Charge readout analysis in Liquid Argon Time Projection Chambers for neutrino and astro-particle physics / Analyse de la lecture de charge pour les Chambres à Projection Temporelle à Argon Liquide pour la physique du neutrino et astroparticules

Caiulo, Davide 21 April 2017 (has links)
Un point crucial pour l'avenir de la Physique de Particules est représenté par la mesure de la masse et des paramètres qui gouvernent l'oscillation du neutrino, qui représentent la preuve de Physique au-delà du Model Standard. Depuis 2011, la valeur élevée de l'angle de mélange θ13 a ouvert la voie à l'étude sur la violation de symétrie CP dans le secteur de neutrinos. La nouvelle d'expérience DUNE (Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment) a un potentiel sans précédent pour effectuer une mesure très précise des paramètres d'oscillation de neutrinos. Les grands détecteurs souterrains nécessaires pour ces mesures sont également un milieu idéal pour la recherche sur la désintégration du proton et sur la détection de neutrinos provenant des supernovæ.Les détecteurs utilisés pour ces expériences sont des Chambres à Projection Temporelle (TPC) dont la cible, très massive, est constituée d'Argon liquide. Ce type de détecteur fournit une très bonne résolution de l'image reconstruite, une excellente résolution en énergie et la possibilité d'identifier les particules. Les interactions de neutrino produisent des particules secondaires qui ionisent l'Argon liquide. Les électrons produits par ionisation dérivent sur de longues distances, sous l'effet d'un champ électrique uniforme, jusqu'à rejoindre l‘anode, équipé pour la détection de la charge. Un signal électrique est alors produit et est utilisé pour la reconstruction 3D de l'interaction primaire. La TPC en double phase liquide-gaz permet l'amplification du signal d'ionisation par des avalanches qui se produisent dans la phase gazeuse, au-dessus du niveau de l'Argon liquide. Cette technique améliore les performances de TPC en augmentant son rapport signal-bruit.Le sujet de cette thèse est la reconstruction et l'analyse de la charge de ionisation dans une TPC à Argon liquide : la mesure de la charge déposée par ionisation fournit des informations sur l'énergie cinétique des particules chargées secondaires produites lors de l'interaction de neutrino. De cette manière, il est possible de reconstruire l'énergie du neutrino entrant, de reconnaître et d'exclure les gerbes électromagnétiques produites par la désintégration du π0, puis d'effectuer l'indentification des particules à partir de la mesure des pertes d'énergie par ionisation.La mesure de l'ionisation implique une connaissance approfondie de la réponse du détecteur et de l'algorithme de reconstruction. Afin d'atteindre cette connaissance nous avons effectué une analyse détaillée des pertes d'énergie simulée en étudiant les divergences entre les connaissances théoriques et la simulation. Ensuite, la simulation de la réponse du détecteur a été étudiée, en examinant les effets qui se produisent au cours de la dérive des charges et les effets liés à la réponse de l'instrumentation électronique. Ces effets systématiques qui affectent l'exactitude de l'algorithme de reconstruction sont alors caractérisés par rapport à la génération de Monte-Carlo.Par la suite, nous montrons comment il est possible d'effectuer la rejection du π0 en