Alignment of the LHCb Vertex Locator and lifetime measurements of two-body hadronic final states

Lifetime measurements offer excellent opportunities for precision tests of the Standard Model of Particle Physics as well as for discovery of effects involving particles beyond the Standard Model. This thesis presents a method for measurements of lifetimes and lifetime ratios and its application to...
