LHCb Muon Detector

LHC restarted operations in April 2022 planning to run at an average instantaneous luminosity of 2.0 × 10^33 cm−2s−1 at the LHCb interaction point, a factor of five higher than in the past. In order to take data at the increased luminosity and full bunch crossing frequency (30MHz visible interaction rate) in trigger-less mode, the LHCb Detector has undergone a major upgrade, allowing it to collect approximately 50 fb−1 in the next 10 years. Similarly to other parts of the detector the Muon stations feature new electronics, able to cope with the harsher environment. Steady progress has been made in commissioning the detector control system, calibration and alignment using data collected in 2022 and 2023. In 2024, the detector is expected to reach its nominal performance. Current status and prospects of the LHCb muon detector will be discussed in detail.

Abstract

LHC restarted operations in April 2022 planning to run at an average instantaneous luminosity of 2.0 × 10^33 cm−2s−1 at the LHCb interaction point, a factor of five higher than in the past. In order to take data at the increased luminosity and full bunch crossing frequency (30MHz visible interaction rate) in trigger-less mode, the LHCb Detector has undergone a major upgrade, allowing it to collect approximately 50 fb−1 in the next 10 years. Similarly to other parts of the detector the Muon stations feature new electronics, able to cope with the harsher environment. Steady progress has been made in commissioning the detector control system, calibration and alignment using data collected in 2022 and 2023. In 2024, the detector is expected to reach its nominal performance. Current status and prospects of the LHCb muon detector will be discussed in detail.