étudiant les pertes d'énergie. En mesurant les pertes par ionisation au début d'une gerbe électromagnétique, il est possible de comprendre si elle a été produite par un électron ou par un photon. Cela permet d'exclure le bruit dans la détection des produits d'interaction du neutrino électronique fondamental pour la recherche de la violation de CP.Par l'échantillonnage de la trajectoire d'une particule chargée et en mesurant ses pertes d'énergie, il est possible d'identifier sa nature. Une TPC à Argon liquide est également un milieu idéal pour la recherche de la désintégration du proton, en particulier en regardant certaines chaînes de désintégration exclusives, comme p  K + ν. Dans cette thèse, nous montrons ainsi comment il est possible d'identifier des particules à partir de la mesure des pertes d'énergie, et plus abordons plus précisément l'identification des kaons chargés / This is an important period for High Energy Physics: many recent results, including the Higgs discovery and its characterization, confirm the Standard Model. A crucial point for the future of Particle Physics is the study of neutrino masses and mixing representing the first established evidence of physics beyond the SM. Since 2011, the large value of the ?13 mixing angle opened the way to the investigation of CP violation in the neutrino sector. A next generation long baseline neutrino experiment (DUNE) has unprecedented potential to precisely measure the neutrino oscillation parameters, determine the neutrino mass hierarchy and has a very good chance to discover evidence for CP violation in the leptonic sector. The large underground neutrino detectors needed for this task will also address the search for proton decay and the observation of supernovae neutrinos. Giant Liquid Argon Time Projection Chambers (LAr TPCs) will be employed as neutrino targets and detectors. They provide bubble-chamber quality imaging coupled to excellent energy resolution and particles identification capabilities. Neutrino interactions produce secondary particles, which ionize the liquid argon. The ionization electrons drift for long distances along a uniform electric field until they reach finely segmented and instrumented anodes, producing electrical signals that are used for 3D imaging and analysis of the primary interactions. The dual-phase readout technique foresees the amplification of the ionization signal in avalanches occurring in the gas phase above the liquid argon level. This technique further enhances the performance of the LAr TPC by increasing its signal to noise ratio. The subject of thesis is the ionization charge reconstruction and analysis in the dual-phase LAr TPC: the ionization charges measurement provides information about the kinetic energy of secondary charged particles produced in neutrino interactions. In this way, it is possible to reconstruct the incoming neutrino energy, identify and reject electromagnetic shower generated by photons from pi0 decay and perform particles identification from the measurement of the specific ionization losses.The measurement of the ionization implies a detailed knowledge of the detector response and of the reconstruction algorithm. In order to achieve this knowledge a detailed analysis of the simulated energy losses has been performed by studying the differences between the theoretical knowledge and the simulation

