The LHCb VELO Upgrade Module Construction
K. Akiba, M. Alexander, C. Bertella +84
The LHCb detector has undergone a major upgrade for LHC Run 3. This Upgrade I detector facilitates operation at higher luminosity and utilises full-detector information at the LHC…
Microchannel cooling for the LHCb VELO Upgrade I
Oscar Augusto De Aguiar Francisco, Wiktor Byczynski, Kazu Akiba +57
The LHCb VELO Upgrade I, currently being installed for the 2022 start of LHC Run 3, uses silicon microchannel coolers with internally circulating bi-phase \cotwo for thermal contro…
Timing performance of the LHCb VELO Timepix3 Telescope
K. Heijhoff, K. Akiba, M. van Beuzekom +13
We performed a detailed study of the timing performance of the LHCb VELO Timepix3 Telescope with a 180 GeV/c mixed hadron beam at the CERN SPS. A twofold method was developed to im…
The Upgrade I of LHCb VELO -- towards an intelligent monitoring platform
P. Kopciewicz, T. Szumlak, M. Majewski +63
The Large Hadron Collider beauty (LHCb) detector is designed to detect decays of b- and c- hadrons for the study of CP violation and rare decays. At the end of the LHC Run 2, many…
LHCb VELO Timepix3 Telescope
Kazu Akiba, Martin van Beuzekom, Henk Boterenbrood +30
The LHCb VELO Timepix3 telescope is a silicon pixel tracking system constructed initially to evaluate the performance of LHCb VELO Upgrade prototypes. The telesope consists of eigh…
Mapping the material in the LHCb vertex locator using secondary hadronic interactions
M. Alexander, W. Barter, A. Bay +63
Precise knowledge of the location of the material in the LHCb vertex locator (VELO) is essential to reducing background in searches for long-lived exotic particles, and in identify…
The Timepix Telescope for High Performance Particle Tracking
Kazuyoshi Akiba, Per Arne Ronning, Martin van Beuzekom +32
The Timepix particle tracking telescope has been developed as part of the LHCb VELO Upgrade project, supported by the Medipix Collaboration and the AIDA framework. It is a primary…
Radiation damage in the LHCb Vertex Locator
A. Affolder, K. Akiba, M. Alexander +48
The LHCb Vertex Locator (VELO) is a silicon strip detector designed to reconstruct charged particle trajectories and vertices produced at the LHCb interaction region. During the fi…
The OPFOS microscopy family: High-resolution optical-sectioning of biomedical specimens
Jan A. N. Buytaert, Emilie Descamps, Dominique Adriaens +1
We report on the recently emerging (Laser) Light Sheet based Fluorescence Microscopy field (LSFM). The techniques used in this field allow to study and visualize biomedical objects…
Charged Particle Tracking with the Timepix ASIC
Kazuyoshi Akiba, Marina Artuso, Ryan Badman +39
A prototype particle tracking telescope has been constructed using Timepix and Medipix ASIC hybrid pixel assemblies as the six sensing planes. Each telescope plane consisted of one…
Performance of the LHCb Vertex Detector Alignment Algorithm determined with Beam Test Data
M. Gersabeck, S. Viret, C. Parkes
LHCb is the dedicated heavy flavour experiment at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. The partially assembled silicon vertex locator (VELO) of the LHCb experiment has been tested in…
