Design of the LHCb Silicon Tracker∗
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 strip pitches of approximately 200 μm will be employed. For the readout, a custom developed front-end chip and a Gbit digital optical link will be used. The design of detector, silicon sensors and readout link is presented.

Tracking and Alignment Performance of the LHCb silicon detectors
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 momen...

متن کاملEMULATION AND CALIBRATION OF THE SALT READ-OUT CHIP FOR THE UPSTREAM TRACKER FOR MODERNISED LHCb DETECTOR∗
The LHCb is one of the four major experiments currently operating at CERN. The main reason for constructing the LHCb forward spectrometer was a precise measurement of the CP violation in heavy quarks section as well as search for a New Physics. To obtain interesting results, the LHCb is mainly focused on study of B meson decays. Unfortunately, due to the present data acquisition architecture, t...
متن کاملPerformance 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 کاملMeasurement of Bc Mass and Lifetime at LHCb
The potential of measuring the B + c mass and lifetime in LHCb using B + c → J/ψπ + channel is studied. With an integrated luminosity of 1 fb −1 collected at √ s = 14 TeV in LHCb nominal condition, 310 events are expected with B/S less than 2. The statistical errors for mass and lifetime measurement are around 2 MeV/c 2 and 30 fs respectively. LHCb is a forward detector dedicated to precise b p...
