Abstract: The vertex detectors of the four large LHC experiments have been developed and constructed over several years. Their size and complexity have presented many challenges that had to be addressed in order to comply with the physics requirements. This presentation will give an overview of the vertex detectors installed in ALICE, ATLAS, CMS and LHCb and summarize some key parameters. Special emphasis will be laid on the silicon pixel detectors used in the different experiments. Specific aspects like material budget constraints, the solutions chosen to comply with the radiation environment and integration tasks will be discussed Detector Seminar webpage Organizer: Ariella CATTAI / PH-ADO
