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…
Charge collection properties of prototype sensors for the LHCb VELO upgrade
R. Geertsema, K. Akiba, M. van Beuzekom +20
An extensive sensor testing campaign is presented, dedicated to measuring the charge collection properties of prototype candidates for the Vertex Locator (VELO) detector for the up…
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…
The HeRSCheL detector: high-rapidity shower counters for LHCb
K. Carvalho Akiba, F. Alessio, N. Bondar +19
The HeRSCheL detector consists of a set of scintillating counters, designed to increase the coverage of the LHCb experiment in the high-rapidity regions on either side of the main…
Performance of the LHCb Vertex Locator
LHCb VELO Group, R. Aaij, A. Affolder +101
The Vertex Locator (VELO) is a silicon microstrip detector that surrounds the proton-proton interaction region in the LHCb experiment. The performance of the detector during the fi…
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…
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…
