An algorithm is described for tagging the flavour content at production of neutral $B$ mesons in the LHCb experiment. The algorithm exploits the correlation of the flavour of a $B$ meson with the charge of a reconstructed secondary charm hadron from the decay of the other $b$ hadron produced in the proton-proton collision. Charm hadron candidates are identified in a number of fully or partially reconstructed Cabibbo-favoured decay modes. The algorithm is calibrated on the self-tagged decay modes $B^+ to J/psi , K^+$ and $B^0 to J/psi , K^{*0}$ using $3.0mathrm{,fb}^{-1}$ of data collected by the LHCb experiment at $pp$ centre-of-mass energies of $7mathrm{,TeV}$ and $8mathrm{,TeV}$. Its tagging power on these samples of $B to J/psi , X$ decays is $(0.30 pm 0.01 pm 0.01) %$.
The calibration and performance of the opposite-side flavour tagging algorithms used for the measurements of time-dependent asymmetries at the LHCb experiment are described. The algorithms have been developed using simulated events and optimized and
The direct searches for Beyond Standard Model (BSM) particles have been constraining their mass scale to the extent where it is now becoming consensual that such particles are likely to be above the energy reach of the LHC. Meanwhile, the studies of
The coupling of the electroweak gauge bosons of the Standard Model (SM) to leptons is flavour universal. Extensions of the SM do not necessarily have this property. Rare decays of heavy flavour are suppressed in the SM and new particles may give size
The LHCb experiment has the potential, during the 2010-11 run, to observe the rare decay $B^0_sto mu^+mu^-$ or improve significantly its exclusion limits. This study will provide very sensitive probes of New Physics (NP) effects. High sensitivity to
Recent charm spectroscopy results from Dalitz plot analyses of $B$ decays to open charm final states at LHCb are presented. The decay modes used are $B^{+} to D^{-} K^{+} pi^{+}$, $B^{0} to overline{D}{}^{0} pi^{+} pi^{-}$ and $B^{0} to overline{D}{}^{0} K^{+} pi^{-}$.
