description The LHCb experiment's vertex locator, VELO, facilitates B-physics studies by providing precise information about both the production and decay vertices of b-hadrons. In addition, VELO is part of the second level trigger system for the experiment. This article reviews the design of the VELO detector, pointing out some of its distinguising features. Recent test beam results and future development plans are also mentioned. (2 refs).
