Description
The LHCb experiment will undergo a complete upgrade during the second long shutdown of the LHC. The detector closest to the interaction region, the Vertex Locator (VELO), will be removed and replaced with a new design. The new VELO will sit closer to the interaction point and be capable of a full 40 MHz hardware readout which will drastically increase the physics reach of LHCb, leading us from the discovery towards the precision era. This presentation will discuss the aim, design, testing and current status of the VELO Upgrade.
