Studies of Short-Lived Kaon Decays at LHCb

The decay of the short-lived Kaon, or K-short, into a positron-electron pair will be analyzed using Monte Carlo Simulations with parameters from the 2024 LHCb-like detector and the suite of High Level Trigger 2 (HLT2) programs provided by the Large Hadron Collider Beauty (LHCb) collaboration. Interest will be given to the K_s⁰ --> e⁺ + e^- mass histogram, which has not been measured before within the LHCb. Moreover, the K_s⁰ --> e⁺ + e^- decay could also prove to be a probe into beyond standard model physics. Some theory will be discussed to provide context to the completed work along with the process of generating a mass histogram of the decay of interest.
