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 planned upgrade of the LHCb detector is designed to achieve 40 MHz readout (the maximum bunch crossing rate), allowing the experiment to collect 5fb^-1 of data per year. As part of this upgrade the tracking subsystem in front of the dipole magnet will be replaced by the Upstream Tracker (UT). Data from the UT will be critical to the LHCb software trigger, allowing more rapid and reliable...

ALICE (A Large Ion Collider Experiment) is studying the physics of strongly interacting matter and in particular the properties of the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP), using proton--proton, proton--nucleus and nucleus--nucleus collisions at the CERN LHC (Large Hadron Collider). To fulfil the requirements of the ALICE physics program for run 3 of the LHC, a major upgrade of the experimental apparatus...
