The LHCb Silicon Tracker

LHCb is one of the experiments for the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, dedicated to B-physics and CP-violation measurements. To fully exploit the physics potential, a good tracking performance with high efficiency in a high particle density environment close to the beam pipe is required. Silicon strip detectors with large readout pitch and long strips will be used for the LHCb Inner Tracker after the magnet and the Trigger Tracker station in front of the magnet. The design of the Silicon Tracker in LHCb and corresponding test beam results are presented here
