Abstract

LHCb is one of the experiments of the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, dedicated to B-physics and CP-violation measurements. To fully exploit the physics potential, a good tracking performance with high efficiency in a high particle density environment close to the beam pipe is required. Silicon strip detectors with large read-out pitch and long strips will be used for the LHCb inner tracker after the magnet and the trigger tracker station in front of the magnet. We report here about the design of the silicon tracker, test beam results and the electrical tests foreseen during module production.
