Abstract
Résumé

The LHCb experiment is a particle detector located at the LHC and dedicated to b and c quark studies, in particular, the study of CP violation. The concept and the performance of the detector will be presented, together with first results of the experiment. The recorded integrated luminosity of $0.3 {fb}^{- 1}$ has allowed LHCb to obtain already significant important measurements concerning tests of the presence of New Physics effects in the decay of $B_{s}$ mesons.

Lʼexpérience LHCb est un détecteur de particules situé auprès du LHC et qui est dédié à lʼétude des quarks b et c. Le concept et les performances du détecteur seront présentés ainsi que des premiers résultats obtenus. La luminosité intégrée de $0.3 {fb}^{- 1}$ enregistrée a déjà permis à LHCb dʼobtenir des résultats importants concernant dʼéventuels signes de Nouvelle Physique dans les désintégrations des mésons $B_{s}$ .
