The LHCb Vertex Locator (VELO) is a silicon strip semiconductor detector operating at just 8mm distance to the LHC beams. Its 172,000 strips are read frequency of 1.1 MHz and processed by off-detector FPGAs followed PC cluster that reduces event rate about 10 kHz. During second run LHC, which lasts from 2015 until 2018, performance will undergo continued change due radiation damage effects. This necessitates detailed monitoring data quality avoid adverse effects on physics analysis...
Vertex locator (VELO) is a silicon microstrip detector situated around the interaction point in large Hadron Collider beauty (LHCb) spectrometer at Large Collider. The LHCb experiment dedicated to studying charge conjugation and parity symmetry violation heavy flavor sector rare decays of B mesons. precise reconstruction both primary secondary vertices, obtained by VELO, crucial selection signal events containing b c quarks lifetime measurements. VELO consists two retractable parts that...
