Charm Physics at LHCb

The LHCb experiment has an exciting potential for charm physics studies. A dedicated $D^*$ trigger will provide 10$^8$ events per 2 fb$^{-1}$ of flavour tagged $D^0 \to hh$ decays, which will give unprecedented sensitivity in searches for $D^0$ mixing and CP violation. The same sample provides an in...

Sumario:The LHCb experiment has an exciting potential for charm physics studies. A dedicated $D^*$ trigger will provide 10$^8$ events per 2 fb$^{-1}$ of flavour tagged $D^0 \to hh$ decays, which will give unprecedented sensitivity in searches for $D^0$ mixing and CP violation. The same sample provides an invaluable calibration signal for the experiment’s performance, in particular that of the RICH detector. This programme will be described, and initial Monte Carlo studies presented.
