Abstract

The LHCb detector at the Large Hadron Collider is one of the best instruments for charmed baryon spectroscopy available today. Due to its unique design and characteristics as well as stable operation of the LHC, the detector enables measurements of rare and suppressed decays with high accuracy. The report is devoted to the recent observations of the suppressed decays of the baryons and and search for CP violation in baryon decays that were performed by the LHCb collaboration.

Summary

Introduction

Modern studies in baryon physics are aided by various features of high precision experimental setups. Despite the fact that studies using e+e− collisions are the more clean research method, experiments on hadron colliders often provide more data. Among the existing detectors on hadron colliders, the LHCb experiment [1] excels due to its excellent particle identification and vertex reconstruction capabilities. This opens up great possibilities for studying rare and suppressed decays, as well as performing baryon spectroscopy in general. The LHCb detector is located at Large Hadron Collider in CERN. It is a single-arm forward spectrometer covering the pseudorapidity range 2 < η < 5, designed for studies of particles containing b or c quarks. The performance values of LHCb are presented in the table 1
