Performance of the LHCb Vertex Locator
The Vertex Locator is a silicon microstrip detector which provides the LHCb experiment with high precision measurements of tracks and decay vertices. The VELO sensors are exposed to a radiation dose of (2.5-6.5) x 10$^{13}n_{eq}$/cm$^2$ per fb$^{-1}$ in the area which is most irradiated. A best hit...

| description | The Vertex Locator is a silicon microstrip detector which provides the LHCb experiment with high precision measurements of tracks and decay vertices. The VELO sensors are exposed to a radiation dose of (2.5-6.5) x 10$^{13}n_{eq}$/cm$^2$ per fb$^{-1}$ in the area which is most irradiated. A best hit resolution of 4$mu$ is obtained for angled tracks, in agreement with expectations. The VELO has a vertex position resolution down to 11$mu$m in the transverse direction and an excellent momentum dependent performance. |
