Abstract

A study was conducted to demonstrate the diagnostics of creation and decay of B-mesons in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) by using petawatt laser pulses of picosecond duration. The study found that the fine structure of the time dependence and the degree of dependence of the polarization direction of the decay products can be detected by the acceleration processes of nonlinear forces in the laser focus and the colliding area. The study observed that the use of LHCb detector before the other detectors can provide excellent measurement about Higgs particles and others. The study also observed that for laser interaction with heavier charged B-meson or other heavy charged particles only PW laser pulses need to be used. Boreham and co-workers measured the emission of electrons from the cylindrical focus of a neodymium glass laser beam with axial intensity in low density helium.
