Customisation of the Large Area Picosecond Photodetector for the Upgrade II of the LHCb RICH

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: The LHCb is one of the four large experiments at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC). LHCb physics program includes studies of CP violation and decays of heavy-flavour hadrons. The RICH (Ring Imaging Cherenkov) detectors play a key role in particle identification. There is currently an intense detector R&D programme towards the LHCb Upgrade II, planned for 2032. One of the main photon detectors candidate for the Upgrade II of the RICH, the Large Area Picosecond Photodetector (LAPPD), will be presented, together with first tests and latest developments.
