Tracking and Alignment Performance of the LHCb silicon detectors
نویسنده
چکیده
The LHCb experiment is primarily dedicated to the study of new physics through the heavy flavour decays. The tracking system of LHCb is composed of a silicon micro-strip vertex detector, two silicon strip tracker detectors and a set of straw-tube drift chambers in front of and behind a dipole generating a magnetic field. This system provides precise measure of the vertex position and high momentum resolution. The performances of the silicon tracking subdetectors in terms of hit resolution and detector efficiencies, as well as the overall track reconstruction performance and the alignment status, are reported.

Performance of the LHCb Detector during 2010-2011 data taking
The status and performance of the LHCb detector during the physics LHC physics run is described. The LHCb detector has a number of notable features including: 12 micron resolution in the transverse plane on 30-35 track primary vertices, pion and kaon separation from 1 to 100 GeV, and 1 MHz full readout of all subsystems. The detector is being operating above its design luminosity and is compris...
متن کاملDesign of the LHCb Silicon Tracker∗
The LHCb Silicon Tracker is a large-surface silicon micro-strip detector that will cover an important part of the LHCb tracking system. Its data will be used in the trigger to select high-pT daughter particles from B-meson decays, and in the offline analysis to reconstruct trajectories of charged particles in the very forward region of the detector. Readout strips of up to 38 cm in length with ...
متن کاملTracking and Alignment of the LHCb detector
The LHCb experiment is designed to study B-decays at the LHC. This purpose is achieved by means of an outstanding track momentum resolution and excellent particle identification. The performance of the detector exceeds expectations, and the physics program of the collaboration is extended to the study of charm decays, QCD and electroweak physics. Both tracking and alignment play a key role for ...
متن کاملSilicon Detectors for the sLHC - an Overview of Recent RD 50 Results
It is foreseen to significantly increase the luminosity of the Large Hadron Collider(LHC) at CERN around 2018 by upgrading the LHC towards the sLHC (Super-LHC). Due to the radiation damage to the silicon detectors used, the physics experiment will require new tracking detectors for sLHC operation. All-silicon central trackers are being studied in ATLAS, CMS and LHCb, with extremely radiation ha...
