A study on Scintillating Fiber tracker optimisation for the LHCb upgrade

New tracking stations made from scintillating fibres are designed as a part of the LHCb Upgrade to provide the tracking capabilities in the data-taking environment foreseen after Run II. Due to the higher track multiplicity and higher total integrated radiation dose, larger inefficiencies are found in the simulation compared to the current tracker. This note presents the optimisation studies and proposals which would improve the reconstruction efficiency in the three stations of the scintillating fiber tracker.
