  1. The LHCb Upgrade

  2. Outline • Introduction to LHCb • Advantages, challenges & limitations • The LHCb trigger • Introducing the LHCb upgrade • Aims & time scale • The upgraded trigger • The upgrade LHCb detector • Implications on the sub-systems • Conclusion L. Eklund, University of Glasgow

  3. LHCb – a brief introduction • Precision Flavour Physics at the LHC • CP violation and rare decays • Forward spectrometer geometry • Covers 2 % of the solid angle, but 27 % of the bb-pairs Muon Spectrometer Tracking System Calorimeters Vertex Detector Particle Identification L. Eklund, University of Glasgow

  4. Challenging the Standard Model • Looking for deviations • Probe ‘box’ or ‘loop’ processes • Precise SM predictions • Compare measurements that are (in)sensitive to BSM physics. • CKM angle γ in Bs->Ds K • CKM angle γ in Bd,s->ππ, KK • Sensitivity to mass scales far beyond direct searches • Precision measurement • Statistics! • Systematics! L. Eklund, University of Glasgow

  5. Experimental Edge and Challenge • LHCb has access to an unprecedented statistics • Challenging environment: hadron collider • Trigger & event selection Cross sections and 2011 yields in the detector acceptance PLB 694 (2010) 209-216 Charm cross-section @ 7 TeV: σacc = 1.2 mb LHCb-CONF-2010-013 pairs produced in the LHCb acceptance L. Eklund, University of Glasgow

  6. Current Operational Conditions • Currently: L = 4 x 1032 cm-2s-1 @ 50 ns bunch spacing & 8 TeV • Design value: L = 2 x 1032 cm-2s-1 @ 25 ns & 14 TeV • Interactions per bunch crossing: 1.5-2 • Design value: 0.4 • Luminosity Levelling: constant during the fill • LHCb is not limited by LHC L. Eklund, University of Glasgow

  7. Goals and Timeline • Increase the annual signal yield compared to 2011 • 10 times for muonic channels • 20 times for hadronic channels • Operate at instantaneous luminosity exceeding 1033 cm-2s-1 • Collect 50 fb-1 of integrated luminosity LHCb Upgrade installation LHCb Upgrade design & construction 2010 – 2012 collect 2.5 fb-1 @ 7-8 TeV 2015-2017 collect > 5 fb-1 @ 13-14 TeV 2019-2022 collect > 5 fb-1/year @ 13-14 TeV LS2: Injector and LHC Phase I GPD upgrades LS1: splice repairs L. Eklund, University of Glasgow

  8. LHCb Trigger Scheme • L0 H/W trigger • 4 μs latency in FE electronics • HLT S/W trigger • Implemented in CPU farm • Luminosity upgrade • Event yields saturate • Need full event information at L0 4.5 KHz L. Eklund, University of Glasgow

  9. Upgraded Trigger Scheme Optional Low Level Trigger throttle 1-40 MHz 40 MHz HLT Tracking and vertexing Impact Parameter cuts Inclusive/Exclusive selections 20 kHz to tape L. Eklund, University of Glasgow

  10. Challenge: Data Rates • Full detector read-out @ 40 MHz • Current Vertex Locator: 225 G samples/s (analogue) • Upgraded Vertex Locator: 2-3 Tbit/s (digital) • On-detector zero-suppression • Replace (almost) all FE electronics • Massive read-out infrastructure L0 front-end 1 MHz TELL1 40 MHzfront-end 40 MHz TELL40 L. Eklund, University of Glasgow

  11. Vertex Locator (Velo) Upgrade • The cooling challenge • Currently TPG subsrate • Diamond substrate? • Micro-channel cooling? • Complete replacement of modules • Large fraction of the infrastructure remains • E.g. cooling, motion, vacuum, … • Two options investigated • Strips: R-Φ geometry with reduced pitch • Pixel based on TimePix family of chips • Radiation Hardness • Up to 3 x 10^15 1MeV neq/cm2 L. Eklund, University of Glasgow

  12. Tracker Upgrade • TT tracking station • Currently: Silicon strip • Upgrade Redesigned silicon strips • Share FE chip with strip Velo • Current main tracker • Inner tracker: Silicon strip • Outer tracker: Straw tubes • Two options investigated • Silicon strip inner tracker + Straw tube outer tracker • Scintillating fibre central tracker + Straw tube outer tracker L. Eklund, University of Glasgow

  13. RICH Upgrade • RICH 1 and RICH 2 detectors remain • Remove aerogel radiator due to occupancy • Replace photo detectors with MaPMTs with 40 MHz read out • Possible addition (non-baseline): TORCH = DIRC + ToF • Quarts radiator with MCP photon detectors • 40 ps time resolution K-π separation vsp performance TORCH: Time Of internally Reflected Cherenkov Light L. Eklund, University of Glasgow

  14. Calorimeter & Muon Upgrade • Already used in L0 trigger • HCAL & ECAL: Keep detector modules and PMTs • Reduced PMT gain, increased FE amplification • Modified 40 MHz FE electronics • Muon Spectrometer: Keep chambers & FE electronics • Remove first station (M1) • High occupancy performance and aging under study Calorimeter FE ASIC prototype L. Eklund, University of Glasgow

  15. Performance Benchmarks Precision Measurements: Systematic uncertainties are the aim of the game ! L. Eklund, University of Glasgow

  16. Summary: The LHCb Upgrade • LHCb: precision flavour physics at LHC • Two years of successful operation and data analysis • Not limited by the LHC luminosity • Upgrade will read out the full detector @ 40 MHz • Installation during LHC LS2 (2018) • Data rates & read-out major challenge • Major impact on most detector systems • Active R&D since several years • EoI, LoI endorsed by LHCC • Framework TDR submitted • To reach our physics goals: • Large statistics and small systematics L.
