Performance of the LHCb RICH detector at the LHC

The LHCb experiment has been taking data at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN since the end of 2009. One of its key detector components is the Ring-Imaging Cherenkov (RICH) system. This provides charged particle identification over a wide momentum range, from 2-100 GeV/c. The operation and control software, and online monitoring of the RICH system are described. The particle identification performance is presented, as measured using data from the LHC. Excellent separation of hadronic particle types (pion, kaon and proton) is achieved.

Evidence of time-dependent CP violation in the decay B0 to D*+D*-

We report a measurement of the CP-odd fraction and the time-dependent CP violation in B0 to D*+D*- decays, using 657.10^6 BBbar events collected at the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e+e- collider. We measure a CP-odd fraction of Rperp=0.125+/-0.043(stat)+/-0.023(syst). From the distributions of the proper-time intervals between a B0to D*+D*- decay and the other B meson in the event, we obtain evidence of CP violation with measured parameters AD*+D*-=0.15+/-0.13(stat)+/-0.04(syst) and SD*+D*-=-0.96+/-0.25(stat)-0.16+0.13(syst).

CP violation in B decays to charm and charmonium at Belle

We present the study of CP violation in charm and charmonium decays, using a data sample corresponding to 657 \times 10^6 BBbar events collected with the Belle detector at the Υ(4S) resonance at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e^+e^- collider. We report measurements of the polarization fraction and time-dependent CP-violation parameters of the decay B^0\to D^{*+}D^{*-} and of the branching fraction and charge asymmetry in the decay of the Cabibbo- and color-suppressed process B^{\pm} \to ψ(2S) π^{\pm}.
