SM predicts large CP violating asymmetries SM predicts large CP violating asymmetries for B mesons, in many (often rare!) decaysfor B mesons, in many (often rare!) decays
LHCb: dedicated b physics precision experiment of 2nd generation to study CP violation and rare b-decays
Much higher statistics Access to all b-hadron species: Bd, Bu, Bs, Bc, Λb , … Overconstrain the unitarity triangles

Conclusion LHCb is dedicated to the study of b physics
a devoted trigger excellent vertex and momentum resolution excellent particle identification Access to all b-hadron species: Bu, Bd, Bs, Bc , b …
LHCb detector will be ready for data taking in 2007 at LHC start-up Construction of the experiment is progressing well installation of detectors starts this year
Already in year one, LHCb will have competitive measurements on mmss and other parameters
LHCb offers an excellent opportunity to spot New Physics signals beyond the Standard Model very soon at LHC
