asymmetries associated to Bd <strong>and</strong> Bs mesons respectively. The measurement from D0 shows a<br />

<strong>de</strong>viation from the SM by 3.2 st<strong>and</strong>ard <strong>de</strong>viations (figure 20). CDF is also investigating this<br />

asymmetry but with an expected larger uncertainty due to their impossibility to revert the magnetic<br />

field to control systematic effects. At LHC similar measurements will give sensitivity to the<br />

difference a d - a s (figure 20) due to the different initial state.<br />

Figure 20: Charge asymmetry in inclusive semi-leptonic B <strong>de</strong>cays measured by D0 (red b<strong>and</strong>)<br />

compared to the SM prediction (black square) <strong>and</strong> the LHCb prospects (blue b<strong>and</strong>).<br />

Ultra-rare B <strong>de</strong>cays, e.g. Bs → μ + μ - whose branching ratio is below 10 -9 in the SM, are also a<br />

promising field to <strong>de</strong>tect new physics at hadron colli<strong>de</strong>rs. The upper limit obtained by LHCb on this<br />

channel is already competitive with Tevatron, though still a factor 10 above the SM prediction.<br />

5 Outlook<br />

In <strong>2011</strong> more than 1 fb -1 of pp collisions are expected to be collected by the LHC experiments,<br />

whereas the Tevatron is scheduled to stop data taking at the end of the year. On the short term a<br />

lively competition between the two colli<strong>de</strong>rs is expected for Higgs hunting <strong>and</strong> searches for<br />

anomalous top <strong>and</strong> B physics.