Focusing on operators involving electroweak gauge and/or Higgs bosons, we derive constraints originating from Run I LHC data. We then study the capabilities of the present and future LHC runs at higher energies to further probe associated CP-violating phenomena and we demonstrate how differential information can play a key role. We consider both traditional four-lepton probes of CP-violating in the Higgs sector and novel new physics handles based on varied angular and non-angular observables. / Nesta tese é estudado as consequências fenomenológicas de diversas estruturas que violam a simetria CP, surgidas no contexto do modelo padrão efetivo. Focando nos operadores que envolvem os bósons de calibre e o Higgs, estabelecemos vínculos provenientes dos dados do RUN I do LHC. Em seguida, é estudada a capacidade do RUN I e de futuros RUNs do LHC em sondar os fenômenos associados à violação de CP e é demonstrado como as informações provenientes das distribuições diferencias podem desempenhar um papel chave para determinação destes vínculos. Para sondar efeitos físicos de violação de CP, consideramos tanto as sondagens tradicionais utilizando o canal de decaimento do Higgs em 4 léptons assim como novos observáveis angulares e cinemáticos empregados em diferentes canais de produção e decaimento do Higgs.

Matrizes de massa e violação CP / Mass matrices and CP violation

Gaydutschenko, Larissa, 1987- 19 May 2006 (has links)
Orientador: Orlando Luis Goulart Peres / Dissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Instituto de Física Gleb Wataghin / Made available in DSpace on 2018-08-23T16:45:26Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 Gaydutschenko_Larissa_M.pdf: 776013 bytes, checksum: dded3e977e716b07101df7cb392a6b94 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2013 / Resumo: O fenômeno de oscilação de neutrinos, já experimentalmente observado, só pode ser explicado se a massa dos neutrinos for diferente de zero. No entanto, até pouco tempo atrás, acreditava-se que neutrinos não tivessem massa. O Modelo Padrão das partículas elementares ainda não é capaz de descrever a natureza massiva dos neutrinos, de forma que as matrizes de mistura para léptons (entre autoestados de gauge e autoestados de massa), análogas às matrizes de mistura de quarks, ainda não podem ser encontradas. Através de uma pequena extensão do Modelo Padrão, é possível descrever uma física que leva em conta essas massas e que, portanto, nos fornece essas matrizes de mistura. Essa extensão trata-se de nada mais que o acréscimo de uma nova partícula ao modelo, um lépton neutro que não interage por força fraca. Essa partícula é chamada de neutrino estéril. Portanto, acrescentando um ou mais neutrinos estéreis ao Modelo Padrão posso obter a matriz de mistura para léptons e, consequentemente, contar o número de parâmetros físicos que ela possui. O interesse em contar esses parâmetros reside no fato de que encontrar o número de fases complexas presentes na matriz de mistura é equivalente a encontrar o número de fases de violação de simetria conjugação de carga e paridade (CP) para léptons. Em 1967, o físico russo Andrei Sakharov propôs uma forma de explicar a assimetria bariônica (matéria-antimatéria) partindo de um estado simétrico. Para isso, algumas condições precisariam ser respeitadas pela física do universo. Uma dessas condições é que exista na natureza uma fonte de violação CP. Procurar essa violação em léptons foi o objetivo deste trabalho. Assim, foi possível obter a matriz de mistura para léptons estendendo o modelo padrão pela adição de um neutrino estéril e levando em conta o caso geral de n famílias de léptons. Uma vez tendo encontrado a matriz de mistura, fizemos a contagem dos parâmetros. Além abranger os cálculos usados para encontrar o número de fases complexas damatriz, a dissertação apresenta uma breve introdução à teoria quântica de campos, a simetrias discretas e ao mecanismo de quebra espontânea de simetria, conceitos necessários para o entendimento do trabalho realizado / Abstract: The neutrino oscillation phenomenum, already experimentally observed, can only be explained if neutrino masses are different from zero. However, till recently, it was believed that neutrinos were massless. The Standard Model of elementary particles is yet not able to describe the massive nature of neutrinos, such that the lepton mixing matrix (between gauge eigenstates and mass eigenstates), analogous to the quark mixing matrix, can still not be found. Through a small extension of the Standard Model, it is possible to describe physics that take into account these masses and, therefore, provides us with these mixing matrices. This extension is nothing but the addition of a new particle, a neutral lepton that does not interact through weak force. This particle is called sterile neutrino. So, by adding one or more sterile neutrinos to the Standard Model, I can get the lepton mixing matrix and consequently count the number of physical parameters that it presents. The interest in counting these parameters resides in the fact that finding the number of complex phases in the mixing matrix is equivalent to finding the number of charge conjugation-parity (CP) violation for leptons. In 1967, the Russian physicist Andrei Sakharov proposed a way to explain the baryonic asymmetry (matter-antimatter) beginning with a symmetric state. For that to work some conditions needed to be respected by the universe physics. One of them is that there must exist in nature a source of CP violation. Looking for that source as the leptonic sector of the particle physics was the goal of this project. And finally it was possible to get the lepton mixing matrix extending the standard model by the addition of one sterile neutrino and taking into account the general case of n lepton families. Once we got the mixing matrix, we counted the physical parameters. Besides presenting all the calculation used for finding the number of complex phases in the matrix, this thesis presents a brief introduction to quantum field theory, discrete symmetries and the spontaneous symmetry breaking mechanism, all of these concepts being necessary for the understanding of the work accomplished / Mestrado / Física / Mestra em Física

Study of charmless three-body decays of neutral B mesons with the LHCb spectrometer / Pas de titre en français

