LHCb Unravelling Jet Fragmentation at LHCb
Reference: Poster-2025-1244
Keywords:  LHCb
Created: 2025. -1 p
Creator(s): Raminez Garcia, Manuel

Jet substructure measurements at the LHC produce precision tests of jet formation and fragmentation in vacuum as well as at the high temperatures and densities formed in heavy-ion collisions. Jets containing a heavy-flavor hadron drive these QCD measurements into a regime where parton mass and colour factors are critical, pushing the limits of theoretical calculations both in-vacuum and in-medium. Mapping out individual emissions in the Lund jet plane for heavy-flavour jets and comparing to light-quark-enriched jets tagged by a Z boson reveals significant mass-dependence to jet fragmentation, offering a decisive channel to decipher in-medium modification to jet fragmentation across different kinematics. At the same time, measuring heavy-flavour jet mass with a theoretically-safe flavour tagging algorithm for the first time tests perturbative QCD at unprecedented theoretical precision and probes the gluon splitting contribution to heavy-flavour production, a yet-unobserved probe of how the medium resolves quark entanglement. The LHCb collaboration presents recent jet substructure results at forward rapidity in collisions at centre-of-mass energy TeV. These measurements are compared to theoretical predictions, providing new insight on QCD fragmentation at forward rapidity and at low and moderate values of jet transverse momentum. These results provide a baseline for future measurements of jet quenching in PbPb collisions.

LHCb Charm hadronization in fixed-target collisions at LHCb
Reference: Poster-2025-1243
Keywords:  LHCb
Created: 2025. -1 p
Creator(s): Authier, Juliette

The innovative fixed-target programme initiated by the LHCb experiment during the LHC Run 2 has been enhanced for Run 3 with the introduction of a dedicated gas injection system, SMOG2. This upgrade features a gas cell to boost fixed-target luminosity and a new system that allows the injection of non-noble gases. SMOG2 enables the collection of large datasets from pA and PbA fixed-target collisions, including high-statistics samples of charm hadrons. Charm production measurements with SMOG2 provide a unique opportunity to deepen our understanding of charm hadronization processes in both small and large collision systems at the same energy scale, while also establishing important benchmarks for charmonium studies. This poster will present open charm production from the first data collected with the SMOG2 system, as well as future prospects for charm measurements in upcoming fixed-target collisions.

LHCb Recent studies using heavy-flavour jets at LHCb
Reference: Poster-2025-1242
Keywords:  LHCb
Created: 2025. -1 p
Creator(s): Lesser, Ezra

The nonperturbative process of hadronization has recently been the subject of intense experimental investigation at the LHC. Since heavy quark production is suppressed at the hadronization scale, heavy-flavour hadrons offer an insightful probe into this effect, connecting perturbative parton-level calculations with experimental final states. Jets produced in conjunction with heavy hadrons offer additional information about hadronic formation at various mass scales and how hadronization depends on the partonic final states. In particular, recent measurements of in-jet quarkonium production suggest significant parton shower production, where gluons split into heavy quark-antiquark pairs. This further complicates the interpretation of charmonium suppression in heavy-ion collisions as evidence of QGP formation. Jet substructure can also be used to probe the formation of exotic hadrons, whose structure is still not well understood. This talk presents recent studies of hadronization using heavy-flavour jets with the LHCb detector, including inclusive hadron production in heavy-flavor jets, as well as quarkonium and tetraquark production in jets. Results are compared to various models of hadronization, providing strong new constraints on theoretical predictions, and offering insight into interpretations of future measurements in PbPb collisions.

LHCb KK Invariant Mass Distribution in Ultraperipheral PbPb Collisions at LHCb
Reference: Poster-2025-1241
Keywords:  LHCb
Created: 2025. -1 p
Creator(s): Smith, Krista Lizbeth

Photon-photon and photon-nucleus interactions in ultraperipheral collisions of nuclei lead to the production of a wide range of particle species, which can be observed with relatively low backgrounds. The particle species produced include heavy quark and anti-quark pairs, dileptons, vector mesons such as J/psi, and potentially exotic hadrons. The unique geometry and instrumentation of the LHCb spectrometer, combined with the detector particle identification capabilities, provides unparalleled access to hadrons produced in these interactions, which can be identified and reconstructed at very low transverse momentum. This talk will present new LHCb measurements of the KK mass spectrum produced in ultraperipheral collisions of Pb nuclei, and discuss the detailed structures observed therein.

LHCb Operations and prospect for fixed-target data-taking with LHCb
Reference: Poster-2025-1240
Keywords:  LHCb
Created: 2025. -1 p
Creator(s): De Angelis, Camilla

In preparation to the LHC Run3, the LHCb gaseous fixed-target, SMOG, was upgraded to offer higher instantaneous luminosity by up to two orders of magnitude with respect to Run2, new gases, including non-noble ones such as hydrogen, and an increased experimental accuracy. Since 2022, LHCb is working with two independent collision points and as a collider and a fixed-target experiment simultaneously, a unique opportunity in the scientific panorama. In 2024, samples with larger statistics up to three orders of magnitude with respect to Run2 have been collected, giving access to very accurate measurements of abundant probes and the possibility to explore the rarer ones, such as bottomonia resonances, which is unique at this energy scale. In this contribution, the performance of the system from the 2024 acquired data, the first obtained results and the physics prospects for the incoming years will be presented.

LHCb A nuclei identification and production programme at LHCb
Reference: Poster-2025-1239
Keywords:  LHCb
Created: 2025. -1 p
Creator(s): Mariani, Saverio

Leveraging on the excellent performance of the LHCb spectrometer and on the flexibility of its online reconstruction, new methods for the identification of deuteron and helium nuclei have been developed at LHCb. These innovative methods, based on LHCb time of flight capabilities and on energy loss discrimination in the LHCb detectors, open a new window of possible measurements at LHCb. A nearly background-free sample of more than helium candidates is identified and used to reconstruct (anti)hypertriton production, while (anti)helium from (anti)Lambda-b decays are also studied. In fixed-target beam-gas collisions, deuterons at low momentum are identified with high precision. In both cases, a rich programme of QCD and astrophysics interest, exemplifying LHCb flexibility in exploring new research fields, is foreseen.
