“…Then data are transmitted to the data-output interface. The built in analog to digital conversion enhances the robustness of the system, as the information is transmitted in digital form, and the analog readout provides significant improvement in the spatial resolution [19]. In particular, a resolution between 6 and 9 µm, dependent upon the track angle, was achieved with a pitch of 50 µm.…”

LHC will offer the opportunity of probing the mass scale of the electro-weak symmetry breaking. Thus we expect to uncover direct manifestations of physics beyond the Standard Model, which will raise new questions that may be elucidated by precision measurements of beauty and charm decays. The LHCb experiment is poised to pursue this ambitious program as soon as LHC turns on. An upgrade to enhance its physics sensitivity by at least one order of magnitude is critical to the completion of this study, as new physics effects may be subtle. A new vertex detector is a crucial element of this project. Important requirements are a radiation resistance up to a fluence of about 10 16 n eq cm −2 , and a front end electronics capable of delivering its event information to the back end receiver boards synchronously with the beam interactions, at 40 MHz.

“…Pulse heights are measured on each pixel. Prototype detectors were tested in a beam at Fermilab; excellent resolutions were obtained, especially when reading out pulse heights (Appel 2001) (see Figure 25(b)). The final design uses a 3-bit ADC.…”

Many topics are discussed in b physics including lifetimes, decay mechanisms, determinations of the CKM matrix elements |V cb | and |V ub |, facilities for b quark studies, neutral B meson mixing, rare b decays, hadronic decays and CP violation. I review techniques for finding physics beyond the Standard Model and describe the complimentarity of b decay measurements in elucidating new physics that could be found at higher energy machines.
