Abstract

The huge cross section at the LHC makes it possible to collect large samples of B hadrons. This allows for the detailed study of CP violating asymmetries, and hunt for rare decays. The LHCb detector is a dedicated B-physics experiment aimed at meeting the challenges involved. After introducing the experiment and the status of its construction, an overview of the expected performance is given, highlighting a few physics modes.
