LHCb Collaboration
The LHCb (Large Hadron Collider beauty) experiment at CERN, located at Point 8 of the LHC near Geneva, focuses on studying b-quarks to understand the differences between matter and antimatter. It started operating in 2010 and investigates CP violation and rare particle decays, providing insights into why the universe is dominated by matter. LHCb has made significant discoveries, including exotic particles like tetraquarks and pentaquarks, and has observed CP violation in baryons. Its findings test the Standard Model and explore potential new physics.
