Oral Contribution
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.
