Performance of the LHCb muon system
نویسندگان
چکیده
The performance of the LHCb Muon system and its stability across the full 2010 data taking with LHC running at √ s = 7 TeV energy is studied. The optimization of the detector setting and the time calibration performed with the first collisions delivered by LHC is described. Particle rates, measured for the wide range of luminosities and beam operation conditions experienced during the run, are compared with the values expected from simulation. The space and time alignment of the detectors, chamber efficiency, time resolution and cluster size are evaluated. The detector performance is found to be as expected from specifications or better. Notably the overall efficiency is well above the design requirements.

First results from an aging test of a prototype RPC for the LHCb Muon System
Recent results of an aging test performed at the CERN Gamma Irradiation Facility on a single–gap RPC prototype developed for the LHCb Muon System are presented. The results are based on an accumulated charge of about 0.45 C/cm, corresponding to about 4 years of LHCb running at the highest background rate. The performance of the chamber has been studied under several photon flux values exploitin...
متن کاملPreliminary results of an aging test of RPC chambers for the LHCb Muon System
The preliminary results of an aging test performed at the CERN Gamma Irradiation Facility on a single-gap RPC prototype developed for the LHCb Muon System are presented. The results are based on an accumulated charge density of 0:42 C=cm; corresponding to about 4 years of LHCb running at the highest background rate. We observe a rise in the dark current and noise measured with source off. The c...
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...
متن کاملLHCb Level-0 Trigger Detectors
The calorimeter and muon systems are essential components to provide a trigger for the LHCb experiment. The calorimeter system comprises a scintillating pad detector and pre-shower, followed by electromagnetic and hadronic calorimeters. The calorimeter system allows photons, electrons and hadrons to be identified, and their energy to bemeasured. Themuon system consists of five measuring station...
