Preliminary risk anaslysis for the LHCb vertex detector

We present a preliminary risk analysis for the LHCb vertex locator (VELO). The scope of this risk analysis is to identify possible failure scenarios at the LHCb VELO and estimate the ensuing damage to equipment and downtime for LHC. Further, on the basis of a (preliminary) risk level for acceptabili...

Sumario:We present a preliminary risk analysis for the LHCb vertex locator (VELO). The scope of this risk analysis is to identify possible failure scenarios at the LHCb VELO and estimate the ensuing damage to equipment and downtime for LHC. Further, on the basis of a (preliminary) risk level for acceptability, we formulate requirements and suggest a number of precautions for the design of the VELO system.
