovery would be highly suggestive of physics contributions from beyond the Standard Model. The analysis methods proposed are novel and are largely independent of model-based assumptions about the resonance substructure of the charm decay, hence providing robustness to the results. The proposal also features plans to improve the trigger system of LHCb to improve still further the performance in charm physics during future data taking Fields of science natural sciencesphysical sciencestheoretical physicsparticle physics Programme(s) FP7-PEOPLE - Specific programme "People" implementing the Seventh Framework Programme of the European Community for research, technological development and demonstration activities (2007 to 2013) Topic(s) FP7-PEOPLE-2012-IEF - Marie-Curie Action: "Intra-European fellowships for career development" Call for proposal FP7-PEOPLE-2012-IEF See other projects for this call Funding Scheme MC-IEF - Intra-European Fellowships (IEF) Coordinator THE CHANCELLOR, MASTERS AND SCHOLARS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD Address Wellington square university offices OX1 2JD Oxford United Kingdom See on map Region South East (England) Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire Oxfordshire Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Administrative Contact Gill Wells (Ms.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window EU contribution € 221 606,40