Sobczak, Krzysztof Grzegorz 15 December 2011 (has links)
Ce document de thèse décrit la recherche des désintégrations en trois corps des mésons beaux neutres qui contiennent un KS ou un pi 0 dans l'état final. Ces événements sont reconstruits au moyen du spectromètre LHCb installé auprès du collisionneur proton-proton LHC, sis au Cern à Genève. La phénoménologie des ces modes est riche et couvre la possibilité de mesurer tous les angles du triangle d'Unitarité de la matrice Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) qui décrit les amplitudes de transition par courant chargé faible entre quarks. Une illustration portant sur la mesure de l'angle gamma est développée dans ce document plus en détail. L'accélérateur LHC et les éléments utiles du spectromètre LHCb sont rapportés en mettant l'accent sur le travail conduit au cours de cette thèse sur l'étalonnage et l'alignement du détecteur de pieds de gerbe du calorimètre électromagnétique. Nous avons construit une méthode de calibration du détecteur au moyen de particules qui le traversent au minimum d'ionisation. Les résultats et les performances de ces calibrations sont discutées. Une méthode de discrimination des pi 0 et des photons de haute énergie est présentée, bénéficiant des mesures des caractéristiques des cascades électromagnétiques dans le PreShower et le calorimètre. Ces informations sont combinées dans une analyse multivariable. La stratégie de contrôle des performances du discriminateur directement à partir des données est discutée et cet outil est appliqué à la recherche des états finals B to hh pi 0. Une recherche similaire des modes de désintégration B{d,s} to KShh, où h peut être un pion ou un kaon chargé a été conduite. Ce mode de désintégration permet de mesurer la phase faible du mélange des mésons Bd ou Bs et la comparaison de ces déterminations avec celles extraites des modes charmonia peut permettre de mettre en évidence une phase faible au-delà du Modèle Standard dans l'amplitude de désintégration. La première étape de cette analyse consiste à établir les signaux des modes non encore observés B{s} to KShh. Ce travail exploratoire présente la première observation du mode B{s} to KSK pi. / This thesis describes an exploratory work on three-body charmless neutral $B$ mesons decays containing either a $K_S$ or a $\pi^0$. The events are reconstructed with the LHCb spectrometer installed at Cern (Geneva, CH) recording the proton-proton collisions delivered by the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The phenomenology of such modes is rich and covers the possibility to measure all angles of the unitarity triangle linked to the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix. The single example of the $\gamma$ measurement is explored in this document. The LHC accelerator and the most relevant sub-detector elements of the LHCb spectrometer are described in details. In particular, emphasis is given to the calorimetry system for which the calibration and alignment of the PreShower (PRS) of the electromagnetic calorimeter has been performed. We used particles at minimum ionisation deposit for such a task. The calibration results until year 2011 are reported as well as the method of the PS alignment with respect to the tracking system of the spectrometer. A method to discriminate high energy $\pi^0$ and photon is introduced, based on electromagnetic cascade information combined into a multivariate analysis. The strategy to evaluate the performance is given and the tool is applied to the exploratory search of $B \to hh\pi^0$ final states. Additionally, we conducted a similar search for the modes $B_{d,s} \to K_Shh$, where $h$ can be either a charged kaon or a pion. The physics reach of such modes lies in the possibility of measuring the $\beta$ and $\beta_s$ CKM angles to be compared to their charmonia extraction. Differences in between these two determinations can be the sign of New Physics. The first step of this search is to establish the unobserved modes $B_{s} \to K_Shh$. We report in a fifth of the data 2011 statistics the first observation of the decay channel $B_{s} \to K_SK\pi$.

Os requisitos mínimos para uma geração dinâmica bem sucedida de assimetria bariônica, conhecidos como condições de Sakharov, são: não conservação de número bariônico, violação de simetria CP e ausência de equilíbrio térmico. Para mostrar que mecanismos seesaw respeitam estas regras, reviso alguns tópicos como: a violação de número bariônico através do processo de sphalerons, a teoria de violação de CP através de invariantes de base fraca e a mecânica estatística de não equilíbrio através da equação de Boltzmann. Como exemplo considero um cenário de mecanismo seesaw tipo I (3+3) com massas de neutrinos estéreis altamente hierárquicas. A assimetria observada impõe um limite inferior na massa dos neutrinos estéreis ($M_1 \geq 8.4 \times 10^{8} \; \text{GeV}$) e um limite superior na massa dos neutrinos ativos ($m_1 < 0.11 \; \text{eV}$), consistente com limites previamente obtidos na literatura / Abstract: In this dissertation I analyse how a class of models suggested to accommodate massive neutrinos in the standard model, the so-called seesaw mechanisms, can also solve the baryon asymmetry of the universe problem. The minimal requisites to a successful dynamical generation of baryon asymmetry, known as Sakharov's conditions, are: Non-conservation of baryon number, violation of CP symmetry and absence of thermal equilibrium. To show that seesaw mechanisms respect those rules, I review some topics such as: the standard model baryon non-conservation via sphalerons process, the theory of CP violation via weak-basis invariants and non-equilibrium statistical physics via Boltzmann equation. As a example I consider a type I (3+3) seesaw mechanism scenario with highly hierarchical sterile neutrino masses and the observed asymmetry impose a lower bound in the sterile neutrino masses ($M_1 \geq 8.4 \times 10^{8} \; \text{GeV}$) and a upper bound in the active neutrino masses ($m_1 < 0.11 \; \text{eV}$), consistent with limits previously obtained in the literature / Mestrado / Física / Mestre em Física / 1370441/2014 / CAPES

