Selection strategy
1. Preselection to reduce background → using standard LHCb applications (DaVinci and LoKi)
2. Remove specific backgrounds → using a single cut
3. Tune remaining cuts against generic background→ using an optimisation tool

Conclusions
• Different track reconstruction algorithms developed for the different track types (e.g. the matching algorithm).• The LHCb experiment provides an efficient track reconstruction of 94% with a ghost rate of 8% (p>5 GeV).• LHCb has an excellent spatial (42 um) and momentum resolutions (0.35%) at the interaction point.• Three-step event selection for Bs→Dsπ and Bs→DsK provides a sufficient background reduction.• After 1 year of running LHCb can measure Δms up to 88 ps-1 and γ-2χ with an error of 15.2º.
