Luminosity u. LHCb was designed for single collision crossings n Worries l We even intended to reject multiple interaction at level 0 trigger… n Design u. We of ambiguities to assign the B to the proper primary vertex luminosity 2 10 32 cm-2 s-1 for ~2700 colliding bunches found that higher collision rate was OK n We now run at 4 1032 cm-2 s-1 with only 1262 colliding bunches l 50 ns separation between bunches, 25 ns nominal and from 2015. l This means 4 times more collisions per crossing than in the design l The average number of visible collisions per crossing is ~1. 8 èHigher occupancy in the detector èMore challenging for the trigger, see later n The luminosity is kept constant thanks to the ‘luminosity levelling’ l The beam separation is adjusted a few times per hour to maintain the luminosity constant. l Routine operation since 2011 Olivier Callot HCP 2012 : LHCb detector status and upgrade 12 November 2012 11

Global performance u. Data taking is very efficient n Minor losses due to HV not OK, or Velo not in working position n 2. 4% dead time, due to some hardware devices n “DAQ” is in fact a lot of short stops to give a “kick” to some systems Olivier Callot HCP 2012 : LHCb detector status and upgrade 12 November 2012 14
Reconstruction performance u. Momentum resolution excellent n From 0. 4% at 5 Ge. V to 0. 6 % at 100 Ge. V/c n Important ingredient to study narrow states n Momentum scale OK, checked by comparing the mass of B mesons to the PDG values. J/Ψ → μμ : σ ≈ 15 Me. V/c² Olivier Callot Υ(1 S) → μμ : σ ≈ 54 Me.

Integrated luminosity u. Well Olivier Callot on track for over 2 pb-1 this year! HCP 2012 : LHCb detector status and upgrade 12 November 2012 17
The LHCb upgrade u. The (installation in 2018) current main limitation is the L 0 trigger n Rate limited to 1 MHz (in practice ~950 k. Hz) due to the readout time of the front-end l 36 n The clock cycles -> 900 ns main hadronic trigger is based on HCAL clusters l Threshold is high, to decrease the rate to ~700 k. Hz l About half the interesting B decays are lost. u. Basic upgrade strategy: Remove the L 0 trigger n Readout the events at 40 MHz n Implement a fast software trigger to select events based on their topology l Gain a factor 2 in efficiency on hadronic channels l Improve the detectors to provide a fast reconstruction Olivier Callot HCP 2012 : LHCb detector status and upgrade 12 November 2012 18
Consequence u. All front-end electronics has to be redone n Change in output rate requirement l No more pipe-line or buffers locally l A lot more optical links, of a newer generation u. Rebuild chips the detectors with embedded front-end n Silicon strip detectors, i. e. Velo, TT, IT n RICH photo-detectors (front-end chip inside the HPD) u. Target luminosity n Similar value of pile up (µ=2) but twice the number of bunches n Initial target : 10 1032 cm-2 s-1 , i. e. 2. 5 times the current value l Factor ~10 in the yield of hadronic channels (14 / 7 Te. V helps) 32 -2 s-1 and prepare the detectors for it. Foresee to run at 20 10 HCP 2012 : LHCb detectorcm status and upgrade 12 November 2012 n. Callot Olivier 19
New detectors u. Two options for the Velo n Upgraded micro strip detector l Similar overall geometry, 20% more channels per sensor, smaller pitch and thickness n Pixel detector l 53 x 53 µm 2 cells l ~780 k channels per module l 50 modules è 40 millions pixels… Olivier Callot HCP 2012 : LHCb detector status and upgrade 12 November 2012 20
Proposed layout of the Pixel detector Olivier Callot HCP 2012 : LHCb detector status and upgrade 12 November 2012 21
Tracking stations u. TT similar but improved n Better coverage by overlapping sensors and getting closer to the beam pipe n Less material with thinner sensors Olivier Callot HCP 2012 : LHCb detector status and upgrade 12 November 2012 22
Main tracking stations (after magnet) u. Two options for the T stations n Similar to the current detector, with an increased Inner Tracker l Outer Tracker straw tubes are sensitive to spill-over from the previous and next crossings, as the drift time is around 40 ns. èThis will be the case with 25 ns crossing period. l Increasing IT will decrease the occupancy in OT by a factor~2, to reach similar levels as the current ones. l IT made thinner and lighter è 4 times more channels Olivier Callot HCP 2012 : LHCb detector status and upgrade 12 November 2012 23
u. Scintillating n 2. 5 fibres m long fibres, 5 layers of 0. 25 mm diameter n Readout by Si. PM with readout cells 0. 25 x 1. 32 mm n Similar geometry as now (reuse of supports) l 3 stations, 4 layers each l But less material in acceptance n R&D ongoing to validate this option l Radiation hardness of Si. PM èNeed dedicated shielding, low temperature… èNoise reduction by cluster shape analysis in front end l Accuracy of the fibre mechanics èNeed to keep the fibre straight to ~50 µm and flat to ~200 µm over 2. 5 m! Olivier Callot HCP 2012 : LHCb detector status and upgrade 12 November 2012 24
RICH u. Replace the HPD by MAPMT u. Remove the aerogel radiator n Limited use in a very dense environment n Decrease dead material. u. Studies on-going to improve the optics n Reduce the number of MAPMT (cost…) n Better resolution n Less magnetic field to be shielded where the MAPMT will be u. More fancy proposal also investigated n TORCH detector (time of flight with quartz bars to ~15 ps, for low momentum particles) for ~2020 Olivier Callot HCP 2012 : LHCb detector status and upgrade 12 November 2012 25
Calorimeter and muon u. No major change needed n The electronics of the calorimeter should be remade, but will stay very similar, only the output stage will change n M 1 will be removed as we don’t need a L 0 Muon any longer n The muon electronics will stay as is, as for the L 0 Muon the readout works already at 40 MHz. u. Possible n The improvements central part of M 2 may become GEM instead of MWPC l Handles n Electronics l Dead Olivier Callot more rate may be re-implemented to be safe at 20 1032 cm-2 s-1 time due to long signals HCP 2012 : LHCb detector status and upgrade 12 November 2012 26
Trigger u. Suppress the L 0 n In fact one can keep it at the beginning as a “Low Level Trigger” to minimize the load on the CPU farm l But no longer limited to 1 MHz u. Implement a very fast software trigger n 30 MHz input implies that every millisecond requires 30, 000 copies of the code running in parallel n Tune the detector (and readout) to be fast l Pixel seems better than strips for the Velo l Fibre Tracker seems better than IT + OT n Investigate l GPU, n We new trends in computing large number of core, … need a factor 30 compared to the current system! l We expect ~10 from the computing industry… l We need to find a factor 3 in our code ! Olivier Callot HCP 2012 : LHCb detector status and upgrade 12 November 2012 27

High statistics available, a lot of results expected n Many already published, see Burkhard’s talk just after this. l And a special talk by Johannes after l See also parallel sessions : Tom (SUSY), Andrea (QCD), Kurt (EW) , Johannes, Mika, Stefania and Angelo (Heavy Flavour) n Expect l And u. The than 2012 will give more than twice 2011 statistics… we will continue to take data at the same rate from 2015 upgrade program is progressing n Get up to 20 times more hadronic events per second ! n Challenging, but realistic Olivier Callot HCP 2012 : LHCb detector status and upgrade 12 November 2012 28
