Description
The LHCb Scintillating Fibre Tracker is a detector designed for a further step into operating at the higher luminosities foreseen at the LHC in order to increase the size of data sets and reduce the statistical uncertainties of already world best measurements. LHCb is currently undergoing an upgrade to operate with a 40 MHz triggerless readout of the detectors, and increase the instantaneous luminosity by a factor of five over the previous iteration. This increase of luminosity and the demands on the readout rate require a fast, light, highly granular, and robust solution that can operate in the forward direction of LHC proton-proton collisions, while being cost effective. A total sensitive detector area of nearly 340 m2 is required to instrument the acceptance on the downstream side of the LHCb magnet.
This seminar will cover the development of the Scintillating Fibre Tracker, from the early conceptual designs, through the reasoning behind design choices, and the reasons for certain technology choices. The audience will hopefully acquire some insight into the development of the current generation of detectors and benefit from some of the experience and hindsight of the Scintillating Fibre Tracker collaboration. The tracker is currently being installed underground at LHCb and will finish before the LHC beams return in 2022.
The speaker of this seminar will connect remotely, we will stream it in Niels Bohr, Schuster.