[pt] ESTUDOS DE SENSIBILIDADE PARA VIOLAÇÃO DE CARGA-PARIDADE NOS DECAIMENTOS D+ -> K-K+Π+ E D+ -> Π-Π+Π+ NO EXPERIMENTO LHCB / [en] SENSITIVITY STUDIES FOR CHARGE-PARITY VIOLATION IN THE DECAYS D+ -> K-K+Π+ AND D+ -> Π-Π+Π+ IN THE LHCB EXPERIMENT

LUCAS NICHOLAS FALCAO FERREIRA 11 January 2022 (has links)
[pt] Na última década, desde o início do funcionamento do LHC, o Modelo Padrão de física de partículas vem sendo posto à prova com precisão sem precedentes, com enorme êxito. Um de seus experimentos é o LHCb, dedicado à física dos hádrons contendo os quarks beauty e charm. Um dos importantes temas de pesquisa do LHCb é o estudo de efeitos de assimetria partícula-antipartícula em processos de decaimento, devido à chamada violação de Carga-Paridade (CP). A violação de CP é prevista pelo Modelo Padrão e, em decaimentos envolvendo o quark charm, pode ocorrer em certos processos chamados de suprimidos por Cabibbo. No entanto, este efeito é muito pequeno, da ordem de 0.1 porcento. Esta pequenez faz com que o ambiente de decaimentos charmosos seja atraente para busca por física além do Modelo Padrão. O objetivo deste trabalho é o estudo de sensibilidade para violação de CP nos canais D+ -> K- K+π+ e D+ -> π- π+π+: no run II do LHCb. Através de uma representação do espaço de fase desses decaimentos, chamado de Dalitz Plot, e a utilização do método de Mirandizing, que se baseia em procurar significâncias locais na diferença da distribuição de eventos no Dalitz Plot de partícula e antipartícula, pode-se buscar por assimetrias de carga que indicariam efeitos de violação de CP nestes decaimentos. Baseando-se nas estatísticas dos dados tomados entre 2016 e 2018 no LHCb, foram desenvolvidos pseudoexperimentos, via método de Monte Carlo, visando reproduzir a dinâmica dos dados reais, e inserindo pequenos efeitos de violação de CP. Verificamos que há sensibilidade para a violação de CP com efeitos da ordem de 10-3 em algumas situações, que condiz com as expectativas do Modelo Padrão, o que indica a possibilidade de observação de violação de CP nos dados reais do run II. / [en] In the last decade, since the beginning of the operation of the LHC, the Standard Model of particle physics has been tested with unprecedented precision, with enormous success. One of its experiment is LHCb, dedicated to the physics of hadrons containing the beauty and charm quarks. One of the important research topics of the LHCb is the study of the effects of particle-antiparticle asymmetry in decay processes, due to the so-called charge-parity violation (CP). CP violation is predicted by the Standard Model and, in decays involving the charm quark, it can occur in certain processes called Cabibbo-suppressed. However, this effect is very small, of the order of 0.1 percent. This smallness makes the environment of charm decays attractive to search for physics beyond the Standard Model. The aim of this work is the study of sensitivity for CP violation in the channels D+ -> K-K+π+ and D+ -> π-π+π+ in run II of the LHCb. Through the phase space of these decays, called Dalitz Plot, and the use of the Mirandizing method, which is based on looking for local significance in the difference in the distribution of events for particle and antiparticle Dalitz Plots, one can seek for local asymmetries that would indicate effects of CP violation in these decays. Based on the data statistics taken between 2016 and 2018 at the LHCb, pseudo experiments were performed, using the Monte Carlo method, aiming to reproduce the dynamics of real data, and inserting small effects of CP violation. We found that there is sensitivity for CP violation with effects of the order of 10−3 in some situations, which is the expected level predicted by the Standard Model, indicating a possibility for observing CP violation in the real data from run II.

