Prospects for observing CP violation and rare decays at ATLAS and CMS

Model (BSM). ATLAS and CMS concentrate on B decays that can be registered by a di-muon signature. B-hadrons decaying to J/psi(mumu) will statistically dominate B-physics analyses allowing high precision measurements, in particular a test of BSM effects in the CP violation of Bs-Jpsiphi. In the so-called rare B-decay sector, ATLAS and CMS will concentrate on a family of semi-muonic exclusive channels, b - s mumu and on the purely muonic decay Bs - mumu. After three years of LHC running at a luminosity of a few times 1033 cm-2 s-1 (corresponding to 30 fb-1), each of these two experiments can measure the Bs-mumu signal with 3 sigma significance, assuming the Standard Model (SM) value for the decay probability.

Heavy Quarks: Summary Report

The present status of the heavy-quark production theory is critically reviewed in the first contribution. The second contribution summarises the present heavy flavour data from HERA and gives an outlook of what can be expected from HERA-II. The potential of the LHC experiments for charm and beauty physics is reviewed in the 3rd contribution. Then the relevance of saturation and small-x effects to heavy quark production at HERA and at the LHC are discussed. The non-perturbative aspects of heavy-quark fragmentation and their relevance to HERA and LHC are discussed in the next contribution. Finally, a comparison of different theoretical predictions for HERA and LHC based on different approaches is presented.

Feasibility of Beauty Baryon Polarization Measurement in Lambda0 J/psi Decay Channel by Atlas-LHC

The possibility of beauty baryon polarization measurement by cascade decay angular distribution analysis in the channel Lambda0 J/psi --> p pi- l+ l- is demonstrated. The error analysis shows that in the proposed LHC experiment ATLAS at the luminosity $10^{4} pb^{-1}$ the polarization can be measured with the statistical precision better than $δ=0.010$ for Lambda_b0 and $δ=0.17$ for Xi_b0.
