Description
The LHCb experiment has installed a high-performance Scintillating Fibre (SciFi) Tracker to enhance its tracking capabilities under the increased luminosity during Runs 3 and 4 of the LHC, a fivefold increase over Run 2. The SciFi Tracker's 11,000 km of scintillating fibres, read out by Silicon Photomultipliers (SiPMs), deliver a spatial resolution of better than 100 μm covering an acceptance of 5 x 6 m2 in 12 layers downstream of the LHCb magnet. Readout of this and all other detectors into an all-software trigger is central to the new LHCb design, facilitating real-time event reconstruction and selection at the maximum LHC interaction rate. As Run 3 progresses, the SciFi Tracker will be instrumental in achieving LHCb’s physics objectives, particularly in the study of heavy flavor physics and CP violation.
