LHCb: The Music of Mixing: 5 minute explanation.

Date: 2013-08-27

Matter-antimatter quantum music!

A simplified explanation of the basic principles which go together to explain the phenomenon of particle-antiparticle mixing, and describe what is being heard in the sonification of some recent LHCb data. Here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zpfs2g2ER-c

For more details, take a look at the paper preprint, where the methods used to obtain these data are described. LHCb-PAPER-2013-036, http://cds.cern.ch/record/1567090, http://arxiv.org/abs/1308.1302
