New preprint day: arxiv.org/abs/2502.09557. Congratulations to Joshua, who has automated the way in which @lhcb.bsky.social determines the real-time trigger thresholds for its physics programme. This work supported by the @erc.europa.eu starting grant 'Beauty2Charm', and @ukri.org STFC.
An Automated Bandwidth Division for the LHCb Upgrade Trigger
The upgraded Large Hadron Collider beauty (LHCb) experiment is the first detector based at a hadron collider using a fully software based trigger. The first `High Level Trigger' stage (HLT1) reduces t...

I've worked out how to get two Christmas puddings cooked in under a microsecond with this one weird trick. Merry Christmas!

Measurement of CP asymmetry in Bₛ⁰→Dₛ⁺K⁻ decays arxiv.org/abs/2412.14074 - This result is combined with the previous LHCb measurement in this channel using 3fb⁻¹ resulting in a determination of γ=(81+12−11)∘.

First post on the good twitter. Happy to have played a small part in this thanks to @ukri.org
The analysis of Bₛ⁰→Dₛ⁺K⁻ decays produces the most beautiful plots. 🧵⚛️🧪 [1/13]
