Sumario:The LHCb experiment at the LHC is dedicated to precision measurements of $CP$-violation and rare decays in the $b$ and $c$ sectors. The experiment features a tracking system consisting of silicon strip detectors and straw tube drift chambers up- and downstream of the magnet to precisely measure the vertex position and the momentum resolution of the particles travelling through the detector. An important ingredient to the track parameter resolution is the spatial alignment of the tracking system on which we report here.
