Status of the LHCb Experiment
نویسنده
چکیده
We present the status of the LHCb experiment which will make precision measurements of CP violation in B meson decays. The motivation for the experiment and an overview of the detector design are given. The vertex detector, ring imaging Cherenkov counter, calorimeters, and trigger systems are discussed in detail. We also present the expected physics performance for selected modes. Presented at 7th International Conference on B-Physics at Hadron Machines, (BEAUTY2000), Sep 2000, Kibbutz Maagan, Israel. Submitted to Nuclear Instruments and Methods A. This presentation is dedicated to Tom Ypsilantis, 1928 2000. E-mail: [email protected]

Status and expected performance of the LHCb experiment
LHCb is a dedicated b-physics experiment at the future LHC collider. Its construction has started and it will be ready to take data from the start of LHC operation, scheduled in 2007, and directly at its full physics potential. LHCb will benefit from an unprecedented source of b-hadrons, provided by LHC, to improve substantially precision measurements of CP violation parameters in many differen...
متن کاملLHCb status and charm physics program
LHCb is a dedicated flavor physics experiment that will observe the 14TeV proton–proton collisions at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Construction of the LHCb detector is near completion, commissioning of the detector is well underway, and LHCb will be fully operational and ready to take data in advance of the projected May 2008 turn-on date for the LHC. The LHCb software trigger will featu...

متن کاملStatus and prospects of the LHCb Vertex Locator
The Vertex Locator of the LHCb experiment is a dedicated subdetector for the reconstruction of primary and secondary vertices in b-hadron decays. The vertex detector features two halves with 21 modules each, mounted on retractable bases. Each module consists of two half-disk silicon micro-strip sensors measuring hits in R and Φ coordinates. The strip pitch ranges from 40 to about 100 μm. A vacu...
متن کاملTracking 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...
