Calculation of Wakefields for the New Design of the LHCb Vertex Locator

The upgrade of the LHCb detector in the LHCb experiment was planned in 2011. The main purpose of the upgrade is an improvement of the functional abilities of the LHCb detector, such as the measurement and the collection of various characteristics of the particles produced by colliding protons. The new configuration of the LHCb detector will include an upgraded configuration of the LHCb VErtex LOcator (VELO) and a new design of the beam pipe for this detector. The wakefields for the new geometrical model of the beam pipe in the vertex locator have been calculated with the Wakefield Solver of the program CST STUDIO 2015. Preliminary results of the calculations are presented in this report.
