Vertex detector

the group is working on three generations of the LHCb vertex detector

  • The original VELO collecting data at CERN. Information on how this is built can be found here
  • The replacement of the VELO with an almost identical detector that will enable LHCb to operate for many years
  • Studies on possible new detector that will allow LHCb to take data at a high rate. survive higher radiation doses and provide a Level-0 displaced vertex trigger.
