The LHCb Detector and Triggers

LHCb is a dedicated second generation B physics precision experiment at the LHC with the aim of studying CP violation and rare B decays. Its construction and installation is progressing on schedule and it will be ready for the LHC startup in 2007. The LHCb detector provides for a precise vertexing and tracking, excellent particle identification and proper time resolution, and an efficient and selective trigger. An overview and the status of the LHCb detector together with its trigger system is given.
