Software Platform for the Monitoring and Calibration of the LHCb Upgrade I Silicon Detectors

Run 2 of the proton–proton collision data taking has finished at the end of 2018 and is now followed by the second long shutdown period (LS 2) that is going to be used for various upgrades and modification of all experiments operating at the LHC machine. The LHCb experiment will undergo a major upgrade in that time. In particular, the whole charge particle tracking system will be exchanged and adapted to read-out data at the LHC machine clock (40 MHz). Silicon planar technologies will be used for the vertex detector and Upstream Tracker. In this paper, we report on current status and plans regarding preparation of the high-level software platform for the emulation and monitoring of the silicon detectors of the upgraded LHCb spectrometer. This software is going to be an essential part of both detectors commissioning and daily operation.