Analyse diagrammatique des désintégrations de type B vers PPP sans quarks charmés

Rey-Le Lorier, Nicolas 08 1900 (has links)
Ce mémoire présente l’application de la méthode de décomposition en termes de diagrammes aux désintégrations de mésons B vers trois mésons de type pseudos- calaire ne comportant pas de quarks charmés. La décomposition diagrammatique des désintégrations de types B → Kππ, B → KKK ̄, B → KK ̄π et B → πππ est effectuée de façon systématique. Il est démontré que lorsque l’on néglige les dia- grammes d’échanges et d’annihilations, dont les contributions sont estimées être petites, de nouvelles relations apparaissent entre les amplitudes. Ces relations sont de nouveaux tests du modèle standard qui ne peuvent être obtenus que par la méthode diagrammatique. Lorsque les données nécessaires sont disponibles, nous vérifions ces relations et obtenons un bon accord avec les données expérimentales. Nous démontrons également qu’il est possible d’utiliser le secteur B → Kππ pour mesurer la phase faible γ avec une incertitude théorique que nous estimons être de l’ordre de 5%. Les autres secteurs de désintégrations ne permettent d’extraire des phases faibles que si l’on invoque des approximations de précisions inconnues. / This Master’s thesis presents the application of the method of decomposition in terms of diagrams to the charmless decays of B mesons to three pseudoscalar particles. We systematically apply the diagrammatic method to the decays B → Kππ, B → KKK ̄, B → KK ̄π and B → πππ. It is shown that when we neglect exchange and annihilation diagrams, whose contributions have been estimated to be small, new relations appear between the decay amplitudes. These relations constitute new tests of the standard model that can only be obtained through the diagrammatic method. When the necessary data is available, we verify these relations and obtain a good agreement with the experimental results. We also show that it is possible use observables in the B → Kππ sector to measure the weak phase γ with a theoretical uncertainty of the order of 5%. Other decay sectors can only allow the extraction of weak phases through the use of approximations of unknown precision.

Recherche de nouvelle physique dans le canal B⁰ → J/ψφ auprès de l’expérience LHCb

Khanji, Basem 16 September 2011 (has links)
Dans le Modèle Standard, la différence de phase apparaissant dans la désintégration B0s --> J/psi phi est prèdite avec une grande précision. Cette observable est une sonde pour mettre en évidence de la Nouvelle Physique car l’oscillation B0s -B0sbar s’effectue via un diagramme en boucles sensible à la nouvelles particules. Nous avons développé une sélection simplifiée pour les données de 2010. Elle évite tous biais sur la distribution en temps propre afin de réduire l’incertitude systématique. De plus, nous contrôlons les performances d’étiquetage pour les événements B0s --> J/psi phi en utilisant les canaux similaires B0d--> J/psi K*0 et B+ --> J/psi K+. Avec les données de 2010, nous obtenons 570 événements de signal avec une luminosité intégré de 36 pb&#8722;1, une puissance de d’étiquetage de (2, 2 ± 0, 4)% et une résolution temporelle de 50 fs. Nous avons étudié une sélection alternative, qui maximise la sensibilité à la phase phis en utilisant des coupures biasant le temp propre. Nous avons proposé une méthode pour corriger la déformation de temps propre à partir des données. Nous avons développé un programme d’ajustement pour déterminer la phase phis. Avec les données 2010, la valeur touvée est phis = [&#8722;2, 7,&#8722;0, 5] rad à 68% de confiance. Ce résultat est compatible avec la prédiction du Modèle Standard. / In the PsB $to$ PJpsi $phi$ channel, the phase difference phis between decays with and without oscillation is predicted to be significantly small in the SM. Furthermore, the PsB-PasB mixing phenomena takes place via a loop diagram. These two reasons makes the phis parameter an excellent probe for New Physics processes. We developed a simplified selection for the 2010 data. It avoids any bias on the proper time distribution in order to reduce systematic uncertainty. In addition, we control the tagging performance for PsB $to$ PJpsi $phi$ events using the similar $PBdtoPJpsiPKstar^0$ and $PButoPJpsiPKplus$ channels. With the 2010 data, we obtain $570$ signal events in $36invpb$ of integrated luminosity, a tagging power of $(2.2pm 0.4)%$ and a proper time resolution of $50fs$. We investigated an alternative selection which is designed to maximize the phis sensitivity using a proper time biasing cuts. We proposed a data-driven method to correct the proper time acceptance. We designed a fitting program to determine the phis phase. Using fast Monte Carlo simulation we validated the fitter program, determine the LHCb sensitivity to the phis phase and advise the use of interval estimate at low signal yield. We reviewed the first determination of the phis phase by the LHCb collaboration. It is found to be: $phis in [-2.7,-0.5] rad ~ {rm at~68%~CL}$. This result is compatible with the Standard Model prediction.
