Measurement of the B- lifetime using a simulation free approach for trigger bias correction

This analysis uses an innovative data-driven method to compensate for trigger-induced biases that would otherwise dominate the systematic uncertainty in such measurements. Rademacker developed this method. He also implemented it, wrote the vast majority of the analysis code, and performed most of the analysis. After Rademacker had left the Oxford group, the measurement was finalised by a PhD student in close collaboration with Rademacker. The method Rademacker developed is now used in similar analyses at LHCb.
