description The LHCb silicon vertex locator (VELO) is an array of silicon planes installed in a retractable roman pot system, which will enable the LHCb experiment to reconstruct and trigger on b-hadrons produced in collisions at the LHC. The VELO will be also used to attempt measuring the absolute luminosity with a novel method based on vertex reconstruction of beam gas interactions. In this paper the VELO system, its construction and the results from the commissioning phase are presented. The options for a possible upgraded detector are also discussed.
