Description
The plans for the upgrade of the LHCb experiment will be presented.
The LHCb experiment plans to upgrade from its nominal instantaneous luminosity of 2x10^32 cm^-2s^-1 to around a factor of ten higher. The key elements of the upgrade will be a displaced vertex trigger at the initial level of triggering and a radiation hard vertex detector.
An overview of the changes required to the full experiment will be presented, concentrating particularly on the requirements for the replacement vertex detector . A particle fluence in excess of 10^15 1 MeV neutron equivalents / cm^2 is anticipated for the inner active strips or pixels of the upgraded vertex detector.
