A Monte Carlo simulation free method of measuring lifetimes using event-by-event acceptance functions at LHCb

A set of innovative methods and tools for precision lifetime and lifetime-difference measurements in hadronic B decays at LHCb is presented. All methods are purely data-driven and Monte Carlo simulation independent, a particularly important feature if lifetime measurements are to be made in the earl...

description A set of innovative methods and tools for precision lifetime and lifetime-difference measurements in hadronic B decays at LHCb is presented. All methods are purely data-driven and Monte Carlo simulation independent, a particularly important feature if lifetime measurements are to be made in the early period of LHCb's data taking. The methods and tools are shown to work in detailed simulation studies, including both Toy and Full Monte Carlo simulation studies of possible systematic biases in the measurements.
