Abstract:

The LHCb experiment provides an ideal environment for the spectroscopy of heavyhadrons. This is evidenced by the 72 new hadrons discovered at the experiment to date,including the world's first observation of pentaquark states. These states exist withinhe non-perturbative regime of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD); their discovery-particularly those of tetraquarks and pentaquarks-has sparked renewed theoreticalinterest in low-energy QCD. This talk provides an overview of heavy-flavor hadronspectroscopy at LHCb, with particular focus on the most recent results. Additionally, Iwill briefly discuss the Upgraded LHCb detector and future prospects for hadronspectroscopy using the LHCb Run 3 dataset.

About the speaker:

Da Yu Tou (杜大佑) received his PhD from Sorbonne University in 2020, focusing on test of lepton universality in b->sll decays at the LHCb experiment. Now a postdoctoral researcher at Tsinghua University, he has recently focused on hadron spectroscopy via amplitude analysis and on LHCb’s Real-Time Analysis (RTA) software trigger, specializing in its GPU-based High Level Trigger 1 (HLT1). He currently serves as a convener for the LHCb B-hadrons and quarkonia physics working group and is a convener for the HEP Software Foundation (HSF) in the Reconstruction and Software Triggers activity area.
