Study of $Ks^{0} \rightarrow \mu^{+} \mu^{-}$ Trigger

The LHCb experiment was initially designed for the study of b-physics, but as the experiment started operation it was noted that it was precise enough to be able to study another rare decay such as $Ks^{0} \rightarrow \mu^{+} \mu^{-}$ which, according to the Standard Model, has a tiny branching rati...

description The LHCb experiment was initially designed for the study of b-physics, but as the experiment started operation it was noted that it was precise enough to be able to study another rare decay such as $Ks^{0} \rightarrow \mu^{+} \mu^{-}$ which, according to the Standard Model, has a tiny branching ratio. A measurement of this branching ratio significantly different would be a sign of physics beyond the Standard Model. The problem is that LHCb's trigger wasn't thought for that decay, so currently its efficiency in this channel is low. In this work we studied this decay on a Monte Carlo simulated sample in order to get an idea of how we need to reconfigurate the trigger in order to get more of this events in our data, but also making sure that this reconfiguration does not take all the bandwidht available.
