Model independent approaches to measuring the CKM angle $\gamma$ in $B\rightarrow DK$ decays at LHCb are explored. In particular, we consider the case where the $D$ meson decays into a final state with four hadrons. Using four-body final states such as $\pi^+ \pi^- \pi^+ \pi^-$, $K^+ \pi^- \pi^+ \pi^-$ and $K^+ K^- \pi^+ \pi^-$ in addition to traditional 2 and 3 body states and has the potential to significantly improve to the overall constraint on $\gamma$. There is a significant systematic uncertainty associated with modelling the complex phase of the $D$ decay amplitude across the five-dimensional phase space of the four body decay. It is therefore important to replace these model-dependent quantities with model-independent parameters as input for the $\gamma$ measurement. These model independent parameters have been measured using quantum-correlated $\psi(3770) \rightarrow D^0 \overline{D^0}$ decays collected by the CLEO-c experiment, and, for $D\rightarrow K^+ \pi^- \pi^+ \pi^-$, with $D^0-\overline{D^0}$ mixing at LHCb. This poster will give a brief overview the status and prospects of $\gamma$ measurements with $B\rightarrow DK$, $D\rightarrow$ 4-body using a combination of LHCb and charm factory data, with focus on the $D$ meson decays to four pions.
In order to achieve optimal detector performance the LHCb experiment has introduced a novel real-time detector alignment and calibration strategy for Run II of the LHC. For the alignment tasks, data is collected and processed at the beginning of each fill while the calibrations are performed for each run. This real time alignment and calibration allows the same constants being used in both the online and offline reconstruction, thus improving the correlation between triggered and offline selected events. Additionally the newly computed alignment and calibration constants can be instantly used in the trigger, making it more efficient. The online alignment and calibration of the RICH detectors also enable the use of hadronic particle identification in the trigger. The computing time constraints are met through the use of a new dedicated framework using the multi-core farm infrastructure for the LHCb trigger. An overview of all alignment and calibration tasks is presented and their performance is shown.
