Description
LHCb is an experiment optimised to search for New Physics through
measurements of the decays of B and D hadrons, in particular
those which allow access to CP-violating observables.
The principal goals are studies of B_s mixing-induced CP-violation in channels
such as B_s->J\psi \phi, a precise measurement of the unitary
triangle angle \gamma, and the search for CP-violation in the charm sector.
Early results will be shown from the 2010 run illustrating the
performance of the LHCb detector. These will be used to calculate the expected
physics sensitivity in the above topics with the 1 fb-1 dataset
that is foreseen to become available before the end of 2011.
