Description
The LHCb experiment obtained outstanding results with the data collected during last two LHC data taking periods.
An upgrade of the LHCb detector will be installed aiming for a full detector readout at 40 MHz for Run 3 and 4. To cope with the increased luminosity, the current downstream tracking system will be replaced by the the Scintillating Fibre tracker.
The SciFi tracker uses 250µm scintillating fibres densely packed and arranged in layers readout by Silicon Photo-Multipliers (SiPMs).
Each single detector has to be characterised in terms of its electrical, geometrical and optical properties. A testing facility to characterise the 5500 multichannel arrays has been developed and employed during the production testing.
