  1. J. F.J. van den Brand jo@nikhef.nl December 18, 2002 Status of the NIKHEF B Physics Program Prepared For:NIKHEF Annual Scientific Meeting

  2. Reduction of material (0.6 X0 0.4 X0 in front RICH-2): Better beam pipe and RF foil, light RICH mirror Reduce number of tracking stations (baseline: 9  4)  Tracking performance studies are promising KS reconstruction under investigation Use 1st station in Level-1 trigger Momentum information available in topology trigger May require a full silicon station (6.8 m2)  careful study still needed LHCb Light Marcel Merk, Gerhard Raven Jeroen van Tilburg, Jeroen van Hunen Rutger Hierck, Rutger van der Eijk Major change to tracking system (xx-uu-vv-xx layers/station) Reduced number of stations from 11 (TP) to 9 (OT TDR) to 4 (LHCb light)

  3. LHCb Light LHCb-light TDR submission  September 2003 Need to complete physics performance study with -improved reconstruction and analysis software -much higher bb statistics for the background study This delay does not compromise the overall LHCb plan. Design not affected VELO, T1 to T3 (OT and IT), RICH-2, CALO and Muon proceed towards the construction Re-design needed RICH-1: modify mechanics and optics to shield photon detectors TT: change to all silicon detector to be used in the L-1 trigger. With `LHCb-light’ detector Track reconstruction efficiency is good PID efficiency Track quality Trigger efficiency is good.  A TP level physics performance can be achieved after physics cuts are optimized.
