CMS B physics overview

Abstract

The B physics potential of the CMS detector to be built at the LHC at CERN is presented. First, detector components are briefly reviewed with an emphasis on their role for B physics. Then a description of some physics measurements that could be done with the CMS detector, such as the CKM angle β, the mixing parameter x s and a number of rare decay studies follows. Finally, a possible high-level trigger algorithm is discussed.
