LHCb Review

Matthew Kenzie (Cambridge University)


Abstract

LHCb is a single arm forward spectrometer designed specifically to study physics in the quark flavour sector. An overview of a few recent LHCb highlights, particularly relating to CP violation and lepton flavour violation, will be given along with a discussion of LHCb's Upgrade, currently under construction for installation before the next LHC Run (2021), as well as the proposals and physics case for LHCb's future upgrades (2026-2030) for operation in the HL-LHC era.
