LHCb Upgrade: Beyond the Energy Frontier.
Lead Research Organisation:
University of Liverpool
Department Name: Physics
Abstract
LHCb is a particle physics experiment operating at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. It is the world's leading physics experiment in its field and has a unique capability to explore physics beyond the Standard Model. LHCb's main aim is to search for new physics beyond the Standard Model through precision tests of matter anti-matter asymmetries (CP violation) and rare decays of particles containing beauty and charm quarks. The experiment also has world-class programmes in other areas due to its unique design and coverage of an angular region closer to the beams that at the other main LHC experiments.
The opportunity now exists to dramatically increase the reach of LHCb's programme and to widen its physics profile. The UK groups propose to lead the upgrade of the VELO (Vertex Locator), the most precise vertex detector at the LHC, and LHCb's unique RICH (Ring Imaging Cherenkov) particle identification (PID) system. A programme of physics performance studies, computing, reconstruction software and trigger algorithm development, and involvement in a new scintillating fibre tracker complements this work.

Planned Impact
The LHCb Upgrade offers strategic economic impact opportunities for UK Industry through the two major UK-led detectors (VELO, RICH), the novel scintillating fibre technology, and the DAQ and computing farm. External benefits include the development of novel pixel and cooling technology applicable to cancer treatment, molecular microscopy, light sources and fusion centres, and photon detectors applicable to medical imaging and positron emission tomography. The construction project has strong training opportunities for PhD students. LHCb-UK also has an enviable track record in public outreach through media, talks, exhibits and science festivals. A major exhibition on the theme of anti-matter will be sought for use at the Royal Society Summer Exhibition, and use at regional science museums.

| Description | Public engagement (tv programmes, press, inspiration for novels). Our VELO module has formed part of the Science Museum travelling LHC exhibit. Talks on LHCb physics (including the physics covered by the Upgrade programme) Radio interview on Inside Science (radio 4) about upgraded LHCb (trigger) I am PI on a successful application for the 2016 Royal Society Summer science exhibit called "Antimatter Matters" which showcased antimatter, LHCb and ALPHA research and PET scanners (as an example of a spin-off). The exhibit has toured Manchester science fair, the Gravity Fields festival, and will go to the Big Bang Fair in March 2017. I have recently begun exploring the underlying physics to be explored in the LHCb upgrade with other disciplines (eg. antimatter with the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, 2017,with associated radio 3 interview, and reprised in 2019, or in a wider sense exploring underlying concepts with the Arts@CERN Collide programme and winning artists such as Yuchul Kin and Yu-Chen Wang -exhibited in FACT, Liverpool during November 2018-March 2019 and touring France, Belgium, Spain and Korea- and in accompanying talks to exhibits - FACT, 2016,2017, 2018, Berlin 2018, Arts Catalyst 2017 and published writing 2018), Barcelona 2020 and Taiwan forthcoming. I have also hosted three short films for the Royal Institution in 2019, each of which explain a major LHCb news story - the discovery of charm CP violation, the discovery of pentaquarks and lepton universality measurements - all measurements underpinned by the current incarnation of the VELO detector. I have also participated in debates with theorists and philosophers around the deeper scientific questions raised by our research, in the How The Light Gets In festival. |
