Description

I present an overview of the proposed alignment strategy for the Ring Imaging Cherenkov Detectors in the LHCb experiment. Small misalignments of optical components in the detectors can be determined from data and corrected for in the event reconstruction. Techniques to achieve this were validated on RICH Testbeam data. Simulated LHCb data was then used to determine the effects of individual misaligned components in order that an effective and efficient overall alignment strategy can be formed.
