Descripción
Sumario:The LHCb experiment is designed to perform high-precision measurements of CP violation and rare decays of B hadrons.The construction and installation of the Silicon Tracker (ST) was completed by early summer 2008. The Silicon Tracker covers a sensitive area of about 12 m 2 using silicon micro-strip technology and must withstand charged particle fluxes of up to 5 x 105 cm-2s-1. In these proceedings the preparation of the detectors for the first LHC beams is reported. Selected results from the detector commissioning in LHCb are shown, including the first beam-related events accumulated during the LHC injection and synchronization tests in September 2008. Lessons are drawn from the experience gathered during the installation and commissioning.
