Description
The LHCb VELO detector consists of two halves, each equipped with 21 sensor
stations. Each station consists of a Carbon Fibre support and a double-sided hybrid
module equipped with 32 Beetle readout chips and R and Phi measuring sensors. The
modules are designed to operate in a vacuum, transfer 32 watts to the cooling system
whilst maintaining the silicon at –7 degrees and provide mechanical alignment and
stability at the level of 10um. The design and the development steps leading to
production modules will be described.
