Determination of the aperture of the LHCb VELO RF foil

Hadronic interactions in the material of the LHCb Vertex Locator are used to determine the aperture that the RF foil presents to the LHC beam. The aperture is found to be 4.5 mm, to be compared with the nominal value of 5.5 mm. The dierence is well within the tolerance of 2.4 mm considered for the s...

Sumario:Hadronic interactions in the material of the LHCb Vertex Locator are used to determine the aperture that the RF foil presents to the LHC beam. The aperture is found to be 4.5 mm, to be compared with the nominal value of 5.5 mm. The dierence is well within the tolerance of 2.4 mm considered for the safety of the beam.
