Description

At 17:30 on Friday 22nd August LHCb reconstructed in its Vertex Locator (VELO) the first particles from interactions of the LHC beam. The observation was made during an LHC synchronization test. This test collided the proton beam with an absorber 200m from LHCb. The resulting particles from the very first event were reconstructed in the LHCb VELO.
