5 LHCb Upgrade: physics motivation tree diagram loop diagrams Working hypothesis: assume that tree level diagrams are dominated by SM and loop diagrams could contain NP, lots of opportunities to pursue evidence for new physics: B s mixing observables B(s),Λ b K*l + l - CKM angle γ measured from tree mediated processes and loop mediated processes… but also: Majorana neutrinos, lepton flavor violation in τ decays..
Upgrade goals In order to reach the required sensitivity for these measurements we want a ≥ 10 increase in our data sample through: Increase nominal luminosity (1-2x10 33 cm -2 s -1 ) Increase efficiency on beauty and charm hadronic final states trigger ( ≥ 2) Schedule: R&D phase in progress and should end in 2014 Installation during long shutdown ~2018.

Tracking At L=2x10 33 cm -2 s -1 the event topology is more complex: More primary vertices Increased track multiplicity Bunch-to-bunch spillover Detector occupancy The challenge: Suppress ghost tracks (incorrect combination of track segments) low processing time in HLT (~25 ms) Maintain high track efficiency (~90% when p≥5GeV) Excellent momentum, time, and vertex resolution M.

19 The TT intermediate tracker M. Artuso WIT2012, May 4-fold purpose: Selection of high momentum tracks in an early stage of the online track trigger. Reconstruct trajectories of long-lived tracks decaying outside the VELO Track segment to ease pattern recognition and ease matching between VELO and T station track segments Reconstruction of momentum of slow particles To achieve this: use 4-6 planes of Si strip sensors with shorter strip lengths (2.5 to 10 cm) Increase acceptance at high To achieve this: use 4-6 planes of Si strip sensors with shorter strip lengths (2.5 to 10 cm) Increase acceptance at high
T Station Upgrade M. Artuso CPAD/Argonne Two options for IT replacement: Silicon strips (current technology, but lower mass and larger coverage) 250 μm Scintillating Fiber Tracker read out by SiPM A single Scintillating Fiber technology implementation for the the whole T station plane is being studied IT-fiber detector layout: 1/10/ Readout by SiPM with readout cells 0.25 x 1.32 mm R&D ongoing to validate this option: radiation hardness of SiPM, need dedicated shielding, low temperature… Need to keep the fibre straight to ~50 µm and flat to ~200 µm over 2.5 m!
21 Particle identification M. Artuso CPAD/Argonne No major changes envisaged for calorimeter and muon system Hadron ID (RICH): Immediate changes: replace HPD with maPMT For a later date: TORCH: Provide low momentum PID (important for flavor tagging) measure the time of flight of Cherenkov photons produced in 1 cm thick 6x5 m 2 plate Located after T stations resolution in arrival time per p.e. needed ~70 ps
Conclusions The LHCb upgraded detector is poised to pursue a vast array of very exciting physics topics with great discovery potential. The trigger/data acquisition concept is based on shipping the zero suppressed data from the front end to an event builder farm where a complex and flexible HLT trigger exploiting the tracking information to reconstruct the event topology can be implemented. The tracking system for the upgrade is designed to sustain higher data rates and radiation, as well as mass minimization in mechanical support and cooling. We are looking forward to this exciting chapter of the experiment. M. Artuso CPAD/Argonne1/10/201322
