Vertex locator (VELO) is a silicon microstrip detector situated around the interaction point in the large Hadron Collider beauty (LHCb) spectrometer at the Large Hadron Collider. The LHCb experiment is dedicated to studying charge conjugation and parity symmetry violation in the heavy flavor sector and rare decays of B mesons. [...]

/ Alexander, M. (Glasgow U.) ; Barter, W. (Manchester U.) ; Bay, A. (Ecole Polytechnique, Lausanne) ; Bel, L.J. (NIKHEF, Amsterdam) ; van Beuzekom, M. (NIKHEF, Amsterdam) ; Bogdanova, G.

Precise knowledge of the location of the material in the LHCb vertex locator (VELO) is essential to reducing background in searches for long-lived exotic particles, and in identifying jets that originate from beauty and charm quarks. Secondary interactions of hadrons produced in beam-gas collisions are used to map the location of material in the VELO. [...]

Measurement of the forward energy flow in $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}$= 7 TeV
/ LHCb Collaboration
The energy flow created in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s}$=7 TeV is studied within the pseudorapidity range 1.9<eta<4.9 with data collected by the LHCb experiment. The measurements are performed for inclusive minimum-bias interactions, hard scattering processes and events with an enhanced or suppressed diffractive contribution. [...]

Measurement of the time-dependent $CP$ asymmetry in $B^0 \to J/\psi K^0_{\rm S}$ decays
/ LHCb Collaboration
This Letter reports a measurement of the $CP$ violation observables $S_{J/\psi K^0_{\rm S}}$ and $C_{J/\psi K^0_{\rm S}}$ in the decay channel $B^0 \rightarrow J/\psi K^0_{\rm S}$ performed with 1.0 fb$^{-1}$ of $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=7$ TeV collected by the LHCb experiment. The fit to the data yields $S_{J/\psi K^0_{\rm S}}= 0.73 \pm 0.07 {\rm (stat)} \pm 0.04 {\rm (syst)}$ and $C_{J/\psi K^0_{\rm S}}= 0.03 \pm 0.09 {\rm (stat)} \pm 0.01 {\rm (syst)}$. [...]

First observation of the decays $\bar{B}^0_{(s)}\to D_s^+K^-\pi^+\pi^-$ and $\bar{B}^0_s\to D_{s1}(2536)^+\pi^-$
/ LHCb collaboration
The first observation of the decays $\bar{B}^0_{s}\to D_s^+K^-\pi^+\pi^-$ and $\bar{B}^0\to D_s^+K^-\pi^+\pi^-$ are reported using an integrated luminosity of 1.0 fb$^{-1}$ recorded by the LHCb experiment. The branching fractions, normalized with respect to $\bar{B}^0_{s}\to D_s^+\pi^-\pi^+\pi^-$ and $\bar{B}^0_{s}\to D_s^+K^-\pi^+\pi^-$, respectively, are measured to be $\frac{B(\bar{B}^0_{s}\to D_s^+K^-\pi^+\pi^-)}{B(\bar{B}^0_{s}\to D_s^+\pi^-\pi^+\pi^-)} = (5.2\pm0.5\pm0.3)\times10^{-2}$, $\frac{B(\bar{B}^0\to D_s^+K^-\pi^+\pi^-)}{B(\bar{B}^0_{s}\to D_s^+K^-\pi^+\pi^-)} = 0.54\pm0.07\pm0.07$, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic.

A study of the $Z$ production cross-section in $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 7 TeV using tau final states
/ LHCb Collaboration
A measurement of the inclusive $Z \to \tau\tau$ cross-section in $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 7$ TeV is presented based on a dataset of 1.0 fb$^{-1}$ collected by the LHCb detector. Candidates for $Z \to \tau\tau$ decays are identified through reconstructed final states with two muons, a muon and an electron, a muon and a hadron, or an electron and a hadron. [...]

Measurement of the $B^0$--$\bar B^0$ oscillation frequency $\Delta m_d$ with the decays $B^0 \to D^- \pi^+$ and $B^0 \to J\ \psi K^{*0}$
/ LHCb Collaboration
The $B^0$--$\bar B^0$ oscillation frequency $\Delta m_d$ is measured by the LHCb experiment using a dataset corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $1.0\,$fb$^{-1}$ of proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 7\,$TeV, and is found to be $\Delta m_d = 0.5156 \pm 0.0051\,($stat.$) \pm 0.0033\,($syst.$)\,$ps$^{-1}$. The measurement is based on results from analyses of the decays $B^0 \to D^- \pi^+$ ($D^- \to K^+ \pi^- \pi^-$) and $B^0 \to J\ \psi K^{*0}$ ($J\ \psi \to \mu^+ \mu^-$, $K^{*0} \to K^+ \pi^-$) and their charge conjugated modes..
