LHCb plans an Upgrade II detector for 2034 to operate at luminosities of 1.5x1034cm−2s−1, accumulating over 300 fb−1. This will result in about 42 interactions per crossing, producing approximately 2000 charged particles within acceptance. The higher luminosity requires a new VErtex LOcator (VELO) with enhanced capabilities to handle increased data rates, radiation levels, and occupancies. New...
The solenoidal-spectrometer technique was developed at Argonne over 15 years ago and realized in the form of HELIOS; successful programs have since been established at ISOLDE with the ISS and at FRIB with SOLARIS. I will highlight a few recent developments and results, as well as possible future directions for this technique. An overarching output of the solenoidal-spectrometer programs at...
